New York, NY —

12 couples will be married today at the top of the Empire State Building. In past years, the World Trade Center hosted marathon marriages on its observation deck on Valentine’s Day. WNYC’s Marianne McCune spent one valentine’s morning recording ceremonies and speaking with newlyweds there – recently she spoke again with one of the couples and produced this story as part of the Sonic Memorial Project.
