NORTHAMPTON, Pa. - When a groom is arrested at his own wedding, one might assume the marriage is off to a shaky start.

But Willingboro resident Matthew Aimers — facing allegations of assaulting a teen waitress, punching a country club worker, and cursing out police — has the full support of his new spouse, according to his attorney.

That's why the newlyweds were holding hands as they arrived at a Aimers' preliminary hearing on Thursday in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, said attorney Lou Busico.

"These are two young people who are deeply in love with one another," Busico told the Courier-Post on Friday. "Their commitment and deep, deep love for one another have helped them get through these months of allegations and media coverage."

There will be more challenges ahead, as District Judge William Benz found enough evidence to hold Aimers, 31, for trial on all charges, including simple assault, indecent assault, indecent exposure, false imprisonment of a minor and harassment, according to media reports.

Busico said it's too early to decide whether his client would testify at trial, but said Aimers maintains his innocence in the case.

"My client walked in with his wife on his arm. He walked out — she is beside him 100 percent," Busico told reporters outside the hearing. "If that young man committed a crime at his reception, Dr. Phil couldn't fix this marriage. The fact she’s with him tells you he’s an innocent man."

The hearing was held in Bucks County because the alleged crimes occurred during the Nov. 24 wedding reception at a country club there.

Prosecutors closed the courtroom for Aimers' hearing, citing privacy concerns for the alleged victim.

Reporters balked at the decision, and Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub later issued a statement saying the office had "good intentions."

"We had good intentions, but this was an error in judgment. This request was an overreach on our part to accomplish the goal of protecting the victim's identity — a goal we know the press shares in almost all instances. The transparency of the criminal justice process is paramount."

Aimers was charged in Feb. 1 criminal complaint. The details of the alleged assault and brawl at the Northampton Valley Country Club in Richboro, Pennsylvania, were outlined in an affidavit of probable cause.

Police initially responded to the brawl, and learned about the alleged assault during their investigation.

The waitress told police that Aimers approached her during the reception and asked her to go outside and make out. He told her "We can do whatever you want," the affidavit said.

The girl told police she rejected Aimers' advances and returned to work.

Later that night, when the teen was asked to check supplies in the ladies room, Aimers allegedly followed her in and grabbed her by the arm, the affidavit said.

He allegedly pulled the teen into a stall and closed the door, standing between her and the door. The groom then started kissing her and rubbing his fingers on top of her pants, the affidavit said. The girl said Aimers attempted to unbutton her pants, but she grabbed his hands and pulled them away, the affidavit said.

But the alleged assault continued, with the groom exposing himself and rubbing his genitals against her. The girl said he asked, "Can you kiss me like you mean it?" and offered to give her $100, according to the affidavit.

The teen said she was eventually able to push past Aimers and leave the bathroom, authorities said.

Later that night, when the wedding was ending, Aimers was pushing and punching people by the entrance, authorities said. He allegedly ignored police commands to put his hands behind his back, and climbed on a shuttle bus instead, according to the affidavit.

Northampton Township Officer Imran Raza said with his stun gun deployed, he ordered Aimers to get off the bus.

"Aimers did not listen to my commands and was being verbally confrontational towards me," Raza said in the affidavit. "Aimers stated to me he wanted to fight me and continuously called me a p---- and a b----."

When Aimers got off the bus, he struggled with officers but was eventually taken into custody, police said.

Aimers is next scheduled to appear in court for a May 10 arraignment hearing.
