A total of 29 couples tied the knot during the Doña Ana County Clerk’s annual event, “Romance at the Rotunda” on Valentine’s Day at the Doña Ana County Government Center building. Chief Deputy County Clerk Caroline Zamora expressed her joy about the event, stating, "At our office, we are a small part of critical moments in an individual's life, and this includes marriage and obtaining a marriage license. Our Romance at the Rotunda event is such a joy. Sharing the experience with loving couples and families is lovely and one of my favorite days of the year. I want to thank our Clerk's Office staff for their work to make this event a success. We have a wonderful and talented team at the Clerk's Office.”
The ceremonies were officiated by Deputy Clerk Brandi Delgado, Chief Deputy County Clerk Caroline Zamora, and Probate Judge Judith Ann Baca. The weddings took place concurrently in the building’s Rotunda, allowing family, friends, and passersby at the Government Center to witness the ceremonies and capture memorable moments through photographs. Some passersby even participated as last-minute witnesses in the marriage ceremonies.
Couples who wished to be married applied for their marriage license before February 14th on the County Clerk’s website and then scheduled their ceremony. After exchanging vows, the couples turned in signed marriage licenses for recording and filing by the Doña Ana Clerk’s Office Staff. Following the ceremonies, the couples were able to enjoy treats and take photos at the Government Center.
The Doña Ana County Clerk’s Office extended congratulations to all the couples involved and expressed gratitude to the remarkable team at the Clerk’s Office and the Government Center team for making the special day successful.
