LIONEL MESSI tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo… and “wedding of the century” had a legendary after-party complete with dodgy dancing and an even dodgier kiss.

A talking point from the wedding is the pair’s awkward kiss.
A lot has been made of Messi’s awkward kiss once they were pronounced husband and wife after a video emerged on social media.
Messi leaned in for a long smooch while Antonella had other ideas as she went for a little peck.
But after their awkward encounter the pair played it cool, with the Barcelona hero rubbing son Thiago’s head.
Another clip emerged of the pair partying hard with the 250 friends and family in attendance.
The newly married couple were on people’s shoulders as they partied into the night.
Attendees also had flashing, glowing neon bracelets on their wrists as they danced to the music.
Although phones were banned, clips emerged from the evening as people recorded the memorable night.
