Becerra shared the thoughts behind the events, \u201cWe don\u2019t build homes, we build communities, and we believe in connecting the communities together. We built the world\u2019s largest sculpture, over 70 feet in Heart in the Park, to make sure the community has a place to unite, share common values. Obviously, we have Valentine\u2019s Day coming up, and they\u2019re able to share beautiful moments with love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group is also teaming up with the St. Lucie County Clerk’s Office to host a group wedding in Tradition. Couples will tie the knot under the 70-foot Heart in the Park sculpture. The ceremony starts at 4 p.m. on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

With the 5K promoting heart health and the wedding ceremony celebrating love, the events perfectly tie together Valentine\u2019s Day spirit and the importance of taking care of your heart \u2014 both physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PORT ST.
