This image taken from Associated Press television shows ahot air balloon with couples about to be wed in Jekabpils, Latvia Sunday Feb. 14, 2016. Latvian couples tied the knot in the air on Valentine’s Day hoping to set a world record in the number of simultaneous weddings in hot air balloons. Fifty couples in 30 balloons rose into the sky Sunday during the Love Cup festival near the southeastern city of Jekabpils, watched by thousands of spectators but the balloons were hitched to cars because it was snowing at the time, impeding them from rising higher than some 15 meters.
