Seven couples were married by former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman Tuesday as part of the Valentine's Day grand opening of the brand new Mob Museum.
The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement played host to the nuptials of those couples before a large ceremony to open the new museum to the public.
The couples were lucky winners of a contest to renew their vows or formally commit to one another during the Valentine's Day grand opening, museum officials said.
