Empire State opens annual Valentine wedding contest

When the Empire State Building puts out a request for proposals, qualified applicants must be willing to say “I do.”

The city’s tallest skyscraper allows weddings only once a year - at Valentine’s Day.

Fourteen couples will be chosen to marry, renew their vows or affirm their commitment to each other in ceremonies atop the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day weekend, 2010. Each couple will get a free, private 30-minute ceremony with up to 20 of their guests.

“From big-screen movie love scenes to sky-high proposals, this destination has always been a symbol of romance,” said Carley Roney, editor in chief of The Knot, which is sponsoring the event.

To enter the contest, applicants need to submit their romantic story, photos and reasons for wanting a skyscraper wedding to The Knot or Empire State Building by Dec. 9.

Winners will be chosen based on originality, creativity and their connections to the building.
