Valentine’s Day Marriage Ceremonies At The Airport
Now, here is a great story you can tell your children and grandchildren someday: “We got married on Valentine’s Day at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas!”
According to an article written by Ricardo Torres-Cortez on ReviewJournal.com, once again this year, Clark County is operating a “pop-up” marriage license bureau, right there in an office space in the luggage pickup area.
Well, we are known as the “Wedding Capital of the World,” so why not make it as easy as possible to get hitched here in Las Vegas. You land at the airport with your fiancée, go get your luggage, walk into the office, pay $102 bucks, and boom, you have a marriage license. You can now get married with an Elvis impersonator right there in the airport, or head to one of the other Las Vegas chapels to tie the knot. Easy peasy.
The temporary office in the airport has been operating since February 2nd. It will close again after Valentine’s Day. This is not the first year the office has been open in the airport. Clark County has opened it up just about every year since 2018, except in 2021, due to the pandemic.
Last year, mainly due to the large number of couples who wanted to get married on 2/22/22, they sold 432 marriage licenses, per the Torres-Cortez article. This year, as of Monday afternoon, February 13th, they had sold 220 marriage licenses, and two vow renewal certificates. I didn’t know you needed one of those to renew your wedding vows. I learn something new every day!

Top 7 Flowers And Bouquets To Give On Valentine's Day
7) Calla Lilies
They come in a variety of colors to create whatever mood and feeling your looking for. Long-stemmed Calla Lilies would be a sure show-stopper.
6) Alstroemeria
I can’t pronounce it, but it sure is pretty! This flower is a relative of the lily which Hosken and Goldsmith say “possesses a subtle scent your loved one will adore.” Can’t go wrong here.
5) Pink Tulips
Once again, a flower which comes in many different colors. Each color comes with it’s own meaning. According to the authors, pink tulips “are meant to symbolize care and affection.” A perfect gift for your one true love.
4) White Lilies
The authors recommend mixing these white lilies with some roses for an amazingly beautiful bouquet. Or, you can let them stand on their own because they represent joy. Bringing joy to your loved ones is what Valentine’s Day is all about.
3) Sunflowers
A big bouquet of cheerful sunflowers would bring a big smile to your Mom or best friend on Valentine’s Day. Heck, why not buy a bouquet for yourself to cheer up your home or office. You deserve it!
2) Purple Orchids
Purple orchids are delicate, exotic, and best of all, if you buy them as a potted plant instead of as a bouquet, “they can last for years, blooming each spring as special reminder of your relationship” according to the TownAndCountryMag.com article.
1) Red Roses
Last, but certainly not least, the classic Valentine’s Day bouquet for that special someone. You just can’t go wrong with a dozen long-stemmed red roses. The authors suggest mixing in some pink roses which signify poetic love and admiration. Happy Valentine’s Day!
