What Not To Do At A Wedding
Proof that love makes you lose your freaking mind:
According the the Chicago Sun-Times, a bride and groom were tasered and arrested during their wedding reception. Yeah, you read that right. It’s a familiar story: bride gets drunk, police are called, couple spends wedding night in jail. Who hasn’t been to one of those?
Here’s my favorite part of the story:
Gallery co-owner Tom Burnison, however, said that, fueled by alcohol, [the reception] got out of control and potentially dangerous, including when a guest heaved a metal lamp into a plate glass window. “Calling the police was a last resort,” Burnison said.
Lamp throwing. That’s usually after the father/daughter dance and before the cutting of the cake, right?
And the couple got in trouble again two days later when the police were called on a noise complaint. The groom enjoyed a second round with a taser. There also was some talk of the groom throwing the bride down the stairs during the incident, but that charge got dropped. ‘Cause thise story isn’t bad enough without adding in some spousal violence.
Seems to me alcohol counseling might be the best gift for these two…and an anger management course for the groom. Just saying.

There have even been worse stories in the Chicagoland area. We have had on the news about grooms being shot and killed by police when fights have broken out. There was once a case of an off duty police office, who was part of the wedding, being shot and I believe killed by another person in the wedding party. Parents of the couple have also had serious altercations where they had to go to the hospital. It’s a major metropolitan city. Things like this happen in all large cities. It’s such a sham that people can’t get along for even these happy occasions.

If anyone hasn’t yet sent a gift, a bailbondsman would be nice.
