New bride arrested for biting, beating her husband hours after wedding (Florida)

Looks like the honeymoon's over.

A 30-year-old Florida woman was arrested just hours after her wedding for beating and biting her new husband, cops said.

Bernadette Catan-Keeler, 30, was charged with domestic violence battery Sunday after her new hubby told police she attacked him at a hotel and then later at their home in Lighthouse Point, Fla, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The two were celebrating their nuptials at a Ft. Lauderdale club Saturday night when Mike Keeler said he spotted his new bride dancing with another man, the newspaper reported. ............(more)

A cousin...it lasted 3 months.

Patty Dukes's second marriage lasted 13 days.

This one may be shorter than that...

and personal friend of the family. three hours.

About seven days later, I came back with the proofs. They were already living in separate apartments. My friend just asked how much he owed me and tossed the proofs out.

the groom decided he was in love with one of the bridesmaids, he left with her instead of the bride.

There's a movie plot there, maybe starring Nia Vardalos, or maybe a plot like the marriage scene from "Dr. T and the Women"

truly. I would have LOVED to have been there. :-D

:rofl:

posted in wrong place...

dangerous...

Years ago, I had a gf who liked to horribly scratch my arms just out of the blue. She was nuts...actually, insane!

I'd steer clear of dating her, much less marrying her.

I don't see this lasting more than a few months, tops.

Good for him; I wish him well.

wife. At first I didn't believe him until he started rolling up his sleeves and pantslegs, showing me numerous "injuries" over the years. He was hit with hammers, cut with knives, iron pans, etc.etc. etc.

Once she literally beat him almost to death right outside the courthouse after a hearing.

I didn't know until then that there is a population that exists like this. It's not spoken about much and is kept in the dark.

women aren't violent.

At least that's what I'm told around here.

I taught 3rd grade for 20 years and 5th grade for four years. I have told me male students don't fight girls because girls don't fight fair. (Of course, I did discourage violence of any kind.)

She actually had to have a marriage counselor tell her that it was not OK to hit me.

:crazy:

Self-esteem issues that won't quit.

their reception. They were married for less than a year. There was also a fight at the bar because someone was upset that it was a cash bar,it was the weirdest wedding I ever attended,it ended with the police showing up.

I used to work with a guy and he got married
That night they were getting ready for bed and the bride said

'You are not sticking that thing in me'

He went and got the marriage annulled
Never had sex before the marriage it seems

weirdest frigging two days of my life. I knew there was trouble the next day at breakfast...he was catting around so to speak within a few weeks afterwards.

they live in separate parts of the same house...she was my gf's roommate..

Or....why would you marry someone you knew only a few days? (Stupid question, I know).

Are you going to tell some AIDS jokes next?




But I guess it's easy to be funny to yourself when you aren't bleeding.

dontcha know!

I used to work in family court. I've seen it all. The one that stands out is the woman who came in to get a divorce/annulment. Se didn't know she was married. She was going through some old papers and found a wedding certificate from Las Vegas. Then, she remembered that she was at a party there one night years ago, got drunk, and she and some guy at the party went out and got married as a joke. Unfortunately, the marriage was still perfectly legal.

She had no idea who or where the guy was. So, she had to go through hell to finally get it annulled because she couldn't serve papers on him. It cost her a few bucks.

We were standing next to each other at a wedding reception for a second cousin once removed of mine.

The couple split up in four months. The bride went back home to her mother.

It's so low class and disgusting.

If a groom did that to me, the divorce papers would be served the next day.

page with that one - horribly, horribly stupid 'tradition' and I wince every time I see it...

As long as it's not a nudist Jewish wedding.

I'd probably use plastic glassware to get rid of that one.

and he was completely happy to oblige.
We just celebrated 6 years. Mostly happy, but not always.

she turned and left the room followed by her parents. Marriage didn't last a year, I'm surprised it lasted past the reception. Really doing that shows such a lack of respect, it just seems to not bode well at all.

Mutual respect (unless the relationship is based on some master/slave thing or something.)

