Ghanaian midfielder, Kevin Prince Boateng and his long time fiancee, Melissa Satta yesterday tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the church of Stella Maris parish in Italy with their 2-year-old son Maddox Prince being the page boy.

The simple but elegant ceremony saw a few of the couple’s closest friends and family in attendance.

The footballer has been with the model for four years and had their son, Maddox Prince two years ago.

Though there were rumours that the bride was to wear an unconventional colour for their nuptials, she wore a traditional white dress whiles her man dressed sharply in a black vintage tuxedo.

Kevin-Prince Boateng and Melissa Satta were feared to have been going through some problems in their relationship earlier this year but the couple may have patched things up and went ahead to make their relationship official.

Melissa ahead of the wedding ceremony indicated that the rite was not important to her and long term fiancé Prince Boateng but when Maddox was born, the pair felt it was just the right thing to do; a form of protection for their child and a glue to unite the family.

Congratulations to Kevin-Prince Boateng and Melissa Satta.
