Blow-up doll stands in for groomIf one bride felt lighter than air in her wedding gown, her groom certainly felt like air itself as 19 couples renewed their vows near Columbus.
Sheila Smith's husband, Bob, had to go away on business and couldn't make the Valentine's Day recommitment service at Grove City United Methodist Church. So friends brought a life-size inflatable doll to serve as a stand-in.
They dressed Blow-up Bob in dress pants, a shirt and tie, and taped on a head-shot photo of the real Bob Smith.
His wife was blown away, because she thought she'd only be serving as matron of honor for four of her friends. After Sheila Smith phoned her husband to tell him about his air-filled alter ego, she wiped away tears as she told how he laughed so hard he couldn't speak.

Judge weds couple after sentencing groom for robbery
It wasn't a typical Valentine's Day wedding. For one thing, the groom was in handcuffs. Kevin Felder and Misty Johnson exchanged vows Thursday just minutes after Felder was sentenced to five to 18 years in prison for second-degree robbery. "It's a decision between the two of us. I am sorry for what I did, and I want to be a better man when I come home," said Felder, who wore an orange jumpsuit.Circuit Judge James Mazzone performed the wedding after sentencing Felder. He declined Felder's request to have the handcuffs removed during the ceremony.
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow that," Mazzone said. "You are in custody."
