According to the Times of India, an Indian fan dragged his wedding date for nearly a year in order to get married on Messi's birthday.
The Indian fan named Shibu Cletus got married on the 24th of this month, on Messi's 32nd birthday, and in order to choose this "auspicious day", Shibu's wife and father-in-law and mother-in-law waited with him for almost a year.
"<b>I got engaged on July 15, 2018 and although my wife's parents and family have asked for a wedding as soon as possible, I said you must wait for Messi's birthday. </b>Shibu said. "My wife didn't know much about football, but she agreed."
"She told me she was fully ready to marry me on Messi's birthday and was fully supportive of my plans."
Wedding venues with special colour schemes
According to <b>reports, on the wedding day, Shibu transformed the wedding venue into a football field and placed paper people such as Messi, C Luo and Pele, and the couple was happily married under the witness of "football legends". </b>
"Turning the wedding venue into a stadium and marrying my wife in front of Messi and other players has always been my dream." Shibu said. "Football is everything to me, it was a dream wedding and I thank all my family and friends who supported me."
The report said that the 27-year-old Shibu asked 10 friends to help turn the wedding venue into a stadium, and now he can brag that he is one of the few people who got married under the witness of Messi, and we can only hope that his wife will not become a Ronaldo fan, otherwise there may be a fight.
