Niagara Falls, NY - The Honeymoon Capital of the World issued more than eleven-hundred marriage licenses in 2013, which is the most in forty years.
Kimberly and Kiera Smith are both from Niagara Falls, but they met in high school at the State Fairgrounds. They got married this year in Niagara Falls.
"She walked by my competition site. It was inevitable. I had to wave and say hi and everything," says Kimberly Ortiz-Smith.
"We were complete strangers at that time. I just saw her cooking and I was like, all right, hi," says Kiera Smith.
"We were hoping the actual Falls, but it's a little too cold for that," says Ortiz-Smith.
Niagara Falls issued more wedding licenses in 2013 than it has in any year since 1973. The mayor says revenue from marriage ceremonies performed by the two Marriage Officers in the Clerk's Office almost doubled from 2012 to 2013.
