Flying wedding on trapeze at Oklahoma City circus
Bride Alicia Pacian and groom Don Martinez wed midair during the 29th annual India Temple Shrine Circus in Oklahoma City. The ceremony on a swinging trapeze was officiated by Rev. Karl R. Riveheart as dozens watched, with a garter toss triggering a brief scramble. Martinez, 28, and Pacian, 21, met last year and married on opening night, wearing bright costumes amid applause. In a separate incident, two off duty NYPD officers returning from a funeral were involved in a bar fight that left one man dead and another charged with murder in Freeport. Fort Valley Mayor Falke warned Southern Railway over blocked crossings, threatening a bulldozer solution if trains persist.
