Interfaith couples, Buddhist couples, same-sex couples…couples of all kinds celebrated their relationships on Friday (Feb. 14) at Unity Temple in Kansas City, Mo. The only requirement was love.

As a gift to lovebirds, Unity Temple offered free weddings, holy unions, and vow renewals this Valentine’s Day. Three ministers took turns pronouncing husbands and wives, and unifying more than 20 couples.

The invitation stated, “Unity Temple embraces diversity and welcomes people of all faiths, lifestyles, abilities, racial and ethnic backgrounds for this special, once-a-year event.”
