http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/06/14/hamilton-dominican-republic-jail.html Crazy stuff! This poor groom and his cousin might do exactly the same thing if they had a do-over - his bride was getting caught up in the fight, after all - and it was other tourists that were involved in the fight, not Dominicans. As KatyaNova would probably agree (and your wedding photos are gorgeous, by the way!), this kind of thing definitely doesn't happen every day! Still, I'd be extra careful when travelling to any country that doesn't have the same transparency and opennes that North American legal systems do. One of the risks we take in return for a beautiful destination wedding!
