Here comes the bride: It was a real family affair for the millionaire footballer.
With the almost incessant scandals that emerge from the world of football it’s refreshing to find that some players can behave themselves. Take Didier Drogba for instance – the Chelsea star married his long-term partner this weekend in a private ceremony minus the opulence commonly associated with the world of millionaire footballers. Drogba, 33, tied the knot with Lalla Diakite at the Marie de Monaco in Monaco. The centre forward sported a simple grey suit for the ceremony, while his wife also kept it relatively simple in a plain white gown. The ceremony was officiated by club owner Roman Abramovich, with team-mates Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda among the groom’s men. RnB superstar Akon and a host of stars from NBA were also said to be included on the list of guests for the event. Drogba also flew in singer J Martins from Nigeria. And, although the setting and guestlist were both indicative of the football star’s wealth, Drogba kept his day as simple as he could.
