Love in the air

Jeremy and Marisa Bellomy were married in a hot air balloon live on WCOL 92.3’s “Zuko and Kayla” show Thursday morning. Pastor Randy Scott officiated the service for the couple who have been together for 10 years. The All Ohio Balloon Fest kicked off Thursday night with a performance by Aaron Lewis. The event continues tonight with featured entertainment by Jefferson Starship and will conclude on Saturday with various regional musical acts. Balloon launches and glows are scheduled for each night of the event, weather permitting.
