(1 Jul 2017) Lionel Messi and his childhood sweetheart married on Friday night at a ceremony in his Argentine hometown attended by some of the biggest names in soccer. • About 250 guests attended the marriage of Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo at a luxury hotel. • They included Messi's Barcelona teammates Neymar, Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique, who was joined by his wife, Colombian pop star Shakira. • Argentines were abuzz over the wedding in Rosario, an agricultural hub and the country's third-largest city about 300 kilometers (186 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires. • About 150 journalists were allowed to cover the event but had no direct access to the ceremony or the party afterward. • Curious onlookers gathered before the wedding near the heavily guarded site hoping to snap photos of the soccer stars. • Messi, 30, grew up in a lower-middle-class neighborhood in Rosario along with two brothers and a sister. • His bride, 29, is the cousin of a close Messi friend and the new couple has been close friends since meeting at a young age. • Messi and Roccuzzo stayed in touch after he left to play soccer in Spain at age 13 and they eventually started a romantic relationship in the late 2000s. • Roccuzzo moved to Barcelona, where the couple lives with their two sons: 4-year-old Thiago and 1-year-old Mateo. • But they often return to their native Rosario. • Messi, a five-time FIFA world player of the year, has faced criticism in Argentina because he has never brought the country a major title, in contrast to his repeated successes playing for Barcelona. • But he is praised both at home and abroad for keeping his common touch. • • #Messi #Wedding #soccer #football • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
