Brawling bride defends husband

PITTSBURGH (AP) - April 30, 2008

Thirty-two-year-old dentist David Wielechowski, of Shaler, and 25-year-old Christa Vattimo married a month ago but repeated their vows Saturday. They were checking into their hotel room when police say they began fighting one another then against two men from a separate weeding party who tried to intervene.

But the bride says in a statement issued by her attorney that her husband did not start a fight with her or anyone else that night. She says she loves her husband and is standing behind him.

The couple spent the night in the Allegheny County Jail in their wedding attire. They still face a preliminary hearing May 7 on simple assault and other charges.
