Get Married For Free In Windsor This Valentine's Day

WINDSOR, CT — Couples who want to get married in Windsor are in luck — in honor of Valentine's Day, the Town Clerk's office is offering free marriage licenses on Feb. 14.

Any couple who wants to get married in Windsor within the next 65 days is eligible to get a free license. Couples must make an appointment with the Town Clerk's office, and during the meeting both people must be present and must bring photo identification.

The town has been offering free marriage licenses around Valentine's Day every year since 1962. The tradition stuck after Town Clerk George Tudan awarded one bride and groom a free marriage license, corsage and dinner at Dunphy's Tavern that year.
