PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A newlywed couple spent the night in separate jail cells -- she in her wedding gown -- after police said they brawled with each other, then members of another wedding party, at a suburban Pittsburgh hotel.
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.Authorities charged them both with simple assault, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, and the bride with an additional count of public intoxication. They face a May 7 preliminary hearing.
A district judge considered issuing a restraining order against Wielechowski, but his new bride declined the measure.
The couple declined comment upon their release Sunday morning.
She left with her father, still dressed in her white gown.
Wielechowski left alone, sporting a swollen eye, tuxedo pants, a bloody T-shirt and one shoe. E-mail to a friend

Nah, I wasn't present but someone forwarded me this story asking if I was there too, haha.
I've been to many weddings where fights have broken out though for some reason; I've never personally fought anyone at a wedding ... that seems like the last place in the world where something like that should happen.
Granted they were back in Pittsburgh after being in the Bahamas and it was like 40 degrees again here and gloomy. Probably didn't take much to set them off, haha.

Judging by her myspace quote and what she replaced her Private message with I'd say she's a rager.

TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Monday, April 28, 2008A man attempting to sell his boat for $33,000 came away feeling like a million-dollar action movie hero Sunday after he and two passengers escaped serious injury when the boat jumped an Allegheny River dam.
Retired state trooper Roger Hruby said he and his son Santo allowed an interested buyer to test drive a 2002 Sea Ray Sundeck sport boat named "Blue line" on the river about 1:30 p.m.
Headed downriver, the Hrubys were explaining the boat's control levers to the driver when they unexpectedly saw the Lock and Dam No. 2 under the Highland Park Bridge.
Propelled by a 320-horsepower twin-prop engine, the boat was moving about 35 mph when it soared off the 12-foot dam. It hit the water square and upright, Hruby said, and no one fell out.

"I feel like Bruce Willis in a movie," Hruby said, referring to the Hollywood star's role in 1993's "Striking Distance," which had a climactic river chase complete with a 50-foot jump over the Natrona Dam, upriver on the Allegheny.
Hruby, of Dravosburg, said he usually boats on the Monongahela River near McKeesport instead of on the Allegheny. He said buoys warning boaters of the dam were not out yet. The three had been on the river about a half-hour before reaching the dam, Hruby said.
While he banged his cheek near his right eye, Hruby didn't lose his green flip-flops. He fell to the boat floor to brace himself, he said. He never felt the engine's propeller hit the dam.
Santo Hruby son was transported to UPMC Presbyterian, Oakland, with a fractured tailbone, his father said. The driver, who was not identified, was uninjured.
The 24-foot boat seemed intact, and Pittsburgh River Rescue officials were able to drive it to a Sharpsburg boat dock.
"Wow, that was crazy to come through unscathed," Hruby said.
Later he added: "I wish we could hit the lottery like that."
James Holman, district chief of the city's Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, said the boaters were lucky to avoid serious injuries.
In September, two men drove a speedboat over the dam but were uninjured. Two people died when a pleasure boat went over the dam in 2006.
