Valentines in Vegas

red rosesAccording to reports, the number of couples seeking marriage licenses in Clark County, Nevada this year will be as high as or higher than past years.

As of 7 p.m. Monday, February 13, over 600 people had requested marriage licenses from the Clark County Marriage License Bureau, with an estimate of 200 more to be processed before midnight.

On The Day of Love, today, February 14, it's anticipated there will be another 600 licenses issued. That's twice the number of licenses for a normal weekday.

Throughout the Vegas Valley, it is estimated that couples will be married every 10-15 minutes starting at midnight, February 14, and not letting up until after midnight, February 15.

It seems they all want "The LOVE-DATE" for an anniversary.

Not me. That means one less gift a year. Send me flowers on my anniversary AND on Valentine's Day!

The Saturday before Valetines Day I did a local fundraiser at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, in Williston Vermont. I dressed and packaged about a hundred bears. Four of which were "Marriage Bears" with wedding proposals attached. (Just so you know that night alone over 40,000 bears were shipped.) These were delivered accross the country, so it seems that love is truly in the air on Valentines Day!!!
