Valentine’s Day wedding dates filling up quickly

Orange County lovebirds planning to wed this Valentine’s Day should reserve an appointment in the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s office as soon as possible, as the busiest wedding day of the year has quickly filled up the agency’s schedule.

Fifty weddings in the office are already planned, compared to the average 30 a day the office sees.

The number could quickly rival last year’s 120, Clerk-Recorder Tom Daly said.

Couples can marry at the Old County Courthouse, 211 W. Santa Ana Blvd., Santa Ana, or at the South Orange county office, 24031 El Toro Road, Laguna Hills. Outdoor ceremonies are available at both locations.

Residents with questions about services are encouraged to call David Cabrera at (714) 834-4372.
