Weddings are supposed to be a special day for the couple involved. They're the culmination of two peoples' love and commitment. Unfortunately, sometimes the rest of the family has other ideas.

Nobody is quite sure what started the fight, but both sides engaged in a bloody struggle that involved chairs, glassware and kitchen utensils. The aftermath saw two men hospitalized for injuries and one who was assessed for injuries but declined further care. One thingâs for sure: this isnât going to be in any photo albums the bride and groom show their kids somedayâ¦
