Unique ways to capture memories on your big day

If you are like most couples, you want to capture memories at your wedding. It is even better if there are some special and unique ways to do so.
After all, your wedding day is only one day and you want to cherish those sweet memories forever.
It only makes sense to use all the different and creative ways you can to capture memories at your wedding.
ASK GUESTS TO SHARE THEIR PHOTOS: This is a very simple way to capture memories at your wedding. Your guests will no doubt be taking pictures. Ask them to give you copies of them. They will be photographing from more unique angles than others. They may catch a few little moments you might miss but would love to see photos of.
HAVE AN ADVICE BOX: Having an advice box is a fun thing to do at your wedding. It does a couple of different things for you. It captures who all of your guests were and may capture some that neglected to sign your register. It also is a way for them to share what lessons they have learned about marriage to pass on to you. You can use that advice and also look back on it with fondness in the years to come.
HAVE EVERYONE SIGN SOMETHING YOU CAN DISPLAY: At one wedding, the couple had a picture of themselves set up on an easel. Around the picture was a huge mat that guests could sign and wish them the best. It was just one unique idea that a couple could use for guests to sign. You could choose a plate or platter or any other number of options. It is a nice little extra touch to add in.
GIVE OUT DISPOSABLE CAMERAS: Disposable cameras are very economical and they can be worth every penny. They encourage guests to take photos and leave them for you to develop so you are sure to get the pictures. Even children can capture small moments and their photos could end up being some of your favourite ones. They may capture moments that are seen only through a child's view of life, which can be refreshing. It can also be a lot of fun look through the developed pictures and enjoy the surprises.
JOURNAL THROUGH THE WEDDING PROCESS: This is a very personal way to capture memories at your wedding. No one can capture your thoughts and feelings as you go through planning your wedding. Why not journal about it? You will be so glad that you did this later on. You will always have this unique way to remember your wedding.
ASK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER TO CAPTURE LOTS OF UNPLANNED PHOTOS: Generally, there are a lot of poses that are planned out ahead of time to be taken on your big day. That is a good thing and can help you to get the photos that you want. But you can also have a lot of great photos taken at moments that weren't planned. They may even end up being some of your favourite wedding photos. Ask your photographer to capture the beauty of unplanned photos.

BE FULLY PRESENT: This is another way to capture memories of your special day that only you can do. Be fully present. Take the time to notice how things look, sound and smell. Be quiet within yourself and just soak the beauty of your day in. Memories are best made and best remembered when they mean something to us personally and are our own personal formulations.

Sandra Lee sees wedding bells in her future with Gov. Cuomo

New York's First Girlfriend, celebrity chef Sandra Lee, said she sees wedding bells in her future with Gov. Cuomo.
But it doesn't sound like she'll be preparing a semi-homemade wedding cake just yet.
"We'll get married some day," Lee told the New York Observer. "It's been nine years. We talk about it. It's not like we don't know we're going to do it."
Both Lee and Cuomo have previous failed marriages.
In 2011, she told Vogue magazine that as she walked up the down the aisle, "I remember thinking, it's not too late to run."
But even then, she raised the specter of a lifetime commitment with Cuomo.
"Right now I'm happy being a girlfriend, but someday Andrew and I will get there," she told Vogue. "When his kids say we need to, we will."
Cuomo has three teenage daughters with ex-wife Kerry Kennedy.

Cuomo in his recently-released memoir called Lee, who he met in 2005 at a Hamptons cocktail party. a "godsend."
He described Lee as smart, successful and gorgeous. He called her his "opposite"--a west coast woman with expertise in cooking, entertaining, and decorating.
She was also a businesswoman who had never heard of New York politics, he wrote.
"I quickly fell in love with her," he wrote. "Why she got involved with me I don't know. I was not much of a catch."
The governor also praised her relationship with his three kids. "My children took to her immediately,and as they've grown older, she has been a significant presence in their lives," he wrote. "We have made a family."
Lee assumed a higher-profile role with Cuomo this fall, when she appeared with the governor in a campaign ad and at parades.
“I don’t really have any official responsibilities,” she told the Observer. "He’s very good with me. He says, ‘you know, honey, you can do anything you want, or nothing at all.’ He’s very good about giving me the flexibility and letting me be comfortable in whatever role. And I need a lot of space. I need someone who understands who I am."
While Lee expects to someday marry Cuomo, she made no predictions about whether the couple might ever take up residence at the White House given the widespread belief that the governor holds national aspirations.

