] About 40 people became involved in the brawl and police

Eight towns? Eight? Belmar, Wall, Spring Lake, Avon, Neptune, and the State at least I'm guessing? Geez.

] A bartender working the wedding, Kevin Murday, 27,
] of Belmar said a table was crushed, but the hall did not
] sustain any serious damage. He said the fight had
] ceased, but flared up again when Belmar police arrived.

The Belmar police made a problem worse then it already was? Imagine that.

] "It was a disaster," Murday said. "The bride and groom
] were pretty shocked. They just kind of sat there and stared."

On the honeymoon, I suggest getting as far away from Jersey as possible.

] BELMAR -- A donnybrook erupted at a wedding reception
] Sunday night when a guest became enraged because he
] thought his girlfriend was manhandled during the
] traditional garter belt ritual, police said yesterday.

"Mommy and Daddy, what was your wedding like?"

I caught the bouquet at my girlfriend's wedding reception. The groom's GRANDFATHER caught the garter. My boyfriend just stood there like an ass during the toss. He deliberately did NOT catch the garter because he wanted to take pictures. FUNNY!
