Nearly 60 local couples have e-mailed applications to the Centennial office from which two winning couples will be chosen by a jury comprised of a marriage counselor, a divorce attorney and a happy couple with 30 years of wedded bliss behind them. Applications are under review now and the winners will be announced on this Web site as soon as they are chosen.

Cold Stone Creamery will provide the wedding party with an individual wedding cake. Southwest Airlines will provide air transportation for a honeymoon to selected locations.
