SAN FRANCISCO – Valentine’s Day is special for a lot of couples, but the day of romance is always going to be extra special for Levi and Jolynn Sumeela.<\/p>\n
That’s because the couple got married on Friday, one day before Valentine’s Day at San Francisco City Hall, with Mayor Daniel Lurie presiding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had long planned the wedding, but had no idea the mayor would step in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We’re just so excited he called,” Jolynn Sumeela said, stumbling over her new last name. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The happy couple said their vows and kissed on the picturesque stairs, the gold rotunda high above, as their friends, family \u2013 and press \u2013 watched and cheered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beaming, Jolynn Sumeela said she loves how her husband is so patient and kind to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He always checks on me,” she said.<\/p>\n
And Levi Sumeela loves his wife just as much back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“She always wants to know what I need in the moment, she always wants to know what I want,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mayor presided over two weddings on Friday, and at the end of the day, 55 couples will have wed at City Hall on Friday, according to the mayor’s office.<\/p>\n
The County Clerk\u2019s office issues approximately 25,000 marriage licenses and conducts 8,000 ceremonies annually. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The cost of a marriage license is $127 and the ceremony is another $111.<\/p>\n
