“This is the last time this century that couples can have a wedding date like this,” said Clerk Sharon Bock. “Getting married in the courtroom of Palm Beach County’s Historic Courthouse is a way to make the day even more special for couples who choose to get married with us on 12/12/12.”

Ceremonies will be held between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the restored 1916 county courthouse, 300 N. Dixie Hwy. in West Palm Beach.
