With Flamingo headline entertainer Donny Osmond as host, sharing anecdotes about his incredible 30-year marriage to wife Debbie, the iconic Caesars Palace marquee counted down to the momentous event.
The couples were then showered with rose petals as the crowd witnessed this incredible moment, The Forum Shops at Caesars narrates the sequence of events.
The 10 couples hailed from around the country including Fort Wayne, Ind., Austin, Texas, San Diego, Calif., Columbia, Mo., Biscayne Park, Fla. and Las Vegas.
