San Francisco City Hall was abuzz with activity on Friday, February 14, as a total of 253 couples seeking to be married joined the queue to receive special Valentine’s Day Marriage Certificates. Some couples brought along their pets. Others were accompanied by children playing while waiting in the long line.
A large bowl of chocolate hearts wrapped in red were waiting at the security desk in the building’s main entrance. Nearby was a sign that read: “San Francisco, The City of Love, Wishes You a Happy Valentine’s Day.”
In the Rotunda, couples shared affections, danced, paused to be photographed, shared stories, and made plans for their futures. Others enjoyed pastries and beverages served by Tallio’s Coffee & Tea staffers wearing t-shirts that read, “Come and taste the community.”
A few blocks away on Polk Street, customers waited in line at Bob’s Donuts for heart-shaped treats, covered in a black or red sugar glaze and topped with red, pink, and white sprinkles.
