Justice of the peace Jerry Cibley says the fire began at the end of the wedding just as the bride, groom and their wedding party walked down the aisle. He tells the paper he had “just pronounced them husband and wife” and that the couple were devastated about the fire.
Cibley says everyone got out safely, including the 150 or so guests.
The venue’s website says it opened in 1906.
