PULASKI CO., Va. – A Pulaski County couple renewed their wedding vows this weekend at LewisGale Hospital Pulaski Chapel, the same hospital where they were married 50 years ago.
Ricky and Debby Dishon had their wedding in March 1976 after their pastor became ill and was hospitalized. Officials say the pastor left his room in his pajamas and robe to officiate the couple’s ceremony in the hospital chapel.
