S.C. woman stabs fiance over wedding color scheme

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Richland County deputies say a 34-year-old woman stabbed her fiance on Christmas Day after they argued over what colors should be used in their wedding.

Investigators say the man was trying to leave a home near Blythewood after the argument when Krysta James attacked him around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Deputies say the man was stabbed in the upper body, but his injuries weren't life threatening.

James is charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature. She remains in jail on a $10,000 bond and it isn't known if she has an attorney.

1. Somebody let somebody

Rent too much space in their head

[WorseBeforeBetter]

2. Run, fiance, run...

far, far away.

[seattledo]

3. I'm sure there's more to that story.

[BainsBane]

5. Yes, like the colors in dispute

Without that information, it's impossible to get a full understanding of the incident. I mean, what if he wanted black and mustard, or mint green and bubble gum pink?

15. There's a moral: if you violet the law, consequences will ecru

21. Ow, that smarts!

[Kelvin Mace]

26. Certainly

Anyone who would let a trivial argument escalate to a stabbing has LOTS of other problems.

4. i have watched some of those bridezilla type shows

and while i assume some of it is played up for ratings i do wonder sometimes. some of these women are just abuse to others including their fiance.

i guess they don't have much going on in their lives to be so hung up on having this special wedding. it's like THE big thing. and id on't mean the part about being married but just the stupid event itself.

i would much prefer to save all that money and time on something like travel than some stupid wedding.

6. Do you mind if I post this in weird news?

it calls out for a comedic treatment.

[jsr]

27. Not at all!

[Common Sense Party]

7. I guess she wanted blood red as a color?

[bbgrunt]

8. ah, love is in the air. The heart wants what the heart wants.

[MrScorpio]

9. Time to call the wedding off nt

[tomm2thumbs]

10. Love..... exciting and new

[pinboy3niner]

11. Good thing he found out in time what a violet person she is. nt

[cinnabonbon]

14. Heh. ;)

[adirondacker]

18. It must have come from seeing red while feeling so blue. nt

[pinboy3niner]

19. She's one in vermilion. nt

[Scootaloo]

12. She sounds like a huge George R. R. Martin fan n/t

[Fumesucker]

13. Or maybe a Tom Lehrer fan

23. The James family sends it's regards.

16. Well, issue resolved: no wedding.

The bride will be wearing orange.

Seriously, if you can't work out wedding details without violence, marriage should be off the table because when real issues hit, there is no foundation for solving problems together.

This is a sad story of buttons being pushed and people who loved each other losing their minds.

Oh, and the woman who STABBED SOMEONE - completely inexcusable nut job crazy. Lady, if you think it is bad because he doesn't understand how important your wedding day is, just wait until you have to deal with him not putting the toilet seat down, watching "too much" sports, or any of the disagreements about "how money should be spent" that will happen.

Spend the wedding budget on therapy; this relationship is done - you put a knife in it!

22. My cousin broke up with her fiance days before the wedding. Her reason:

"If there's going to be a major tantrum over where to keep the rubber bands, it's better to just NOT get married."

[HappyMe]

17. Well, now her color scheme is orange.

I have seen a few of those bridezilla shows, sadly what this one did doesn't surprise me.

[redgreenandblue]

20. My mom said that she and my dad almost called off the wedding over towels.

Specifically over what color of towels they would have at home.

I guess pre-wedding anxiety hits some people extremely hard.

[etherealtruth]

24. Jeeze of Pete

The good news is that his injuries were not liefe threateneing and he found out she was a violent psycho prior to getting married.

[Javaman]

25. I (stab) Said (stab) I (stab) Don't (stab) Like (stab) Beige! (stabby stab stab)

honestly, who really likes beige.

[Fla_Democrat]

28. But, Blood Red is just too stabby, er, tacky for a wedding.

And white stains too easily.

[pinboy3niner]

29. She learned her knife combat skills in the aquamarines

I'm cerise!1!!

30. From what I've seen of

brides and weddings, the prospective groom has only one job

Well, two, actually...

1. Keep his mouth shut
2. Show up at the venue in his tux (or whatever he's wearing)

Honestly, sometimes I get the feeling that a great many of these guys are nothing more than fixtures.

For a while I was feeling not-so-charitable about one of my stepdaughters' wedding. Her big thing...what she always talked about...was how badly she wanted a child, and how time was passing, but she wasn't going to have a child without being married.

Then she found a guy who proposed.

The wedding was entirely her affair. It was always "We like this" or "We like that", but he just went along like a good fixture should.

They got married. They have a child. And I suspect she's not nearly as thrilled as she imagined she would be, no matter how many happy glowing updates she posts on her Facebook wall...judging from the sheer frustration this 2 1/2 year old causes her because the parents overindulge the kid and don't know how to set limits.

Anyway, Mr Pipi and I solved the problem of different tastes in the beginning, when we chose our wedding rings. We each chose three that we liked, then compared notes to see if any of our choices overlapped.

We did the same when we chose the color of the siding for our house, too.

Make it a win/win for both...if one person has trouble with that and only wants what s/he wants, then I would say that spells big time trouble and it's time to reassess the entire relationship.
