Hempstead Town Renew Vows

HEMPSTEAD TOWN HALL IS THE PLACE TO WED OR RENEW YOUR VOWS ON VALENTINE'S DAY
SPECIAL GIFTS FOR SENIORS CELEBRATING “AGELESS LOVE”

Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Town Clerk Mark Bonilla are inviting couples to wed or renew their vows on the most romantic day of the year, Valentine’s Day.

“I am encouraging couples who are planning their nuptials to schedule their ceremony for February 14,” said Murray. “Why not exchange wedding vows in our historic and charming courtroom under a festive arch of pink, white and red balloons? It is also the perfect opportunity for seniors to show that they are ‘young at heart’ and their love is ageless by renewing their vows.”

Valentine’s Day wedding ceremonies have always been special at Hempstead Town Hall. “Our facilities truly convey a warm and personal atmosphere that most government buildings lack,” observed Bonilla. “White columns and gold leaf filigree complement lovely colonial and antique lighting fixtures.”

Adding to the felicific atmosphere, several sponsors have provided all of the festive food and gifts for the occasion. Brides will receive roses, compliments of 1-800-FLOWERS, Fortunoff’s will provide chocolates for the couple and refreshments will be provided by Pathmark and Entenmann’s Family Bakery of East Meadow. Seniors who come in to exchange or renew their wedding vows will be feted in a special way.

“This is one of the most enjoyable functions that I preside over as Supervisor,” concluded Murray. “I wish all of our couples a lifetime of health and happiness together.”

Couples who are marrying for the first time must secure a marriage license at least 24 hours in advance (couples renewing their vows need only love and their presence). Reservations are needed for wedding and vow renewal ceremonies. Please call the Town Clerk’s office at 516-812-3019 to make a reservation or for more information. (end)
