Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi's wedding with childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo was a global event.

The mercurial forward married Roccuzzo in a party billed Argentina’s ‘wedding of the century.’

Messi met Roccuzzo, who is also from Rosario, when they were growing up. The couple have two children, Thiago, 4, and Mateo, 21 months.

Messi beamed as he enjoyed the special event with over 250 friends and family.

Past and present Barcelona team mates Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano, Neymar and Luis Suarez were all there, as was Gerard Pique and his pop star wife Shakira.

Several Premier League players were also among the 260 guests, including Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.
