Another wedding melee: bride's father, brother stabbed over slow cake-cutting

RAYMOND, Ohio -- A man who was growing impatient about the cake-cutting at a wedding reception allegedly stabbed the bride's father and brother Saturday afternoon.

Eric D. Adams, the bride's stepfather, was taken into custody without incident after the stabbing at the Liberty Township Community Center, according to the Union County Sheriff's Office.


Rick Diamond Sr., 45, was in serious but stable condition at The Ohio State University Medical Center, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. His son, Rick Diamond Jr., 18, was released from the hospital on Sunday.

"It was beautiful until something happened in the parking lot, and my dad and my brother got stabbed four or five times each," said Lisa Siders, Rick Diamond Sr.'s daughter.

"I came running out and saw my dad, and blood was dripping everywhere," said Jessica Diamond.

After the stabbing, investigators said, Adams, 36, of Plain City, allegedly rammed his car to get out of the community center's parking lot. He drove through grass and away from the reception.

Witnesses saw the car leave the community center and stopped Adams, investigators said. Adams' wife, who is the bride's mother, and an 8-year-old granddaughter were also in the car, Tate reported.


Adams was charged with two counts of felonious assault. Union County prosecutor David Phillips said further charges would be reviewed by a grand jury.

The bride said she would postpone her honeymoon so she could be with her recovering father and brother.

The bride's step-father stabbed her father and brother, so either this had something to do with more than just cake, or these people take their desserts very seriously.

They were probably fussing over who was supposed to pay for this lavish shindig or gets first crack at sleeping with the bridesmaids. Who knows, it's Ohio..

Alcohol strikes again.

Oh, you can tell they are hicks or losers or something of the like.

The father was 45 and his ex wife was a grandmother of an 8 year old, so if you assume the mother was the same age as the ex husband, she would have been 37 when her grandchild was born. How old would that have made the daughter when she got pregnant??

Nothing says white trash like armed combat at a wedding.

I don't blame him, I've been close to shivving people at weddings before.

Don't fuck with peoples' cake, y'all!

naturally this would happen in Central Ohio..Raymond/Marysville is a suburban area northwest of Columbus. I actually know someone who lives in Raymond. In a mobile home of course! alot of redneck blue collar types up there. All the big Honda plants are nearby.
