Something old, something new. Add some wheels and you'll have a roller derby wedding too.
"We met in roller derby. He's a referee and I became a skater," Kristina Brannon, the newlywed skater said.
"We met on skates and when we go out skating is always a part of that," Spencer Brannon, the newlywed skater said.
Usually a bride's wedding day is the happiest day of her life. Add skates and it's even sweeter.
Saturday, Spencer and Kristina Brannon said their " I do's" on skates at Rockit Lanes in Panama City Beach. Kristina's coach officiated the wedding.
And it wouldn't be a roller derby wedding without a few falls.
Friends and family members shared the experience.
"Is this what you imagined for your daughter to get married? Not until the last year or so," Cathy Rynearson, the mother of the bride said.
"It's different but its fun. You know they told us to dress up so I did," Queen Ester Pryor, a roller derby skater said.
"The two rolled into each others lives over a year ago and they knew there was no end in sight. After the wedding, Spencer and Kristina shared their first skate together as husband and wife.
"She roller skated into my life and I didn't want to let her roll on by," Spencer said.
And they hope their roller derby wedding will inspire others to take the plunge on eight wheels. They tell us skates will be involved during their honeymoon.
