STORYLINE:
In a free group wedding held every year by the Palm Beach County clerk’s office, 31 couples became officially married on Valentine’s Day.
The ceremony was led by clerk Joe Abruzzo. Within ten minutes, couples adorned in white elegant gowns, in matching black or red colors, or in floral brunch dresses made the official commitment in the historic first courthouse of the county.
This is the twelfth year that the clerk’s office has held this event, with turnout growing larger each year.
