A train derailed near the Poinsett and Craighead county line from strong storms that tore through north Arkansas on Thursday.

WATERVILLE, Maine-A Maine couple decided to get nice and muddy for their wedding day.

The Morning Sentinel reports Bill Jackson and Jennifer Denis took part in Thomas College's annual Dirty Dog Mud Race in Waterville on April 15, with Denis wearing a white veil and Jackson in a tuxedo T-shirt.

The couple ran through a series of muddy obstacle courses together, and Denis' sister carried a bouquet while running the race as a bridesmaid.

The couple said their vows in front of friends and family at the finish line, sliding rings on each other's muddy fingers.

They capped the event with a dirt pie-inspired wedding cake complete with crumbled cookies and gummy worms on top.

Jackson said they planned to honeymoon in Ireland.
