WEST BROOKFIELD, Mass. -- A new marriage is off to a tipsy start after a groom is arrested after attacking a guest at his own wedding reception.

Deric Grendon, 24, of West Brookfield was let go on $100 bail, but he was later re-arrested for violating a restraining order his new bride took out on him after the assault. The charges against him include assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace.

Witnesses say Grendon became violent during the party at of the Knights of Columbus Hall after he saw a guest groping his bride. The groom's mother suffered minor injuries when she tried to break up the ensuing altercation.

Grendon's second arrest came after he approached his wife about getting a divorce.

Classic. Let me guess, he must stay 50 feet from her trailer.

Must have been a short courtship. I wonder if this was the world's second shortest marriage -- after this one: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3103409.stm

I've never understood why people get drunk at their own weddings - don't they want to be able to remember it when their kids ask about it?

Have they no respect for tradition? Do they not understand that's what bridesmaids & groomsmen are for? It's their job to get stinking drunk and make stupid fools of themselves at the reception!

This is nothing. Go to an Irish wedding sometime.

Of course you've heard the one about the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral.
