Love, (Bam!) honor (Pow!) and obey (Wham!): Wedding night brawl lands couple in jail
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | April 28, 2008 | Karen Kane

On Saturday, they were exchanging their wedding vows. But soon, they were exchanging blows -- with each other as well as with members of another wedding party.

"It was pretty wild," said Ross police Sgt. Dave Syska of a post-wedding brawl that landed a bride and groom in the Allegheny County Jail on their wedding night and left two good Samaritans with injuries.

Dr. David M. Wielechowski, 32, of Shaler, a dentist, and his bride, the former Christa Vattimo, 25, each were charged with simple assault, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. She also was charged with public drunkenness.

According to a criminal complaint, the Wielechowskis had just checked into the Holiday Inn-McKnight Road in Ross and were ready to enter their room on the seventh floor when they began arguing.

Dr. Wielechowski "then used a karate-style kick with his leg to kick Christa, knocking her to the floor," the complaint reads.

Sounds like a real stormy romance.

Can’t have been that bad, the dress is in one piece.

Did the groom get the worst of it?

Having a drink at your wedding is great.
Drunk at your wedding leads to this.

And it wasn’t even the wedding. It was a reception a month later.

Good news for the guys who thought they were helping an innocent woman! The guy is a Dentist.....I hope they file a civil suit for damages.

How long you think this couple will last before she sues for divorce because she claims he is abusive?

It sounds like she can dish the abuse out herself pretty well, considering he kicked her hard enough to knock her down and she still got up and started brawling with bystanders.

I agree - I just think she will fight with him and then claim HE is the abusive one.

“Did the groom get the worst of it?”

from the article......

Dr. Wielechowski, whose left eye was blackened and swollen shut. He was arraigned wearing tuxedo pants, a bloodied T-shirt and one shoe.

I figure it started over her not being able to spell his last name, " Wielechowski ". LOL

“Police said both Dr. and Mrs. Wielechowski punched and wrestled with the rescuers, who were left with injuries that included cuts, a tooth knocked out and a possibly broken thumb.”.....

Did the good doctor offer a discount to repair the knocked out tooth?...
