Arsenal stars celebrating a goal

It all started when Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil tied the knot with his lover and former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse on Friday, June 7th in Istanbul with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as his best man.

Ozil and former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse, 26, started dating in 2017 and announced their engagement in June last year.

Ozil's move has lit the way for his fellow teammates at arsenal as two other Arsenal teammates have decided to follow suit.

Social media posts of Gunners' stars Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Sead Kolasinac getting married have also surfaced.

Ozil, on Saturday, posted a photo of himself, teammate Sead Kolasinac and two ladies with one who appears to be Kolasinac's bride.

"Congratulations to the beautiful couple Mrs. & Mr Kolasinac. We wish you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together, lots of love,” Ozil posted on Instagram.

Whilst Ozil broke Kolasinac's marriage news, his other teammate and Armenian skipper Mkhitaryan decided to break his own on Instagram too.

He posted a photo of him in a suit and his newlywed in a gorgeous wedding gown in what looks like an old Cathedral setting.

"Marry me and stay with me forever,” wrote Mkhitaryan.
