Mayor Erik Arroyo to Perform Vow Renewals For Two Couples At Fresh Fridays Event

Things To Do

As February approaches, the Fresh Fridays team is excited to share updates to its “LOVE IN THE AIR” event taking place at Selby Five Points Park from 7-10 p.m. on Friday, February 4th. The love-themed programming promises to generate memorable moments, kicking off with vow renewals for two couples before an all-out celebration of love for any and all guests.

The special guests for vow renewals include two heart-warming stories that exemplify the city’s reputation as a dream to live in. Peter and Carol Ferranti met and married in Sarasota before their careers took them elsewhere. Carol was even the baby of the year at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in 1965, and the two moved back to Sarasota in January of 2021. Peter works for the City of Sarasota. Carol works for the Department of Health for Sarasota County, helping to keep our region safe and healthy. As they approach their 28th wedding anniversary, the married pair want to reaffirm on a grand stage that they’d do it all again. David and Lisa Franco have lived in Sarasota for four years, hailing from Connecticut before moving to “heaven in Sarasota,” says David. The married pair enjoy everything the city has to offer, including the food scene, Burns Court Cinema, the opera, theatres, and beaches. But most of all, they enjoy Sarasota’s world-class weather, which allows them to use their first-ever swimming pool and life on the sea. “People who visit us think we are the luckiest Americans alive,” says David.
