40 Couples To Tie The Knot In Mass Wedding Ceremony

WEST PALM BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) – There will be lots of "I do's" and "You may kiss the bride" in West Palm Beach when more than three dozen couples tie the knot at a mass wedding ceremony on Valentine's Day.

About 40 couples are expected to marry at the National Croquet Center in a free wedding presided over by Palm Beach County's clerk and comptroller, Sharon Bock.

Local businesses, including a florist, photographer, DJ and wedding planner have donated their services for the event. Couples only had to pay for their marriage licenses.

It's the second year the county has hosted a Valentine's wedding celebration.