"Oh God," she said. "We're not even thinking about that, honey. I have no aspirations. Absolutely not one."

Same-sex couples frequently chuck typical wedding traditions

From a simple backyard barbecue to an extravagant five-star bash, same-sex weddings are all about personal style.
“We wanted to go for an almost-over-the-top thing,” said Scott Meoni-Ridenour, 45, who celebrated his marriage to partner Bill Meoni-Ridenour, 48, at a lavish ceremony at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History recently. “We never expected this to happen in our lifetime, so we wanted to do something big and grand.”
“It was flawless, magical,” said Bill, a local actor.
The Fox Chapel pair leased the museum and invited 135 guests to share their renewed nuptials among dinosaurs, fossils and mummies. Same-sex marriage has been legal in Pennsylvania since May 20, when a federal judge declared the state’s ban on such marriages unconstitutional.
After 11 years together, the couple was tired of waiting for gay marriage to be legalized in Pennsylvania, so they married last year in a small, private ceremony on Fire Island, N.Y.
“We knew we wanted to do something in Pittsburgh to celebrate it,” Scott said. “We decided to renew our vows so our friends and family could be included.”
They had a year to plan the wedding, and the preparation showed. Autumnal colors of gold, burgundy and plum bedecked everything from linens to centerpieces.
“The Great Gatsby came to mind,” said Scott, a managing director of BNY Mellon.
Bill said: “We sat down with the florist and told them we wanted simple elegance and fall colors, and we told him to come up with a plan.”
“And we wanted to make sure that we used gay-friendly vendors who supported the gay community in the past,” said Scott, finishing his husband’s sentence.
Finding supportive vendors is emerging as one of the more important elements in same-sex weddings, said Jamie Miles, editor of TheKnot.com, a wedding website created in 1997.
“Some vendors will refuse service,” Ms. Miles said. “It’s really important to do your research on your vendors before you start working with them. Same-sex friendly vendors will give it their all and showcase their work, while others might be reluctant.”
Public support for gay marriage has swelled considerably in recent years, with 32 states and Washington, D.C., legalizing marriage for same-sex couples. In 11 other states, the issue is wending its way through the courts and is expected to soon bring to 43 the number of states where same sex marriage is legal.
And same-sex weddings are quickly becoming a booming industry. The Williams Institute, a think-tank at the UCLA School of Law, estimates that as much as $492 million in revenue will be generated in California over the next three years, as 37,000 same-sex couples tie the knot, while legalizing gay marriage in New York City resulted in about $259 million in revenue during the first year.
Weddings in general generated $53.4 billion last year, according to the Wedding Report, a research company that tracks the costs associated with weddings.
Same-sex couples frequently chuck typical wedding traditions and instead rely on personal taste to dictate their own traditions, Ms. Miles said. As for it being bad luck to see the bride — or the groom — in their wedding clothes before the ceremony, same-sex couples aren’t buying it, Ms. Miles said.
“Ninety-one percent of them will see the wedding attire in advance,” she said.
Other traditions, such as changing last names, selecting a bridal party or incorporating religion into the wedding ceremony are typically decided by each couple based on their individual wishes. Bill and Scott decided on hypenating and combining their last names because when they were married in New York, state law allowed them to easily change their names on the marriage license, unlike Pennsylvania where courts must be petitioned.
They felt the hypenation was a good compromise, Scott said, to keep their professional names.
Plus, “this was a very visual way of showing our commitment,” Scott said.
The two also tossed typical traditions, like slicing the wedding cake and a large bridal party. Instead, Bill and Scott had two best friends stand by them for the ceremony.
They also called on drag queens and friends to supply the night’s entertainment, with Kierra Darshall coordinating the show and performing as Diana Ross, Divauna Diore as a belly dancer, Blade Matthews as Cher, and Lady Diamond performing a comedy number, “If I can’t sell, I’ll sit on it,” from the show “Black and Blue.”
“We threw away all the traditions,” Scott said. “We just wanted to have a good party and celebrate with our friends.”
Instead of gifts, the couple requested guests contribute to the PPG Zoo and Aquarium, where Bill is a docent. But, they did have a first dance and a toast.
“Everybody was very supportive — we were very lucky,” Scott said. “We really only invited people who we really wanted to have come.”
For couples like Terry Cowden and Karla Bolster, who have raised two children together, the wedding was more of a legality than a change in lifestyle.
“We’ve been together almost 21 years,” said Ms. Cowden, 47. “We were just kind of waiting. I didn’t think it would happen in our lifetime, at least not in Pennsylvania.”
For that reason, the Beechview couple held a commitment ceremony in August 1995 in Massachusetts.
Ms. Cowden’s job as a guidance counselor at Carrick High School provided her family with same-sex family benefits, but the couple still longed to call each other wife.
They were married by Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, along with 18 other couples, on June 15 during Pittsburgh Pride celebrations.
Instead of a lavish reception, the couple opted for a backyard party hosted by their children, Kaela Bolster Blum, 27, and Tyler Cowden Bolster, 15.
“The kids really wanted to do this, and we didn’t want to deprive them of that,” said Ms. Bolster, 48.
Ms. Miles said it’s OK to skip the pomp and circumstance for a simpler celebration.
“Get playful with your details,” she advised. “You don’t have to go strictly traditional with the reception.”
Bill and Scott had a custom cake-topper made with caricatures of them and their three dogs, Mya, Maxx and Mooshy.
The couple said that the most surprising part of the reception was the way it made them feel.
“The cheers went up in the end, and I almost fell down,” Scott said, recalling more than 100 guests observing their vow renewal on the grand staircase in the museum. “It was so heartfelt and wonderful. I still get chills thinking about it.”

