Pat and Linda Estes (pictured) were re-married December 22 at JP3 by Justice of the Peace Bill Gravell. The Estes were together 16 years, divorced, and decided to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year by tying the knot again. Their story was even featured on FOX News as part of the good news of Christmas!
Judge Gravell officiated at seven weddings in one day, including one couple who had been together 12 years, and another couple tying the knot just prior to the husband’s deployment to Afghanistan.
Judge Gravell said, “It is a season of happiness and I want to focus on the good during Christmas time. It is a great way to finish the year.” With so many ceremonies at once, Judge Gravell wanted to do something special. As he pointed out in the courtroom, “We did not spend any taxpayer money for this. My staff was kind enough to bring decorations from home to make the room festive and warm.” Ceremonies were adorned with twinkle lights, holly and a YouTube video of a crackling fire.
