A few days ago, Edurne Garcia – the wife of goalkeeper David de Gea – shocked many people when she revealed that she hired someone to “kidnap” guests at her wedding to surprise them.

However, this is not the only “unforgettable memory” that happens at football weddings.

David Beckham: Unexpected wedding outfit

At the wedding held in 1999, David Beckham and his wife Victoria surprised everyone by wearing purple matching outfits, a color that probably no one would choose on their happy day. Not stopping, the couple also sat on a chair decorated like a throne.

Later, Beckham also had to admit that he and his wife appeared “ridiculous” and “like idiots”.

Anyway, in return, the couple brought guests a luxurious menu and many interesting activities throughout the wedding.

Lionel Messi: There are more security staff than guests

In 2017, Messi held a wedding with his long-time girlfriend Antonella. Here, guests are not allowed to bring phones to ensure privacy for the bride and groom. About 450 security staff were deployed on duty while only about 250 guests attended.

Female guests are also advised to bring 3 sets of dresses in case of duplicates. Evangelina – Martin Demichelis’s ex-wife – even brought 5 dresses to the wedding. Male guests are advised to bring 3 different shirt styles.

Gareth Bale: Keep it a secret until the last minute

Former midfielder Gareth Bale is said to have kept his wedding so secret that the guests only knew the location a day before. Just like Messi, guests are not allowed to bring phones into the wedding.

Bale initially planned to hold the wedding at an ancient building in Italy and invite singer Beyonce to perform. However, the former Welsh star eventually decided to change and move to the island of Tagomago (Spain) because this is where the player met his wife.

David de Gea: Kidnapping a guest

Goalkeeper David de Gea married his 5-year-old girlfriend Edurne Garcia last year, not long after his contract with MU ended.

Garcia said so that the guests wouldn’t forget, the couple decided to have a special action.

“The wedding ceremony and reception, everything was fine. But after everyone ate, I wanted to bring something surprising. So, for the dessert, I hired someone to ‘kidnap’ ‘ them and put them in the back of a truck.

About 20 people were arrested that day. I really like teasing so I did it. I know I was selfish and might have made the guests uncomfortable. However, I’m sure they had a memorable time,” this girl said.

Mohamed Buya Turay: Ask your younger brother to “marry for you”

If compared in terms of popularity, Turay is far behind the names mentioned above. However, this guy’s case is perhaps the most ironic.

In 2022, Turay plans to get married with his girlfriend and both plan to hold it on July 21. However, before that, Turay was signed by Malmo Club (Sweden). The team requires the striker born in 1995 to appear at the launching ceremony on July 22.

Because his hometown of Sierra Leona is very far from Sweden, Turay could not get to Sweden in time if the wedding was completed.

In the end, this guy chose to sacrifice a happy day to debut for the biggest team of his career. However, a wedding is not complete without a groom. Therefore, Turay asked his younger brother to “stunt” to walk with his bride, Suad Baydoun.

“We got married on July 21 but I wasn’t there because the club suddenly wanted me to be there earlier. I posted a wedding photo and everyone thought I was at the wedding but in fact it was taken before. My younger brother appeared at the wedding instead of me”, Turay confided.

It’s a pity for Turay because he did not play successfully at Malmo and his contract was terminated after only 10 months.

Turay was unable to attend his wedding because he was busy with his football team debut
