Hundreds of couples renew vows in record attempt in Pittsburgh

By Copyright 2008 Associated Press 1 min read

Love is in the air in Pittsburgh. More than 600 couples gathered at the city’s Carnegie Music Hall on Sunday to renew their wedding vows in a ceremony they hoped would break a world record.

A Guinness World Records spokeswoman says the current record of 272 couples was set on Sept. 16, 2007, in Sydney, Australia.

It’s unclear when Guinness will make a determination about the Pittsburgh attempt.

The ceremony was held as part of a series of events commemorating Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary.

Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl presided over the ceremony.
