Published February 14, 2016
A full Valentine's Day at the chapel Valentine's Day has always been one of the busiest days on our calendar. On February 14, 2016, eight couples said their vows here in North Houston — one after another, each with their own family, their own music, and their own version of the same short, meaningful ceremony.
Houston television stopped by FOX 26 Houston sent a crew to the chapel that day and published a story titled "Eight couples say 'I Do' on Valentine's Day." Chaplain Pat Blissett was identified in the coverage as Presiding Officiant, and the story described the chapel concept our couples already knew us for: Simple. Sweet. And Short.
Why short ceremonies work for Houston couples Most couples who come to us are not looking for a year of planning. They want a real ceremony, a real officiant, and a real place to stand together — without a ballroom minimum or a twelve-month timeline. That was true in 2016 and it is still true today.
Planning a Valentine's Day or memorable-date wedding High-demand dates fill in order of booking. If a specific date and time matters to you, reserve it as early as you can, get your Texas marriage license in hand ahead of time, and arrive a few minutes early so the ceremony starts on schedule.
