These days, a funny video of a fictitious Argentine couple that gathers the family tensions generated by soccer in general, and the World Cup in particular, went viral on the networks, particularly among soccer lovers.

The poor protagonist falls out of the world when he realizes that the wedding of his better half's cousin falls in the middle of the World Cup. She does not quite understand what the problem is if that day Argentina does not even play, but there is a Mexico-South Korea. The discussion they engage in is not wasted and will sound very familiar to football lovers, as well as their long-suffering relatives, who often have to suffer the madness generated by the passion for the leather ball.

What may seem like a cartoon seems like a real-life episode for wedding planners like Pilar Rosas, one of the people in charge of the bridal stationery firm Mylola in Barcelona. She remembers very well some nuptials that she helped prepare in 1994 and that coincided unexpectedly with the day when the title of Spanish League champion was decided between FC Barcelona and Deportivo de La Coruña.

"That is the first litmus test for the couple: she is saying 'no soccer please' and he is saying 'unless we can know how the game is going,'" he said.

He assures that the ceremony went very well, but when the banquet began, attention turned to soccer. Although the bride had vetoed the entrance of portable radios - it was the pre-mobile era - they could be seen on the tables. To the point that at a crucial moment, when a Deportivo player missed a penalty that gave the championship to the Blaugrana, half of the guests jumped for joy.

“The wedding is over. No cake, no dance, no nothing. The bride was very angry because she asked that there be no football at her wedding and the truth is that the role of her wedding was taken by the party, Rosas recalled.

That couple, whether for soccer or for any other reason, is no longer married.

Some boyfriends who share a passion for the ball or yield to the pressure of the couple to accommodate their fans decide to marry in a stadium. This can be done at the RDC Español, in Barcelona, whose magnificent facilities have already been the scene of various links with a footballing background.

Judit Ibáñez, one of the marketing managers of the Blue and Whites' club, said that ceremonies and banquets have been held in the middle of the field of play, and the poses for the official photographer were held within the framework of the goal, to symbolize that they marked “the goal of their lives”.

In particular, it recalls a wedding that took place on the same day as the 2016 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. Guests arriving at the banquet asked if there was a television screen, he said.

“When the banquet time came, the waiters had no one to serve. All the guests had gone to a room where there was a television, "he said. "The strongest, the worst is that even the groom went [there]."

That was not all. “But the worst, worst of all, is that when it was time for the wedding dance, the bride was alone at the table. When the cake came out to be cut with the groom, the bride was alone at the table. It is not that the groom disappeared, it is that the groom's mother, the groom's father, the bride's mother, the bride's father and the brothers disappeared,”she recalled.

To make matters worse, the game went to overtime and then to penalties, in which Real Madrid won. “They are still married, and they have had a very cute baby. I know that the boyfriend slept on the sofa that night."

The Spanish stadium does not only host weddings, events or conferences. It can also be the last resting place of the most loyal fans of the Catalan club. In one of the access doors to the stands, a columbarium has been built in which the ashes of members of the entity rest.

The individual costs about nitaria in which you can deposit the ashes of the loved one for about $ 1,404.

"Here what moves us is not a player who charges 200 million euros ($ 234 million), it is sentiment," said Ibáñez. "When you die [your remains rest in the stadium] and one of the most beautiful days of your life you also want to celebrate in the stadium." That is passion.