“I never realized the strong personal emotion that was behind it until it actually happened,” Bill said. “It took a lot of fighting for us to get married to the person we’ve chosen.”

Why Our Wedding Announcement Would Never Make The New York Times

When I was 28, I received a letter from myself from 10 years prior that I had written as a college assignment. Since I had been a pain in the ass overachiever trying my best to feign a casual vibe, my letter was a mix of shallow observations about what my life was like ("It's awesome living in a dorm!") tempered with exacting lists of what I should have achieved by that point in the future. (No, I was not popular in college. How did you know?)
The list included:
- Write a book
- Move out of my parents' house and into a city
- Get in the New York Times wedding section (with a note that said, "But not till you're 30")
So here I am at 30. That letter, for reasons only a therapist would understand, has haunted me since. I only achieved #2 on the list -- and even then, after five years of city life, I escaped to the suburbs that surrounded the college where that letter was written. I'm engaged, so I kind of fulfilled #3. However, as I look around my cramped 1-bedroom apartment, I could feel my younger self judging me.
Here's the truth: Even though I am in a very happy relationship with someone who is my best friend, we would never, ever, ever make the NYT wedding section. But the obsession with the NYT wedding announcements dates back to even before Carrie Bradshaw called them the "single girl sports pages." To my younger self, trying to form an identity, it was an instructional guide to becoming the "right" sort of adult.
To be listed, you needed to go to the right schools, have the right families or have contributed something to society. Failing that, you have to have a remarkably interesting "how we met" story. (Bonus points if it involved international aid work and/or being 80+.) Failing that, you could make it in there if you had an extremely magnificent or extremely creative wedding.
Here is how we stack up:
We didn't go to the "right" schools.
We first met at a no-name private school whose only claim to fame has been starring in an interior location shot for the musical "Annie." Also, they gave Jon Bon Jovi an honorary doctorate. That's about it.
Our parents are not prominent people.
My grandmother, however, was a member of the TomKats, a Tom Jones appreciation club. She met him once and was so starstruck she could not speak. (A true rarity.) I've been tempted to invite him to the wedding, but I am sure he doesn't remember that life-changing encounter.
We are not people of impressive means.
My fiance has proudly owned a pair of cargo shorts from the Clinton Administration, which he happily wears whenever the temperature reads above 50 degrees. Our wedding budget is not so much a budget but a punchline to whoever we call to ask about booking anything.
We haven't contributed anything lasting to the culture at large.
I've written a series of letters called "Please stop leaving the cabinet doors open." He's responded with "Please stop buying kale, we both know that tastes like sock-flavored cellophane." Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning we are not.
There isn't a touching, heartfelt story behind our union.
We didn't speak to each other for six years because of a misunderstanding around a mutual acquaintance asking me out. Once we did start talking again, we immediately started dating. Done and done.
Our proposal wasn't viral-worthy.
He lead me to a stretch of boardwalk on a misty evening. When he proposed, my stunned response was a mildly alarmed "Are you sure?" I repeated this over and over, while he lost confidence. For a while after that, he wasn't 100 percent sure we were actually engaged. I am very glad this moment wasn't recorded.
In short, we are pretty average, as far as couples go. Our achievements can't be measured in newsprint. But I've accepted that I haven't done the things I thought I'd do when I girlishly wrote that letter. I haven't chosen an "important person," I haven't written a book and while I have been on TV, it was to awkwardly show the world how to clean their carpet with shaving cream. On weekends, I am clad in yoga pants like every other suburban lady, running my errands. It takes the threat of entertaining to get our house to look like adults live there.

