Todd Davis, 24, helps bride Sara Pereira, 22, cross the slushy street Wednesday after they wed at the Marriage Bureau on Worth St.

The schools and courts were closed, but the city Marriage Bureau was happily open Wednesday.

Couple after couple came in out of the snow to prove true love still reigns supreme in this age of skeevy scandals.

"Neither rain nor sleet nor snow," said 29-year-old Anna Jane Grossman. "Our love will never end."

She and 37-year-old Jesus Diaz had called 311 to ensure the office was open before riding the subway in from Williamsburg.

"He almost got cold feet, but I gave him thick socks," she said.

The newlyweds set off for brunch, only sunnier in the face of the winter storm. Another couple actually chose yesterday to get married because of the weather.

"Snow is a lucky sign," said Li Cheng. "Plus we don't have to go to work. ..."

She and Dylan Silick finalized their plans late Tuesday night, checking with 311.

"Now we have to make money to raise a family," she said after the ceremony.

She changed from high heels to boots before venturing back outside. Somebody said they should have brought rice.

"We have snow," Silick said.

Back at the twin chapels, a city official was presiding at the marriage of 29-year-old Dasha Oganezov and 27-year-old Vadim Korol, who chose that day because it was the fourth anniversary of their meeting.

The official, Blanca Martinez, has performed more than 70,000 marriages, 22 yesterday as of noon. She still manages to make each one seem as special as it is.

"You may kiss the bride," Martinez said at the end.

Korol needed no encouragement. He seemed as happy as any guy could be in any weather.

"She's a steal," he said of his new bride.

"Does that mean I'm on sale?" she teased.

"Not any more," he said.

As they prepared to head off into the snow, the bride donned a white fur hat.

"This is my veil," she said. "And it's warm."

Another couple, 22-year-old Sara Pereira and 24-year-old Todd Davis, had also chosen the day as the fourth anniversary of their relationship.

Pereira looked very much the bride in a flowing dress and high heels. Her "something borrowed" was a white stole of her mother's that she donned before stepping outside with her groom.

"We're going to Central Park for pictures," she said.

Their marriage encountered its first challenge in the form of a mass of slush at the corner of Centre St. and Worth St.

"Pick her up and carry her!" cried one of the wedding party.

Davis swept his bride up in his arms.

"I never thought Centre St. would be the threshold."

The groom's father, Wendell Davis, watched his son carry her across the slush.

"You never seen a wedding like this before, have you?" the father asked.
