Inside Italy footballer Marco Verratti and model Jessica Aidi’s stunning wedding in Paris

He’s a world-class footballer and she is a stunning swimsuit model, so it is of little surprise the wedding of Italy’s Euros-winning Marco Verratti and his model girlfriend Jessica Aidi was a seriously stylish affair.

Newlywed Jessica, 29, who has appeared in the pages of Sports Illustrated, shared an intimate look at their nuptials in Neuilly Sur Seine, outside Paris, on her Instagram account yesterday, hours after a handful of official photos were released.

The snaps from family and friends reveal a chic civil ceremony at the historic Mairie de Neuilly-sur-Seine, or the town hall, followed by a lavish banquet dinner at the five-star Hotel de Crillon, complete with a performance by former First Lady Carla Bruni, an abundance of fresh flowers and a fireworks display over the rooftops of the French capital. Rooms at the hotel, part of the Rosewood group, cost up to 7,000 euros a night.

As might be expected for such an extravagant occasion, the bride stepped out in two breathtaking ensembles – a daring cream lace suit for the marriage ceremony and a slinky figure-hugging gown with a plunging back and sleek train for the evening reception.
