A bride’s sister was left with a broken nose, while her parents and other guest were hurt in a fight over chicken that got out hand.

The wedding of Ben Smethurst, 26, and Karyssa Smethurst, 28, ended in disaster after the bride’s uncle and groom’s brother started a fight over a piece of chicken.
The wedding of the bride, who is eight months pregnant, and the groom took place at the Caldecott Hall hotel in Fritton near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England.

The fight started when best man Danny Smethurst, 30, cut in front of the line to get a piece of chicken for his son. This upset the bride’s uncle. Curt Hughes, 53, started arguing with the best man about cutting the line.

The groom said the fight began at the buffet table after his brother came to get a piece of chicken for his 11-year-old son.
“Curt thought he was pushing in line, and cursed him. My brother told him there was no need to use that kind of language,” the groom said. The two got into a shouting match, and other wedding guests got involved. The bride’s mother then took her brother Hughes out to the parking lot. Wedding guests then fought in the parking lot outside the reception.

During the fight, the uncle allegedly punched the bride’s sister, knocking her unconscious and gave her black eyes. Krystel Coleman, 29, was left with a broken nose and two black eyes after her uncle Hughes, allegedly punched her in the face.
Ten police vehicles had to be sent to the wedding hall.

The mother of the bride, Liza Coleman, 47, fell to the ground during the fight. The bride’s father, Kevin Coleman, 52, was also punched by the uncle, when he tried to get things under control.
Hughes was arrested at the scene and was charged with assault. He was later released on bail.
