Man, that's way better than the entertainment my friends offer at their weddings

From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania comes the story of a newlywed couple who spent the night they renewed their vows in jail, with the bride still in her gown, after fighting with each other and then guests from another wedding:

The fight started Saturday night after a reception when he knocked her to the floor with a karate kick in the seventh-floor hallway of a Holiday Inn, according to police. It escalated when she attacked two guests from another wedding party who came to her aid, police said.

The melee moved to an elevator and then to the lobby, where the couple threw metal planters at the two guests of the other party, causing minor injuries, police charged.

"It was pretty wild," Ross police Sgt. Dave Syska said.

Dentist David W. Wielechowski, 32, of Shaler, and Christa Vattimo, 25, had married a month earlier in the Bahamas but repeated their vows Saturday at a reception for 150 guests. They were checking into their room when the argument began, police said.

Police arrived to find the dentist lying on the lobby floor and his bride screaming, they said.

(Hat tip to reader Charles F., whose favorite part was the description of the groom leaving jail the next morning: "Wielechowski left alone, sporting a swollen eye, tuxedo pants, a bloody T-shirt and one shoe." Yeah, that is pretty great.)
