Lovebirds hunting for an absolute destination to exchange their wedding vows should look no further. The domicile of Juliet where, legend Romeo wooed the young maiden under her balcony, will be shortly used as a spot for weddings.

The city's councillor for tourism, Daniele Potalo said: "we will be offering tourist packages, which include weddings, just like Las Vegas does". He also added that it is a way of using the city's artistic heritage to boost tourism.

However, the privilege of getting wedded in the courtyard will not come inexpensive. The Britons and other European Union nationals will be charged an amount of 800 euros. While the Couples from outside the Europe should pay 1,000 euros and the locals will have to pay a comparatively cheap 600 euros.

This plan is officially set to be lofted in next few days and shall be called as "Sposami a Verona" Marry Me in Verona. The building is believed to have been the family home of the Cappellos who, according to legend, were Juliet's family, the Capulets in the play.

However, historians claim authenticity to support the theory.
