Barcelona now holding weddings at the Camp Nou for extra cash

Have you always wanted to have the European cup at your wedding? Well now you can! Thanks to Barcelona's latest money-making effort (perhaps to fund the acquisition of Cesc Fabregas?), you can now have your wedding at the Camp Nou with all of your closest friends and Barca's latest trophy haul (for an additional fee).

Former Barcelona hockey player Iban Anglada and his new wife Sigrid Sans (pictured above), an economist, became the first couple to have a wedding at Camp Nou and it reportedly cost them 60,000. The newlyweds and their 250 guests had pitchside drinks, while the dinner and after party were held inside.

Here's the pricing breakdown (via the AFP):

Holding a civil wedding ceremony at the stadium costs between 1,800 and 2,400 euros depending on the number of guests, according to the club.

The price for the banquet begins at 110 euros per person and the club can accommodate up to 750 guests.

Extras, such as displaying the trophies which Barcelona won last season, including the Champions League, at the banquet cost 1,500 euros.

"The dream of so many Barcelona fans is finally possible, celebrating your wedding at Barca," the club says in its brochure to promote its new wedding services.

Having Sergio Busquests show up and fall to the ground clutching his face during the first kiss costs 1,000 and if you want the groundskeeper to turn on the sprinklers at the height of your celebration, it will cost you an extra 300.
