PITTSBURGH, April 28 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania couple are facing criminal charges after their wedding night bliss turned into a hotel brawl, police said.

Dr. David M. Wielechowski, 32, a dentist, and his new wife, Christa, 25, are each facing charges of simple assault, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct after a mass fight broke out Saturday in the Holiday Inn in Ross Township, Pa., the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday.

It is reported the bride faces an additional charge of public intoxication. The newlyweds reportedly were arrested and spent the night in the Allegheny County Jail.

The couple allegedly began arguing, prompting the groom to use "a karate-style kick with his leg to kick his bride, knocking her to the floor."

But authorities said the couple then teamed up to fight off hotel patrons who came to rescue the bride when they heard her cries and joined the melee.

The Wielechowskis were released Sunday and are to appear at a May 7 preliminary hearing in Allegheny County, the Post-Gazette reported.