He explained to me that the custom of feeding each other cake is symbolic of the promise to nourish each one the other. So sweet. But smashed cake is

funny.


yea, funny. haha

And it is all too common

That's what I'm told around here.

I'd be interested to see who says that it NEVER happens.

:shrug:

some don't think it happens, and will argue the point.

:shrug:

but here you go

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=901856&mesg_id=901856

faster then everyone I know. I couldn't even get through a post that long in the amount of time you said you didn't see it. Sometimes it takes reading the entire thing.

No one made that claim.

sarcasm and hyperbole in "it never happens"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=901856&mesg_id=901856

Who says it never happens? I can't think of too many instances where I've ever heard anyone say that. I do know that it's a frequent misconception of some that feminists think that, though.

I'll do it again

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=901856&mesg_id=901856

One person is saying that a little bruise does not equate to broken bones, so it doesn't happen.

and I read faster then everyone I know. You're skimming the headlines.

I'm not going to do it.

But anyway, doing some more reading of that thread and going down memory lane. Still not seeing it, but then again I wouldn't expect that I would.

"comparing throwing dishes to rape and murder"

have a go at it.

If I said something that happens to men doesn't matter because women get it worse, how do you read that?

And really. People don't always say what they mean? Well, hell. The internet is your very own persona Rorschach test, then. You want feminists to be nothing but mouth breathing man haters? Easy peasy. Just interpret everything they say to mean that. They're saying X when they really mean Y. Again. Convenient. Which is pretty much what I've always suspected. This isn't the first time someone's claimed that a thread or post is proof that such and such group always says X, and the thread or post does no such thing.

You want feminists to be nothing but mouth breathing man haters?

never said that, never went there. you did. you seem to have your own thoughts about the entire thing and are blind to anything else.

All I ever said was some think it never happens, and I was being sarcastic and hyperbolic at the same time, which again, you didn't seem to understand.

More to the point, there were people there who would post studies about female on male violence and the response would be a post of statics about male on female violence, about how men murder and rape women. That there's is no way men are ashamed to report it, so it female on male violence doesn't happen enough for it to matter.

I direct you to post 127, since I know how blind you are. For that matter, you should read through the thread. But of course, you participated in the thread, so you know all about it.

Well. It's a big old world. Look hard enough and I'm sure you can find people with some pretty crazy opinions, I'm sure. But if you make the assertion that there are a significant number who think it never happens on DU, which is certainly what one would think you were asserting with that "hyperbole", then expect to be called on it. ETA oh, and what of post 127? All I see is someone pointing out the flaws of a study :shrug:

I can see that some may minimize it, may (for whatever reason) think that female-on-male violence is rarer than it is in reality.

But I can't imagine someone saying "it never happens".

It's good to know no one ever has said so to you.

I have seen studies that gender split for the aggressor is pretty close to 50-50. When I have brought that up previously, it was not discussed rationally

Cough up some links, eh?

and refuse to use the tools available to you.

And it's up to you if you'd like us to improve on the high standard of scholarship you have chosen to establish here -- "I've seen studies," no citation.

You must be a professor of everything!

http://www.oregoncounseling.org/Handouts/DomesticViolenceMen.htm and http://www.menstuff.org/issues/byissue/dvstatistics.html show up in Google, there are lots of other examples. The real issue is not the specific numbers it is how they are derived, and to that there is some well deserved criticism towards both sides.

Here is an attack article out of what is now Slate against the men as victims too perspective: http://www.doublex.com/section/news-politics/mens-rights-groups-have-become-frighteningly-effective . Here is response to it http://www.forbes.com/2009/11/19/mens-rights-feminism-equality-violence-opinions-contributors-cathy-young.html At times their seems to be more name calling than discourse.


FWIW, my quip was just to point out what happens when you question the orthodoxy...the status quo people, even so called progressive ones, get very upset. The Pink Pistols are a similar case in point.

comforting

other than the biting and beating thing of course.

but she looks like she might have some Cuban in her. I used to know a Cuban woman who WANTED to be bitten, especially on her lips while kissing. Coincidence? Cultural mating ritual? I was certainly surprised at a woman wanting that.
