WBFF Fox 45 :: Locals Make 12.12.12 a Date to Remember
If you like symmetry, this is your kind of day: 12.12.12. Dozens of Midstate families will never forget it. From I do's to special deliveries, this once-in-a-lifetime day is truly one for the record books. When you get married, you want everything to be perfect. Everything lined up just right for Mr. and Mrs. Michael Edwards, who tied the knot at the Bridal Path Wedding Chapel in Donelson on 12.12.12. The Edwards' are one of 7 couples to say "I do" at this chapel Wednesday.

"Numerically lucky numbers," says Wedding Chapel Manager Jane Billingsley. "1 2 1 2 1 2 = 9, so how can you go wrong being married today?"

"Supposed to bring us good luck and actually be the only symbolic day like this we'll see in my lifetime," says groom Michael Edwards.

The folks at Summit Hospital will remember this day for another reason, one family in particular. Melissa Sewell delivered little James Corbin on this day by design. In addition to being easy for dad to remember,r she says the numbers have special meaning for her family.

"They equal to 36, which is my dad's old football number, so I thought that was lucky and kinda cool, so," says new mother Melissa Sewell.

No bride or groom ever wants to forget their anniversary and John and Corinna Fitch figured getting married on a day like this was insurance. They tied the knot outside the Chamber of Commerce Office in Gallatin. They sealed it with a kiss to remember, joining the Edwards' on a walk together that began on a day that will be impossible to forget. Across the country, hundreds of couples tied the knot today. Las Vegas saw 10 times its normal number of weddings. This day will also be remembered as the day Pope Benedict sent his first Tweet.Locals Make 12.12.12 a Date to Remember

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.

The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.

The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.

Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.

In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
