A ROMANIAN footballer who played at Euro 2024 got married with the eyes of a nation watching.
Ianis Hagi helped his country make it into the knockout stages by playing in all four of their matches.
But he could not prevent a 3-0 last 16 loss to Netherlands - who were eventually beaten in the semis but finalists England.
Still, there was plenty to smile about for Rangers' Hagi after he tied the knot with partner Elena.
And amazingly it was aired live on TV in Romania with broadcaster Direct said to have paid over £200,000 for the rights.
Hagi wore a cream suit with a black bow tie while partner Elena was also dressed in white.
