I just read about this on the ABC and while at first it may seem humourous it really does remind that domestic violence is real.

"A Darwin groom who tried to headbutt and choke his bride in the car ride home from the reception has spent his wedding night in custody, police say.

Police were called after neighbours intervened in a fight between the man and the wife at their home in Fannie Bay that night, Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said.

They found the groom, 29, in his wedding clothes spattered with blood from a bleeding nose.

The man had allegedly thrown the woman, 28, to the ground and kicked her."
