St. Valentine has struck it big in Peru. One hundred and forty couples have chanted "I do" in unison at a St. Valentine's Day ceremony in the La Victoria district of Peru's capital, Lima.
City officials say they are encouraging couples to formalize long-term relationships. Among the newlyweds are 72-year-old Lucio Mela and 59-year-old Peregrina Trujillo, who have been living together for almost 30 years. (AP)
