Inside Leo Messi's lavish wedding: Stars arrive for the ceremony after the bride's dress arrived on private jet... but will footballer's big day be spoiled by 'rift between his mother and wife'?

Leo Messi is marrying childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo at a casino and hotel in Rosario, Argentina
Footballing stars from around the world have flown into Messi's hometown alongside the singer Shakira
Security is extremely tight, with 450 police officers and ex-Mossad agents drafted in to cover the big event
Reports in Argentina have claimed that the wedding could be overshadowed by tensions within the family
But Messi himself dismissed speculation of any kind of rift between his mother and wife-to-be as 'nonsense'
A friend added: 'The relationship between the families is really good, they get on well. Claims that they it is not are absolutely false.'

Leo Messi, the world's greatest footballer, marries his childhood sweetheart today in a lavish Argentinian ceremony – and has left nothing to chance.
More than 250 friends and family - including some of football's biggest stars - have jetted to Argentina, cars are waiting at the airport to whisk them to the venue while the bride's dress arrived from Spain by private jet accompanied by two bodyguards.
At the plush hotel complex where the couple will marry, mobile phones have been banned, staff sworn to secrecy and 450 police officers drafted on duty.
However there is one aspect which may overshadow the 30-year-old Barcelona star's big day – claims in Argentina of tension between his close-knit family and the woman he fell in love with at the age of five.
A source close to the Messi family has told MailOnline that relations between his family and fiancée Antonella Roccuzzo have been strained for nearly seven years.
The friend said that while the two families might appear united during tonight's luxurious celebrations there has been tension in the past.

'Claims that they it is not are absolutely false. Last night, for example, there was a cocktail at the hotel where both families where having dinner together and talking to each other, laughing, making jokes.'
Guests at the wedding will receive as their souvenir of the big day a bottle of Messi's own budget brand of wine - which sells for just £16.
Those arriving at the City Center hotel complex in Rosario receive a box with a bottle of the L10 wine, as well as a small jar of dulce de leche caramel sauce, according to the TcSSports website.
A card in the box reads: 'Welcome. Thank you for sharing with us this special moment. Leo and Anto.'

On Thursday some of the world's most famous soccer stars arrived in Rosario aboard 12 private jets and with guaranteed VIP entrance into Rosario, few people noticed another private plane touch down in the town

Few people noticed another private plane touch down in the town which was carrying the bride's dress, accompanied by two bodyguards, Argentinian press reported.

Money is all I see; imagine a private plane just for the bride's gown? Even with bodyguards?
