Couples Flock To Old County Courthouse In Santa Ana For 2/2/22 Wedding Day
SANTA ANA (CBSLA) — Love was in the air at the Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana on Tuesday as couples got married on 2/2/22.
"February 2nd, 2022 is a popular day to get married," said groom Christopher Yanis.
With so many "two's," Tuesday marked a wedding date that's hard to forget.
"Well, today just sounds so fun. 2,2,22 and it's a day we'll never forget for sure so we wanted to make it memorable," said bride Belinda Negrete.
"It works perfectly because how can you forget that date you know, 2,2,22," Yanis said.
Actually, 2/2/22 wasn't the first choice for many of these newlyweds. They'd hoped for later in the month on a day with even more two's.
But as it is, 2/2/22 was a busy wedding day.
"I think that's my lucky number and we love that number," said bride Kylie Le.
"The number two means that only me and my wife," said groom Quang Truong.
