Barcelona star Xavi got married to his partner Nuria Cunillera, with the majority of his team-mates in attendance.
The couple, who have been dating since before Spain's victorious Euro 2012 campaign, will spend their honeymoon in the Seychelles after being seen off by most of the Barca squad.
Lionel Messi was among a host of Barcelona stars to attend the wedding of the midfield maestro on Saturday.
Hundreds of well-wishers turned out to greet the couple as they arrived at the Convent de Blanes in the Catalan capital at around 6pm.
Messi and his girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo were joined on the guest list by team-mates including Víctor Valdes, Cesc Fabregas, Javier Mascherano, Pedro Rodriguez, Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta.
The lavish reception was at the Marimurtra Botanical Gardens with a host of Xavi's former team-mates and Liga stars also joining the party.
They included Santi Ezquerro, David Villa, Oleguer Presas, Gabri García, Pepe Reina and Albert Jorquera as well as former Athletic Bilbao winger Joseba Etxeberría.
But there were a number of high-profile absences such as Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol, both abroad, and Iker Casillas, Xavi’s close friend, who is still on holiday.
