A region in central Italy says it will offer couples a 2,000 euro, or around $2,230, cash reward to spend on their weddings if they get married in the area. Lazio is the second most populated region of Italy and includes the country's capital, Rome, according to the official tourism board.

A statement on the region's official website outlining its new wedding fund, titled "Nel Lazio con amore," or "From Lazio with Love," says that it began to accept applications on Monday. It will continue to welcome them until January 31, 2023, or until the fund runs out.
