Clash of the Brides

bridewarsDeputies stopped by a McDonald’s on West Ken Caryl Avenue to hear from a woman who said she was assaulted. According to her statement, the woman had been at a holiday costume party at a swinging club on West Chatfield Avenue and, with a mania for appropriateness, had gone dressed as a bride. Alas, two other women had come to the soiree dressed as brides and one of them was unnaturally cross about it. When the complainant’s bridal train became entangled in a fan, she and the false bride exchanged words and the other woman began pulling on her veil, which was attached to a wig, the loss of which would have been “utterly embarrassing.” As it was, her attacker managed to remove the veil only, which she physically disrespected into rags and tatters. The complainant then threw water on her enemy, who promised her she’d “be dead in the parking lot.” The blushing bride wanted the incident documented in case her presumably chaste antagonist decided to make good on the threat.
