TIMES SQUARE — Couples looking to renew their wedding vows on Valentine's Day can head to Times Square Tuesday night for the chance to win a second honeymoon.

A U.S. Coast Guard captain will lead a wedding ceremony at 6 p.m. at the red steps at Duffy Square, the Times Square Alliance said. The event, broadcast live on the American Eagle Times Square Digital Billboard, will give couples a chance to make a compelling case for another honeymoon as part of a contest to win a trip to Antigua.

There will also be a BRIDES "Declare Your Love" Truck parked at Times Square until 5:30 p.m. People can step inside the truck and share stories and lessons of love, which will all be live-streamed on brides.com/love.

For a longer display of love, there is a 10-foot tall glowing sculpture of a heart suspended between glowing LED tubes that will sit in Times Square until Feb. 29. Lovers can also touch a sensor in front of the sculpture to make the heart grow brighter.
