Not every bride dreams of a flower-studded, white-gowned, church wedding. Karen Fell got married in her running shoes at the Bloomsday starting line. Carrie Olsen (pictured with spouse Cory Munson) wore a black evening gown with a sequined bodice which complemented her groom’s stunning spiky mohawk. And Sheryl Redding wore a traditional gown and elbow-length evening gloves, but chose to be married on a deck overlooking the greens at the Spokane Country Club. These brides have one thing in common: their choice of officiant. They were all married by the Rev. Ralph Fishburn of Ralph’s Regal Weddings. Fishburn is a safety officer for Garco Construction by day, but on many evenings and weekends, he’s Reverend Ralph/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.
