Love was in the air on Valentine’s Day as Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens officiated the marriages of a dozen couples at Piedmont Park.
Hosted by Marry We, dozens of couples got married in a ceremony at Greystone at Piedmont Park on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
During the wedding event, songs like “The Lady in My Life” by Micheal Jackson and “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston were covered beautifully by a talented saxophonist. There was a certain feeling of unity, love, and joy in the air during Valentine’s Day 2024.
The “Marry We” mass wedding ceremony is hosted by Southern Hospitality Event Group. Couples signed up online and paid $1,000 to participate in the ceremony. Couples also were invited to renew their wedding vows.
Marry We also invited professional dancers and performers to give a beautiful performance to open the wedding.
“It is an honor to join you all during this beautiful Valentine’s Day evening here at Piedmont Park,” Dickens said. “We are gathered together to celebrate the union of individuals and for some couples, a renewal of their vows who have made the decision to live their lives and walk into the unknown of the future together.”
Dickens also shared a passage from the novel, “The Amber Spyglass” by Phillip Pullman with couples. The passage talks about loving your partner forever no matter what happens in the future and even after death.
Couples took pictures, laughed, and enjoyed each other while taking in such a monumental day and time. Also, couples received packages which included a marriage license signed by Dickens, portraits, and a wedding gift.
Additionally, after the ceremony there was an indoor reception, catered by Dennis Dean Catering. The reception included dinner, dessert, music, and an open bar.
