Denver police are searching for a man accused of unleashing a pit bull mix on a bride at her wedding reception and then beating her with brass knuckles.

"The whole time he just stood there and laughed," the 22-year-old bride, Brittany Cortez, said of her alleged attacker, Joel Nevarez, a troubled childhood friend who has been in and out of mental hospitals.

"He let that dog drag me around the street like a rag doll," the bride said. "He punched me in the face and the back of the head with brass knuckles."

...

Nevarez may have fled to Mexico, where his mother lives.

Consider me unsurprised...

I remember at my wedding, my bride was adamant about me not carrying a gun in the church (odd since she was very pro-gun normally and a very good shot). I acceded to the request. Of course my Best Man and Groomsman were both packing.

Good back-up strategery, drb!

Where was the groom?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I have a shelter dog I adopted. Various people have tried to tell me that she’s a pit bull mix. I honestly have no idea, but she is the gentlest, sweetest dog you’d ever want to meet.

I don’t know where the were, but today, they should be tracking down the dog man.

[Jean2]

Which to me beg the question. Where WAS the groom?

Oops:

I don’t know where they were, but today, they should be tracking down the dog man.

Given his troubled history, the bride admitted she reluctantly invited Nevarez to the wedding. "I invited him to the wedding because I was afraid if I didn't, he would do something worse," she said.

FACE PALM

Lesbien wedding? No groom.

[Nevermore]

Nevarez may have fled to Mexico, where his mother lives.

Sorry, Barry: that's one less vote for you in November.

So is our Jackie. The shelter thought she’s pit/Dalmatian or pit/Greyhound. She’s a big baby. :-)

Just another frustrated “Dreamer.” Ain’t diversity wonderful?

[bgill]

Where was the rest of the wedding party that allowed this to happen?

[EggsAckley]

It helps to read more than the first two lines of the article.

Just another poor person from Mexico who crossed the border for a better life. Isn’t that what we’re told? Nothing to see here......move along.

[Renderofveils]

Who?

Apologies. I was referencing the beginning of the movie Tombstone, where the Cowboys shot up a Mexican wedding.

[AppyPappy]

but she is the gentlest, sweetest dog you’d ever want to meet. That's the way they are.....before.
