PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A Pennsylvania couple who ended up spending their wedding night in jail say they were drunk and joking around when they inadvertently started a fight with hotel guests.

David and Christa Wielechowski said in an interview broadcast Monday on WPXI-TV that the headlines and media attention over the brawl has damaged their reputation and possibly even their fledgling dental practice; David Wielechowski is a dentist and his wife is one of his assistants.

The Wielechowskis are accused of assaulting other hotel guests and throwing metal planters in the lobby of a Holiday Inn in suburban Pittsburgh on April 27. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 28.

The couple insist they are victims.
