Nearly 200 couples will be tying the knot in San Diego this Valentine’s Day.
County employees will be working from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday as couples wed outside at County Administration Office.
The County Clerk said 187 couples will say “I do” at the park.
Those weddings will take place at the Waterfront Park throughout the day.
Flower shops in the city are also feeling the heat this Valentine's Day.
Flowers by Coley in Kearny Mesa said the average price for a dozen roses is usually about $65, but goes up to $95 around Valentines day.
"We're paying twice, sometimes more as a flower shop depending on how well prepared you get as a flower shop. You know last minute orders, sometimes those prices goe even higher. So, we could be paying two to two and a half times as much for our rose prices," said Alex Colmenero of Flowers by Coley.