It's a really happy life, if a quiet one. Was this what I pictured 12 years ago? No. But then again, my definition of happiness has changed dramatically since then.

Beyoncé Attends Sister Solange's Pre-Wedding Festivities in New Orleans

Beyoncé stepped out Friday night in New Orleans to celebrate sisterSolange Knowles's rumored wedding weekend.
Solange – who is engaged to music video director Alan Ferguson – is reportedly set to tie the knot this weekend, and about 50 family and friends joined the happy couple in NOLA for a pre-wedding bash at the Indywood Cinema.
Solange, 28, and Ferguson, 51, showed a film they made of how they met before playing the movie they saw on their first date:Mahogany, a '70s flick featuring Diana Ross.
"It was pretty adorable," Hayley Sampson, who owns the film house with brother Will, tells PEOPLE. "They were talking about how they met and that they bonded [over] this film and then showed everybody the movie."
As for the bash's treats, partygoers enjoyed daiquiris from local sandwich shop Gene's Po-Boys and drinks mixed by bartenders from the nearby go-to Oxalis.
The ready-to-wed pair have a history with the theater. Ferguson discovered Indywood Cinemas on his own when he saw a documentary and cult film there and then returned with Solange.
The bride-to-be's older sister attended the fête solo. "It was really nice to meet her," Hayley says. "She's a lovely person."
The "Partition" singer stunned in an all-black ensemble with a blue jacket, while her younger sister rocked a cream dress and gold heels, with fiancé Ferguson matching in a beige suit.
The rumored wedding weekend marks a return to New Orleans. Back in January, matriarch Tina held a star-studded 60th birthday soiree in The Big Easy. Then the Knowles clan returned this summer, appearing to have made upfollowing Solange and Jay Z's elevator scuffle in May.
And it sounds like her brother-in-law's absence Friday has nothing to do with bad blood.

"What's important is that my family and I are all good," Solange told Lucky for its August issue.

Same-sex couple rejected by wedding planner. Now what?

Comes now the inevitable story of the wedding planner who is refusing to do business with a same-sex couple.
Crystal Allen and Kenyata White found a one-stop shop for all their wedding needs on the web, 12 News' Brahm Resnik reports that they were all set up for a December wedding in Encanto Park when the owner of the business, Susan Latimer, realized that the couple she was preparing to marry were two women.
So Latimer called off the wedding – or at least her part in making the wedding happen.
"We are very uncomfortable with same-sex marriage as it is directly against our beliefs," she told the couple via email on Monday. "We would not be a very good fit."
Naturally, the couple is disappointed.
Naturally, all eyes are now on the gay community, which recently won the right to legally marry in Arizona. So here's what the gay community should do.
Nothing.
The website is run by a pair of ordained ministers. Al and Susan Latimer have a First Amendment right to say who they want to marry and who they don't want to marry.
This, according to attorney Brendan Mahoney, chairman of the Phoenix Human Relations Commission, a guy who co-wrote the city's LGBT anti-discrimination law.
Undoubtedly, there are plenty of bakers and wedding planners and even ministers in town who stand ready to bake, plan and marry same-sex couples. Plenty of people who will take joy in Crystal and Kenyata's special day, not to mention a tidy profit from their business.
So, go, celebrate and don't play into the hands of those who are itching for a reason to bring back Senate Bill 1062, last year's debacle of a bill that attempted to legalize discrimination in the name of the Lord.
The people who run AffordableWeddingMinistry.com appear to be people who really do have a sincerely held religious belief that gay marriage is wrong. "We believe Jesus loves everyone and the concept he gave is ... Marriage is HOLY and right for one man and one woman," their website says.
Of course, the couple also says they are "non-judgmental." Go figure.
And then go find a business that wants your business. There are plenty of them.
For years, gay couples have correctly asked that they not be forced to live by the moral beliefs of others. That right has now been granted to them, with the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Would they now want to force their moral beliefs upon others?

