More than 130 couples renewed their wedding vows during LuLu’s Tropical Re-Union celebration on February 15, extending the Valentine’s Day spirit for another day at the popular waterfront restaurant.

  • Wedding officiant Lynn Dominique led the mass ceremony as couples stood hand-in-hand, each receiving a personalized certificate signed by restaurant owner Lucy Buffett and Dominique. The event, offered complimentary to participants, included roses for the women.

The Somyer family of Crestview made the celebration particularly special, with three generations – mother, daughter, and granddaughter – renewing vows with their respective husbands.

Following the ceremony, couples celebrated with dancing, champagne, and wedding cake. The restaurant presented awards to couples married the longest and shortest times, as well as recognition for best-dressed participants.
