Love is in the air in Dawson County.

“Last year we performed 15 individual Valentine weddings and vow renewals,” said Chief Magistrate Judge Lisa Thurmond. “We encourage couples to call early.”

A marriage license from probate court is required for new marriages. No license is required for vow renewals.
