As we are less than a week away from Valentine’s Day, that most romantic of holidays, we look back on the myriad weddings that have been covered by PaperCity digital over the years. While we have posted hundreds of wedding pictures, we have waded through the sea of love and selected 26 of our favorite images.

The wedding coverage has ranged from a rainy wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to a glorious celebration in an 18th century building in Mexico City. We revisit ranch weddings, beach nuptials and traditional church weddings in Dallas and Houston. Each bring memorable images that stand out from the rest.

Spotlighted are colorful Indian weddings and the wedding of a Houston couple who flew to Indonesia for a traditional wedding that included ceremonies over several days.

We take a second look at the marriage of Chance the Rapper to Houston’s Kirsten Katrina Corley at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach in 2019 and the Palm Beach wedding of Astros owner Jim Crane and Whitney Wheeler in June of 2017.
