28 couples plan to get married at Boston City Hall on Valentine’s Day, officials say

Valentine’s Day is the day for love. For more than two dozen local couples, it will be the day to get married at Boston City Hall.

City officials say 28 couples will be tying the knot during wedding ceremonies at City Hall on Wednesday.

The ceremonies will run between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., by appointment.

City officials earlier suggested that local couples could get married at City Hall on Valentine’s Day, according to a statement on the city’s website.

“Sign up for a Valentine’s Day wedding ceremony at Boston’s City Hall!” the statement said. “The Registry Division is now taking appointments for Valentine’s Day weddings. Please note that to accommodate demand, appointment slots are limited to 15 minutes each. But don’t worry, you can take as long as you want to take photos in and around City Hall!”

The city said it can accommodate wedding parties of up to 10 guests “and can’t wait to celebrate with you.”

But if you’re seriously considering saying “I do” --- do it fast.

As of 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, there appeared to be only one appointment left for a wedding ceremony on Wednesday morning, at 9:15 a.m., according to the booking schedule on the city’s website.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
