14 DAY TRIAL // Hulk Hogan is again a happily married man: he and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniels tied the knot the other day, in an intimate ceremony held in the star’s backyard of his Florida home. However, the nuptials weren’t without incident.
The former wrestling champ applied for a marriage license earlier in November, with reports saying at the time he was planning on marrying in about two months’ time.
Perhaps in order to prevent precisely what happened, Hulk and Jennifer were married yesterday – but somehow paparazzi found out about it and tried to snap pictures of the ceremony, which is when a brawl broke out.
Radar Online says the two were married in a short and intimate ceremony at his home. Bodyguards were presumably instructed not to allow any paparazzo on the premise, because the couple did not want their picture taken.
As expected, paps did manage to get near the place where the wedding was held, which prompted the handlers to try and remove them by using force. The brawl ended with a call to the cops.
“While the couple was exchanging vows at an intimate ceremony in Hulk’s backyard, which lasted no more than two minutes according to one insider, Hulk’s hired help grappled with the shutterbug who was trying to snap shots of the happy couple,” Radar reports.
“Hulk’s security team was in the background throwing around the paparazzi who was standing 200 feet away in the shoreline water,” an insider dishes for the e-zine.
Police were eventually called when things got a bit out of hand and, while no one was arrested, the photographer has already pressed charges for “assault, battery and destruction of property.”
“Hulk’s snappy wedding clip just might be subpoenaed since they are in the background punching it out! The paparazzo wants charges filed and plans to sue for physical, financial and emotional distress,” the same source says for Radar.
As for why the rush to have the wedding out of the way, Radar has it from another source that it was Jennifer who rushed things because she’d learned that Hulk’s ex Linda is making cheating claims in her upcoming book “My Life on the Ropes.”
