....Chris Sowden, 43, steward at the Harold Club said: "People had been drinking since 2pm. Apparently there was some tension building for an hour or so before it happened...."The bride was devastated. Her dress was ruined, she had a lovely big white gown and it had beer and WKD all over it.
"I was downstairs when it kicked off and had to go up to try and sort it out. I spoke to some guests and they said the pork pie was thrown and it all got out of control.
"The scariest thing was there was a lot of children and they all had to hide in the toilets. By the time the police got here the fight had moved to the car park.

...Speaking at their home in Bradford, Mr Barraclough, 27, said: "We had a brilliant day. It was great and you've got to expect a good punch up at a wedding."
Mrs Barraclough said, 27, said: "It's just funny now. We had a great wedding and it didn't spoil it." ...


It happens all over the world, apparently...!!!

FWIW, "WKD" is a flavored vodka, popular with the binge drinking set.

I thought the attitude of the happy couple at the end of it all was simply hilarious!
