Denmark football star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, 28, loved his wife so much he married her twice - as wedding season hits Danish squad

Denmark's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be familiar with many of his opponents when they take on England in Group C this evening. 

In fact, the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is clearly fond of familiarity, so much so that he married his wife twice in two years.

Hojbjerg first tied the knot with Josephine Siw Nelson in a ceremony so low key even his own mother was not invited. 

But two years after the union at Copenhagen City Hall the pair walked down the aisle again at a lavish ceremony in the city's Osterbro district, close to the national football stadium.

Following the ceremony, the 28-year-old posted a photograph of the couple in their wedding finery along with the caption: 'Mr and Mrs (for the second time)'. 

It's wedding season in the Danish squad, Andreas Christensen wed model and influencer Katrine Friis, 26, in a civil ceremony earlier this month. 

Ms Friis announced her marriage to the former Chelsea defender on Instagram with a photo and the message: 'Cheers to forever'.

Ahead of the Euros, the Danish squad agreed to refuse a pay rise in order to ensure their female counterparts receive equal pay.
