Police were called to a home in Arizona USA on Saturday night after a fracas was reported at the wedding reception which was being held in the back garden of the property. The police responded to an emergency call from an unknown caller who told the authorities that the group were “killing each other” after a fight erupted amongst the party-goers.

It is not known what caused the fight, however upon arrival at the address, the police found the wedding guests brawling in the backyard and were forced to pepper spray the crowd in an attempt to control the situation.

The local fire department had to treat a number of the wedding guests for pepper spray exposure after the substance was used by the police to try to quell the angry mob.

After the officers fired pepper spray, the wedding guests started to turn on the police and backup had to be called in. 28-year-old bride Angela Davito, then had to be restrained after she was seen charging one of her wedding guests, before kicking a police officer.

The newlywed was restrained by police as a result of her disorderly behaviour and was later arrested on charges of assault and obstructing governmental operations.

Couple win wedding for £51 on EBay

One couple really struck gold after a hotel put a complete wedding package up for sale on EBay following a cancellation. Despite setting aside a maximum of £1,000 for the bid, all it took was a mere £51 to secure the wedding deal.

As part of the bargain nuptials the couple were treated to a red carpet welcome with a Bucks Fizz reception followed by a 3 course meal for 35 guests, a toastmaster and a further evening buffet for 50 guests. And to end the perfect day the newlyweds were treated to a complimentary overnight stay in the hotel’s honeymoon suite.

After contacting the 3 star Buckatree Hall Hotel in Shropshire with a view to booking their wedding there, the hotel’s staff tipped the couple off to the cancellation slot which had just gone up for sale on EBay. Ordinarily a wedding reception at this venue would set you back at least £1,555. Groom-to-be Les Clark had just been made redundant from his Civil Engineering position so their wedding was being conducted on a very tight budget.

As a regular EBay user, Les wasted no time in placing a bid for the wedding reception. The bride, Colette Palin said they jumped at the opportunity saying:”We just thought we would see if we could strike lucky.” And Strike it lucky they did, winning the package for just £51.

And the bargains kept on coming as the 25-year-old bride managed to find the perfect dress with a whopping 50% discount taking the cost down to £450.

The hotel’s manager, Jason Petty, explained that they had the idea of posting cancellation bookings on EBay a while ago, and the lost wedding booking gave them the perfect opportunity to try out their new strategy as he said: “The date came up and we knew we weren’t going to sell it so I thought, let’s go for it.”

The newlywed’s lucky streak shows no signs of stopping either; since they tied the knot Les has found a new job and Colette has revealed she is expecting their first baby in spring of next year.
