For the 10th year, the Pasco Clerk & Comptroller’s Office will facilitate a group Valentine’s Day wedding ceremony. The date: Wednesday, Feb. 14.
Couples eager to tie the knot in an especially memorable fashion are invited to exchange vows in a group ceremony on the photogenic grounds of the Pasco County Historic Courthouse in Dade City.
The Honorable Judge Kemba Lewis is scheduled to officiate.
The popular annual event has witnessed the uniting of nearly 180 couples since the inaugural group celebration in 2009. Last year, 28 couples were united. The record – 36 simultaneous marriages – was set in 2015.
“It is breathtaking to see this celebration of love and friendship on Valentine’s Day,” said Paula S. O’Neil, Ph.D., Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller, “and we look forward to facilitating this ceremony again.”
Couples may register for the Valentine’s Day Ceremony when applying for marriage licenses no later than Friday, Feb. 9. A certified marriage certificate will be mailed to participating couples the day after the ceremony, accompanied by the official certificate of marriage.
Couples should arrive at the Pasco County Historic Courthouse by 1 p.m. Valentine’s Day with their marriage license and identification.
