"It's sort of the speed dating. But it's wonderful," said certified chaplain Kye Flannery, who served as the day’s officiant."I love seeing how many different ways people triumph over adversity and just find love in unexpected places," said Flannery.

"So that was totally on me," said Dianna Yip, who surprised her husband of five years, Paul Richlovsky. "She went ‘Zero Dark Thirty’. All I knew was that I had to get a haircut and I had to have my suit on," said Richlovsky."The element of surprise is always good for relationships," said Richlovsky.And if this Valentine’s Day is leaving you a little more bitter than sweet, here’s some free advice from the happy couples."It springs up in the most unlikely of places," said Roach.
