Bride's Mother, Charged After Wedding Last Year, Misses Another Court Date

The mother facing charges after a wild wedding fight last year has missed another Salem District Court date.

The mother of a bride charged in connection with a wedding fight last year at Danversport Yacht Club missed a court date Friday, reports the Salem News.

Darlene DeIorio of Revere was arrested after the wedding reception last April and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

She was scheduled for a hearing in the case at Salem District Court on Friday but did not show up, the News reported, adding that her attorney told a reporter that DeIorio is "bad with dates." It was not the first time that she allegedly missed a court date, the paper said.

State Troopers from three North Shore barracks joined Danvers Police last spring to help control the situation at the wedding reception, that also included the arrest of an 18-year-old wedding guest on disorderly conduct charges.

DeIorio, the groom's mother, allegedly attacked the bride's mother in a fight that started when the groom's brother was denied a drink at the bar.
