Couple’s First Fight Proves Marriage Is No Cakewalk

A bride and groom exchanged vows, rings and, finally, pushes and shoves in a fight over the tradition of feeding wedding cake to each other.

Tracey and John O’Donnell of Bridgeport were arrested last weekend on charges of disturbing the peace during their reception. Tracey O’Donnell told police that her new husband fed her the cake too roughly, after she had told him to take it easy. Fighting ensued when she responded in kind, and someone called authorities, police said.

Tracey O’Donnell was issued a summons at the reception. Her husband, who had left the restaurant, received a summons the next day. They are due in court Sept. 14.
