Only hours after her ceremony, a Tennessee bride allegedly pulled a pistol out of her wedding dress, pointed it at the man she had just agreed to spend the rest of her life with, and pulled the trigger.

But there were no bullets inside Kate Prichard’s gun, police say. She allegedly reloaded the chamber and fired a shot into the air, sending guests at a Murfreesboro, Tenn., motel into a frenzy.

“Responding officers let the husband know the honeymoon was over and his new wife was going to jail,” Murfreesboro Police Sgt. Kyle Evans told WTVF.

Prichard was arrested and charged with aggravated domestic assault.

The 25-year-old newlywed was celebrating her marriage at a Clarion Inn motel when she began to argue with her husband, police said. A witness told police that the argument — fuelled by alcohol — quickly escalated outside the motel.

“She pulled out of her wedding dress a 9 mm pistol, pointed it at her new husband’s head and pulled the trigger,” Evans said.
