There appears to be an emerging field of wedding torts and crimes this month. Recently, we saw a lawsuit against a woman who ruined a wedding by announcing that she was sleeping with the groom (hint: she was not the bride). Now, in Naples, Florida, Molly S. Collins (left), 19, is accused of stealing make up gifts for the bridesmaids after a wedding reception while in Tampa Lisa Coker is accused of crashing a wedding with a razor and crowbar — and attacking the wedding party.
Collins is accused of stealing hundreds of dollars worth of make up kits at the wedding reception. She is also accused of lifting one of the wallets of the bridesmaids.
In the meantime, police say that Coker appeared at the wedding reception of her ex-boyfriend with a razor and a crowbar. Assuming that the crowbar was old and the razor new, it was not clear what was borrowed. However, she proceeded to beat people black and blue — putting him in the hospital.
Coker was stopped at the door by the mother of the groom, Gail Hosey, and Coker first attacked her. Hosey succeeded in taking away the crowbar, but a fight ensured and Hosey was slashed on the arm.
She has been charged with aggravated battery.

One can only hope that the people get help. And what do the fans of Dr. Phil, the Iowan who ran to Texas deadbeat have to say?
Its all in the money, One for the Money, Two for the Show, Three to get ready and ….
Coker is definitely “The Wedding Basher”!
Jill:
now that would make a good horror flick.
I wonder if Coker was on Coke…

Bron,
I went to look for a film by that name. I don’t see one yet. It should be made! It would be a wonderful B flick!!
from Eric Taylor’s 1981 Featherbed Records, Shameless Love, the title cut:
Some will call it a love song honey
Lost in the melody lost in the rhyme.
Just another song about love gone funny
heard it before a thousand times.
But it’s shameless love that sings the song.
When it’s all been sung and the music ends
Tears are only salty water
and it’s shameless love again.
Some say love is an outlaw raven,
sun goes down and away he flies
To steal the blind man’s watch and chain
and ask politely for the time.
Shameless love makes a thief out of me.
Catch me, chain me to the prison walls;
I’ll rust the chains with salty water
Shameless love will set me free.
Here’s my heart and all that’s in it.
Some say roses, and some say thorns.
Some say I’m a fool to give it
Crazy as the moon in midnight storm.
It’s shameless love that killed the clown.
Somebody turn that spotlight down
wash his face in salty water
then shameless love abounds.
Wish you’d been the first to love me
Take me to your Texas towered plains.
We could sleep and dream of one another
Far away from the raven’s wings.
And it’s shameless love makes a dreamer out of me;
Shameless love is all I feel;
Tears are only salty water
and dreams are only real.
(repeat first verse)
