Last we mentioned the Mural Arts Program’s Love Letter Tour, we offered a front row look at Canadian couple Todd and Meaghan’s engagement aboard the Market-Frankford El to the tune of the Penn Glee Club, and the background of Stephen Powers’ Love Letter murals.

Now Mural Arts is dialing things up a notch. They’re looking for one lucky couple to be married by Mayor Michael Nutter on the Love Train, Sunday, February 13th, 2011.

Are you looking for a quintessentially Philadelphia way to celebrate your love? (It is the City of Brotherly Love, after all). Enter to win, by emailing events@muralarts.org: tell the Mural Arts Program why you would be the perfect couple to be married on the Love Train. Attach a video, a photo, a poem…be creative!

For those interested in the tour, sans knot-tying: the Love Train, a one-of-a-kind romantic Valentine’s Weekend experience, has a limited registration of 360 passengers (or 180 couples). It’s an exclusive 5 m.p.h. tour aboard a privately-chartered, festively-decorated, SEPTA El Train to view the Love Letter murals that span from 46th through 63rd Streets around the Market Street corridor. The murals read like love notes from a boy to his unrequited love, in non-sequential messages. The tour departs from (where else?) Love Park.

The Love Train tour and reception will be followed by a screening of the feature film A Love Letter for You, included in the price of the event. The film combines documentary footage of the 50 rooftop murals in West Philadelphia along with a narrative to tell the story of the project.

Tickets for the Love Train can be purchased at 215-685-0754. or online.
