A modern-day Romeo and Juliet are on their honey-moon trying to make good on their vows after barely surviving their North Shore wedding from hell, which ended in a bruising brawl and two busts — including the groom’s mother.
“They’re in love. They’re doing everything in their power to make it work,” busted mom Darlene DeIorio, 45, told the Herald last night though tears. “I’m going to be there for them no matter what. My heart is so broken. I’m sad for them.”
The Saturday night nuptials between Anthony DeIorio-Weiner and Nancy Guido at the Danversport Yacht Club ballroom — which featured more than 250 guests — erupted into mayhem after the groom’s two younger brothers were denied booze at the bar, according to a police report.
This service slight somehow incensed DeIorio-Weiner, 25, who punched a wall and began tearing apart the coatroom after someone from the bride’s side of the family told him to calm down.
When the bride’s brother approached DeIorio-Weiner, the groom punched him and the pair were soon tussling on the floor, police say.
Danvers cops showed up and found a surreal scene: Wedding guests yelling, screaming and rolling around on the ground in a pig pile. At one point, police said, the groom’s mother, Darlene, attacked the bride’s mom.
The two were separated and Darlene was escorted outside — only to return to the scene of the marital mayhem. This time, police said, she threw a chair across the room and began punching another woman.
Darlene’s version of the story is a bit different. It was all about disrespect, she said. According to her, the whole kerfuffle began when the bride’s mother began yelling at Darlene’s 70-year-old mother and waving her finger in her face.
Darlene insists she was only defending her mom and her family’s good name. How could that be assault? As the fighting escalated, Darlene claims she went to leave but was insulted by her ex-boyfriend’s galpal, who told her she was no lady.
Police again intervened, and after Darlene put up some stiff resistance, she was led away in cuffs.
On the way to the station, police said, Darlene turned her wrath on them and said some pretty hurtful things about one of the officer’s mothers.
“I could have done things differently or better,” said a repentant Darlene, who pleaded not guilty to disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in court Monday. “There should have been many arrested. The incident was unfair. It’s an embarrassment to the bride and groom.”
Meanwhile, her son Anthony and new daughter-in-law Nancy are off in the Dominican Republic, enjoying their honeymoon.
Or so Darlene hopes.
“I apologize,” she said last night. “I pray to God that everything works out for the best and I pray that love prevails. I really do. It was supposed to be two families becoming one.”
The DeIorios and the Guidos.
Yeah a couple Revere places were gangster faves and I think
the owner of one of them got shot by Martorano and Whitey.

This photo was taken in 1950, when Castucci, right, was 21. He later became a bookie and the owner of the Ebb Tide in Revere, and in 1976, now-imprisoned FBI agent Zip Connolly told Whitey that Castucci had become an FBI informant and had told the feds the whereabouts of fugitive Winter Hill gangster Joe MacDonald. Whitey was so angry he decided to start betting football games with Castucci. As long as Whitey was ahead, Castucci lived. Finally, Whitey went into the red, and Castucci went into the trunk of his Cadillac after being shot in the head.
Gee, I wonder if alcohol might have contributed to the extracurricular festivities?
I knew a guy who started a fistfight at his own wedding. Yes, he liked to drink a little.
Wedding bash ends in cuffs....WOW! One of mine did too, kinky little sl*t.
They must be democrats.
At my wedding, I want everyone to be naked and rolling around in a pig pile.
And rutting. I want an orgy at my wedding.
Well, more of an orgy-buffet. First come, first served.
Italians.
In my neck of the woods we got a minor league team, the Hudson Vly Renegades, their mascot happens to be a raccoon.
Interesting. My lovely has similar ancestory, plus she has some of the Blarney and a couple of her great-grandparents came over from Sweden. So I deal with her Irish temper and the Nordic warrior princess thing ;)
Lovely wife
Yup, and I used to have one of their T shirts—the raccoon over a pair of crossed bats. I was actually in the gift shop of a NY-Penn League team in Burlington VT and they had the shirt (this was yrs ago)
