Preregistration required by Feb. 10; fee is $10 per couple
“The popular and romantic Say I Do Again wedding vow renewal ceremony” will be held once again on Valentine’s Day — Feb. 14 — on Siesta and Venice beaches, Sarasota County has announced.
This non-denominational service will be performed at Siesta Beach by 12th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Debra Johnes Riva and, at Venice Beach, by 12th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Kimberly C. Bonner, a county news release says.
According to Sarasota County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Department Program Coordinator Jonathan Poyner, “It’s a wonderful and inspiring sight to see hundreds of couples celebrating love and commitment during a gorgeous sunset.”
Poyner added in the release, “Being on our award-winning beaches with the most special person in your life is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day.”
Both events will begin promptly at 6 p.m., but couples are encouraged to arrive as early at 5 p.m., to check-in and enjoy music on the beach, the release notes. Preregistration is required by Feb. 10; the fee of $10 per couple covers the expense of a certificate, a gift reflecting the event, a flower and light refreshments, the release adds.
Siesta Beach is located at 948 Beach Road on Siesta Key, and Venice Beach is located at 101 The Esplanade in Venice.
