Brawling bride and groom go to jail

We really couldn't believe it when we first saw this story. A bride and groom got into a brawl on their wedding day - and went to jail still in their wedding attire.A Pittsburgh couple got into a fight after their reception at the Holiday Inn. The groom karate kicked his bride to the floor. A couple of guests from another wedding tried to step in and help, but the bride then turned on the would-be helpers.
The fight went from there - on the hotel's seventh floor - into the elevator and down to the lobby. And then the bride and groom threw metal planters at the helpful couple, causing minor injuries! Even the police called it wild.
This couple had married the month before in the Bahamas and renewed their vows in Pittsburgh in front of 150 guests. They were just checking into their room when the fight started.
The police charged them with numerous infractions and hauled off to jail. The bride left the jail the next morning, still in her wedding gown. The groom, who left separately, was bloody, bruised, and wearing only one shoe. Neither of them would comment to the press.
That's not the way we would recommend starting your honeymoon. We're just saying.
