Row Officer Hosting Another Bucks County Veteran & First Responder Wedding Event

September 24, 2022

Bucks County Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court Linda Bobrin will host another Vows and Veterans free wedding for veterans and first-responders this fall.

Bobrin, a Democrat, will host the free wedding ceremony and reception couples with at least one veteran or first-responder who apply for a marriage license with the office between September 12 and November 6.

Vows for Veterans has previously hosted weddings at the Bucks County Administration Building in Doylestown Borough and along the Delaware River in Bristol Borough.

From Bobrin’s office:

The event will take place in the courtyard of the Bucks County Courthouse Administrative Building in Doylestown, PA from 12pm-2pm. Former Under Secretary of the Army Patrick J. Murphy will be the officiant. A marriage renewal ceremony for veteran and first-responder couples will also take place. Couples may invite family and friends to attend.

Interested couples should email emarriage@buckscounty.org and begin a marriage license application. Bucks County marriage applications are accepted on-line and can be started at the following link: https://propublic.buckscountyonline.org/psi3/marriagelicense.

The Bucks County Clerk of Orphan’s Court gives a $20 discount on marriage licenses to veterans and first-responders in honor of their service to the community. The first five couples to sign up for this free wedding will also receive a free night at HollyHedge Estate.

Vows and Veterans is part of the Bucks County Clerk of Orphans’ Court’s successful Weddings for Heroes program. This wedding will be the fourth Weddings for Heroes event, following the November 2021 Vows and Veterans, February 2022 Vows and Valentines, and June 2022 Vows and Valor. Ms. Bobrin intends to continue to hold Vows and Veterans annually in November and Vows and Valentines in February.