Can cooler heads and kinder hearts prevail or is it inevitable that Arizona will head down the rocky road of trying to legalize discrimination?

Pictures on set of Coronation Street's most flamboyant wedding yet - 80s style

Beth Tinker is dressed in a Madonna-inspired outfit for her big day and her husband to be Kirk Sutherland as Adam Ant as filming took place in Swinton.
It was 80s fever outside Salford Civic Centre as Coronation Street rolled up to film scenes of an upcoming wedding - with Madonna appearing to marry Adam Ant.
Cast members dressed in flamboyant 80s-style outfits for what is set to be the soap's most outrageous wedding yet between Beth Tinker and Kirk Sutherland.
Beth, played by Lisa George, was dressed in white corset, lace fingerless gloves and netted skirt reminiscent of Madonna's Like a Virgin phase, while her hubby to be, played by Andrew Whyment, was a convincing Adam Ant - complete with leather trousers, white ruffled shirt and even face paint to embody the dandy highwayman.
The cast were causing quite the stir as they transformed Salford's main council offices in Swinton into "Weatherfield Civic Centre" for the registry office wedding, set to be screened on the ITV soap over Christmas.
And the 80s theme continued for Beth's bridesmaids with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie) and Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) all donning retro white dungarees, spots and striped tops and matching lace gloves, hair bows and funky creepers.
Cast were spotted getting out of a green Volkswagen camper van draped in rainbow-coloured ribbons.
Meanwhile other guests at the garish fancy dress wedding included Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) who was dressed in an all-pink ensemble that seemed more 1960s than 80s in style, while Kirk's friend Chesney was also spotted on set.
Groomsmen, Beth's son Craig Tinker (Colston Smith) and Chesney Brown (Sam Astin) looked cool as the Blues Brothers.
Signage outside the Civic Centre had also been altered to reflect the fictional 'Ridgeway Road' register office and a black cab was also decked out in colourful ribbons.
This Morning presenter Sharon Marshall was seen filming for the ITV show and blended right in with her red and black Madonna outfit.
The scenes shot on Tuesday will become Coronation Street's latest dramatic wedding - hot on the heels of the failed nuptials of Tracy Barlow to Rob Donovan.
In that wedding, shot at Cheshire's Capesthorne Hall, the wedding failed to go ahead after Rob was unmasked as the real murderer of Tina McIntyre, and was forced to go on the run as police arrived at the venue.
A distraught Tracy ended up in a scrap with Rob's sister Carla (Alison King) after spending months planning her perfect day in a Bridezilla plotline.

At least Tracy appears to enjoy another big day here - as one of Beth's 80s bridesmaids.

Jessa Duggar responds to rumor she allegedly consummated marriage at reception

According to an alleged wedding guest named Mary B, Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald were caught consummating their marriage at their church reception reports Rob Shuter of naughtygossip.com.
In “My Life As a Stay at Home Wife and Mom,” reported wedding guest Mary B claims that Jessa, 21, and Ben, 19 were busted by Duggar sister Jinger, 20, in an ‘act of lust’ immediately following their vows.
'Multiple people were discussing that when Jinger opened the door to get Jess for the reception, she immediately closed the door with a look of shock on her face,' wrote Mary B.
'I am not sure why they would not wait for the evening to pray and then consummate God's marriage,' she continued.
'This really made me question Ben's headship and leadership skills. I pray he is not swayed to evil. I pray he acts as strong husband and worship leader to Miss Jessa.'
The post has since been deleted
Newlywed Jessa Seewald appears to have responded to the gossip by Instagramming a quote about overcoming evil.
What is certain is that Jessa and Ben did wait until the reception before sharing their first kiss in private. Since their wedding the bride posted a snapshot of the pair smooching alongside the caption, “It’s great living life with your best friend.”

Another non-traditional aspect to the wedding was that there was no wedding cake. “I don’t really like it,” Jessa told People. The pair decided to go with ice cream sundaes instead with a choice of four toppings. The newlyweds left the reception in a horse-drawn carriage as bubbles were blown in the air.

