Wedding Bell Blues
Somehow, one just gets the feeling that this marriage is not exactly made in Heaven. A woman spent her wedding weekend in a jail cell after beating her newly-minted groom. Over the head. With a stiletto-heeled shoe.
LONDON - Scottish bride Teresa Brown's dream of a perfect wedding day probably did not include attacking the groom with her stiletto shoe and spending the weekend in a cell.
Police arrested the 33-year-old in the couple's hotel room in April while her wedding reception continued downstairs, prosecutor Alan Townsend said Tuesday at Aberdeen Sheriff Court. She spent the rest of her wedding weekend in a cell.
The distraught groom, Mark Allerton, 40, staggered to the front desk, clutching a bloody towel to his head, Townsend said.
"He indicated that his wife had struck him over the head with a stiletto heel," the prosecutor said.
Police found Brown, a real estate agent's assistant, sitting on the hotel room bed, surrounded by broken glass.
Brown told police she and her husband had "been accusing each other of different things," the prosecutor said, without going into details. Brown said she hit him on the head because he had taken a hold of her, he added.
The couple is in counseling. We should, however, look on the bright side. Being as the bride was from Scotland, this could have been a lot worse. There could have been a claymore involved…..

She was just beating on the wrong guy. I knew a fellow who was attacked in a bar by a small time hoodlum. His date gave a good account of herself in the resulting brawl by swinging a high heeled shoe. The hoodlum later ended up in the hospital with most of his fingers stomped and broken, strange to say. This went down in Chicago.
