ALAMINOS CITY–Dreaming of a beachside sunset wedding with a scenic view of the Hundred Islands?

Make it come true – and have it for free – as the city government is sponsoring a mass civil wedding on Valentine’s Day, February 14, at the Lucap Wharf, the jump-off point to the Hundred Islands, one of Pangasinan’s most popular tourist destinations.

Reynaldo Castro, head of the Local Civil Registry said his office welcomes would-be couples who wish to be part of this memorable event. About 100 to 150 couples from the city’s 39 barangays, who will either to tie the knot or renew their wedding vows, are expected to join.

All interested couples have until January 31 to file their applications at the LCR.

For the past two years, the Valentine’s Day free wedding ceremony was held at Bolo Beach in barangay Pandan.

“With the scenic view of the Hundred Islands National Park as a backdrop, the perfect setting and romantic ambiance at the wharf, and the mammoth crowd witnessing this unforgettable affair of the hearts, the wedding couples will definitely treasure every moment of their sunset Valentine’s wedding, Mayor Hernani Braganza said.

Braganza will again administer the wedding ceremonies for the third straight year. He, along with his wife Stella and the city and barangay officials will also serve as principal sponsors to the brides and grooms.

“The initiative is also one of the many ways of reviving the old magic of the Hundred Islands and at the same time infusing love, joy, romance and sense of spirituality into the city’s pride,” the mayor said.–EVA
