A small Saskatchewan village is looking to put Love on the map by becoming a unique wedding destination. The village of Love, northeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, with a population of 72, had for years received letters and requests of lovers looking to tie the knot. The ideas for Love spread and streets were renamed to things like Lover's Lane, Valentine Avenue and Hearts Delight Street. Have you ever been to Love, or even heard of it?

People from all over travelled to the community after Cupid's strike but there was nowhere official to exchange their vows. But now, the Village of Love is fully embracing its name with a new wedding chapel. It will give couples the chance to share their love in Love. The chapel building was an old Canadian Pacific Railway bunkhouse from a nearby town that was donated. It was gutted and refinished. In the steeple is a donated Canadian National Railway bell. The benches, which can seat 50 people, were purchased from a church in Prince Albert, west of the village. The project cost more than $65,000 but the promotion of love in Love is worth every penny. One wedding has already taken place and another is scheduled for May. Their campaign is "Everyone should be in Love". Clever?

Local lore has two origins of the village's name. A young woman was employed in the kitchen at a mill and fell head over heels for one of the workers. A railroad employee spotted the couple and called the community Love Siding. The other story, more likely to be true, is that when the railroad station was established, the first train conductor to come through was Tom Love. Documents show the community was called Love Siding in the 1930s but officially became Love when it was incorporated in 1945. Do you enjoy interesting town or village name origin stories?

Las Vegas is known for its quick and easy marriage process, requiring minimal paperwork, no waiting period, and no need for blood tests (a prevailing requirement in some U.S. jurisdictions). Once the vows are exchanged, the union is legally binding in the country and beyond. Do you know anyone who got married in Vegas?
