But it all suddenly kicked off at the end of the evening, after midnight, when people were starting to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;One of the female guests had got upset about something and was noticeably crying.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/14\/08\/78950861-12862943-image-a-5_1702542298458.jpg\" height=\"764\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Hayley, who is a geography teacher and daughter of a famous Rock photographer, pictured on holiday holding a cocktail\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This guy started to get angry apparently thinking that she was spoiling the atmosphere on Connor and Hayley&#8217;s big day &#8211; and he was quite rude and forceful with her about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Then her boyfriend took offence at the way this bloke was talking to her &#8211; and told him to stop. At which point the guy turned on him and started punching him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It flared up very quickly but then lots of people intervened, trying to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Then everyone spilled outside and there was some more commotion in the area outside the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m not sure who called the police but suddenly cops in uniform turned up and after asking various guests what had happened. And then the guy who&#8217;d kicked off was taken away in a squad car.
