Some couples were at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on Tuesday, February 14th for matrimonial bliss -- putting a bit more meaning into the day of love.
Each couple had their own story to tell.
It wasn't your run-of-the-mill courtroom either -- instead festively decorated for the special occasion.
"It is my pleasure, my privilege to pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," said the officiant.