Eight Men Jailed In Egypt Over 'Gay Wedding'

Eight men have been sentenced to three years in prison by a Cairo court after video emerged of them allegedly taking part in a gay wedding ceremony.
The mobile phone footage shows two men exchanging rings during a private boat party on the Nile.
There is a cake and at one point the men are seen embracing while others cheer.
While the ceremony is not legally or religiously binding, in a conservative society where homosexuality is frowned upon, the video - leaked months after the event - has sparked controversy.
Within days of its release, dozens were rounded up by police.
After a short trial, eight of the men in the video were handed jail sentences for "inciting debauchery" and other charges.
A close friend of the men in the video told us the sentencing has sent shockwaves through the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
Kim, which is not his real name, told Sky News: "We are terrified, really terrified.
"To get to the people in the video, the police raided three parties in the space of 48 hours and made arrests. They took people from their homes."
Kim also said there is nowhere safe for homosexuals to meet or even talk now.
"There's no chatting, messaging or online dating. It feels like we are being strangled," he said.
Homosexuality has long been a social taboo in Egypt and it is not the first time the LGBT community has been persecuted.
In 2001, the famous Queen Boat trial saw 52 gay men charged with debauchery and offending religion.
But since President Abdel Fatah al Sisi took power last summer, rights organisations say there has been a sustained and co-ordinated crackdown, with more than 80 homosexuals and transexuals arrested since June last year.
Scott Long, a Cairo-based human rights activist who focuses on LGBT rights, thinks the latest arrests are part of a general crackdown.
He said: "Whether it's young atheists, or long-haired revolutionaries or even guys who sell clothes illegally on the streets downtown, there's an enormous police crackdown on any kind of behaviour the state doesn't like.
"But it's really easy for them to target LGBT people because they're unpopular nobody will stand up to defend them."
In the hours and days after the alleged gay wedding video emerged, the homophobic backlash played out on the airways.
One of the so-called grooms called in to a popular TV station insisting the party was for a birthday and that he is not gay.
But the host mocked him, asking him repeatedly if he was gay and whether he had a girlfriend.
Unlike other countries, Egypt does not have a law explicitly criminalising homosexuality.
Prosecutors use existing laws to do with morality and public decency to arrest those they suspect are from the LGBT community.
They are not the only ones who currently feel targeted as the state increasingly closes in on those who will not conform to its ideals - regardless of whether they pose a threat.

It is a crackdown that often seems to care more about appearances than the truth.

Driver may be charged in fatal wedding day crash

The driver of a pickup involved in a one-vehicle crash Oct. 12 that took the lives of two people, including a groom on his wedding day, could face charges this month.
Wyandot County Sheriff Michael Hetzel said evidence has been presented to the Wyandot County Prosecutor's Office.
"I can't comment on the evidence because it is still an ongoing investigation," Hetzel said. He also would not say whether toxicology test results have been received.
Hetzel said previously that alcohol and speed were both being investigated as possible causes of the crash.
"I am pretty sure the evidence will be presented to the grand jury within the next week to 10 days," Hetzel said.
Timothy N. Tebbe, of rural Nevada, Ohio, was driving a 2014 Dodge Ram quad cab pickup on Oct. 12.
Andrew M. Bloomfield, 27, Galion, died in the crash just hours after saying his vows with Ruth D. Driskill Bloomfield, who was seriously injured in the crash that happened at 4:49 p.m. Oct. 12 in Antrim Township in Wyandot County.
Elizabeth M. Shelton, 26, Bucyrus, was pronounced dead at the scene by Wyandot County Coroner Joseph Sberna. Andrew Bloomfield was taken by medical helicopter to St. Rita's Hospital in Lima, where he later died.
Driskill Bloomfield, 37, also of Galion, and Tebbe were flown to St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima.
Hetzel said the preliminary investigation shows Tebbe was traveling north on Township Highway 135, just north of Township Highway 72, when he lost control of the pickup. The truck traveled off the west side of the road and hit an embankment, which caused the truck to roll. The truck then hit a utility pole and rolled several more times, coming to rest in a cornfield.
Shelton and Bloomfield were thrown from the vehicle. Driskill Bloomfield and Tebbe had to be freed from the vehicle with an extraction device.

Both Driskill Bloomfield and Tebbe have been released from the hospital. A memorial took place two weeks ago in Nevada in honor of the crash victims.
