Valentine's Day Inspires Lofty Nuptials

One hundred couples braved whipping winds and biting temperatures on Valentine's Day to say "I do" at the top of the Empire State Building.

The lucky lovebirds won an online lottery in order to join the group nuptials on Saturday. The group gathered on the building's 86th-floor observation deck. The deck is famous for its role in romantic Hollywood movies such as "Sleepless in Seattle."

Phillip Huynh and Braden Istas were planning a destination wedding in Panama. But the couple from Brooklyn couldn't resist the allure of the sky-high ceremony.

Huynh said it was amazing to get married in the "most iconic building in New York City."
