Love is in the air -- specifically, in Dallas.

During halftime of the Mavericks-Minnesota Timberwolves game at the American Airlines Center on Monday, a couple exchanged vows and married on the Dallas center logo.

"Reid and Ellyn will now exchange rings as a symbol of love and commitment to each other," the marriage officiant said. "It is the seal of the vows you have just taken to love each other without end."

They then repeated vows said by the marriage officiant before making it official.

"By the power vested in me and with 20,000...as witnesses, it's my delight to declare you husband and wife," the marriage officiant said.

Engagements and proposals have been common throughout sporting events, but the Mavericks said it is the first-ever wedding to take place during an NBA game.
