This summer one of the greatest footballers of all time, Lionel Messi, skipped his own wedding.
Before the official ceremony in Argentina, the star of "Barcelona" advised the guests not to bring expensive gifts, but rather to throw cash into a special charity box.
That way, L. Messi and his wife Antonella Roccuzzo intended to raise funds for children affected by poverty.
"Marca" reports that after the ceremony, the newlyweds were shocked - 260 wealthy guests donated only 9562 euros.
The press also mentioned the fact that after the event, Messi's friend Gerard Pique lost 11 thousand euros in the casino.
