Bridal Brawl Caption Contest!

Arizona bride Angela Davito made sure she had something blue at her wedding…that is, something black and blue. And it was the police officer she kicked right before she was arrested.

The Saturday night backyard wedding went from blissful to all-out-brawl when a melee between guests and bridal party members got so heated that neighbors called the police, complaining of people “killing each other” at the celebration.

Instead of dessert, partygoers topped off the evening with a heaping helping of pepper spray. But even that failed to calm the situation, and the peppery-eyed bride attempted to attack another guest. That’s when the officer who tried to restrain her was rewarded with a wedding wallop — a kick from the bride’s stylin’ cowboy boots!

That’s Angela, above (photos courtesy of ABC Local). Ain’t she purty? These pics were snapped right after Angela was arrested and charged with assault and obstructing governmental operations. Mazel Tov to the happy couple!! What better way to show love for your new wife than by posting her bail on your wedding night??

Now we want to hear your wittiest, silliest, smartest caption ideas for these pics. You can enter as many times as you want, and the Recycled Bride Team will pick our favorite caption to win a $50 Target gift card this Friday, April 1st at 5pm PST. You can leave your captions here in the blog comments, or on our Facebook page. Make us laugh the hardest and the prize is yours!!!

UPDATE - 4/2/11 at 2:45pm PST

AND THE WINNER IS…MARIT!!!!

We loved Marit’s clever caption:

“Ironically, her signature drink was the Alabama Slammer.”

and have awarded her a $50 Target gift card. Thanks all for entering!!!
