I'd say there were issues

That need to be addressed:

HEBRON, Ind. – A woman who wasn't invited to her sister's wedding reception showed up anyway and attacked the bride, pulling out clumps of her hair, police said. Annmarie Bricker, 23, of Valparaiso, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of battery.

Jeremy Glotzbach told police he was hosting a reception for newlyweds Nicholas Landry and Lori Kappes at his home on Jan. 23 when Bricker, Kappes' sister, attacked Kappes on the front porch.

Bricker pulled out clumps of Kappes' hair, struck her head and took the bride to the ground during a struggle, according to the Porter County Sheriff's Department.

Bricker told police she went to the house because she "just wanted to talk" to her sister and parents about family problems. She said she never touched her sister, but five witnesses contradicted her, authorities said. Kappes did not need medical treatment.

Bricker later resigned from her job as a Porter County 911 dispatcher, officials said.

Weddings are supposed to be stressful times, but really....

mental health care is probably too expensive, right? Not covered by insurance? Just guessing.

She was a 911 operator, so she knew how to deal with stressful situations .... Attack!

clumps of hair. Sounds like me and my sis - when we were 8.

Ouch! Never got to the hair-pulling stage, but we did have 'disagreements' that led to socking one another while the other one had hysterics...

It's not a party unless someone ends up in jail or the hospital, or both...

One way to break the ice ... and your limbs. Then you KNOW you had a good time!

I presume the wedding music was by Twisted Sister...

(Ironically, that wiki has the warning, "This article has multiple issues.")

(CAPTCHA text: "antsmead". We used to experience that occasionally at the Renaissance Festival, if we didn't watch our cups closely enough.)

If they were listening to Twisted Sister no wonder they were attacking each other...
