Dog has his day despite tragedy | Chicago Tribune

HONOLULU — Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of A&E’s reality show “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” has married his longtime sidekick, Beth Smith.

The sunset ceremony on the Big Island took place Saturday, a day after the death of Chapman’s daughter. Barbara Katy Chapman, 23, was killed in a car accident near her home of Fairbanks, Alaska.

Okay, first of all, that’s pretty sad. Trainwreck though their lives may be, losing a child on is bad enough,

I have to confess that I occasionally watch “Dog The Bounty Hunter.” I know all about Dog and Beth, and Beth’s incredibly unique fashion sense, and her incredibly fashion-forward boobs, which jut shelf-like from her sternum in a fantastic way. Often, they are adorned with patriotic flags and such.

Dog also has the most carefully maintained mullet I’ve ever seen, and he has a unique belief system that combines bad-boy biker chic with come-to-Jesus fervency.

The show portrays them as people with a job to do – they appear to be trashy, but the image is part of what gets the job done, because the bail jumpers they track down both fear and revere him. It’s cool to be brought in by the Dog, but also you’ll get a tough-talking sermon on the ride in.

I had to comment about this next bit about the wedding:

Besides his trademark mullet, Chapman wore white jeans to match his white leather vest, boots and American Indian jewelry, representing his heritage.

Smith wore an off-white lace gown with nude backing designed by Eduardo Lucero.

Favors include dog tags with the inscription “Dog & Beth. Captured. May 20, 2006.”

Yowza. I’m sure the wedding pictures will be eye-popping. Gotta love them – they really go for broke in the tacky tasteless couture department. Can’t wait to see Beth in (or mostly out) of the dress.
