Dwayne "Dog" Chapman's Hawaii Wedding

May 2006-- A veil of sorrow hung heavily over the wedding day of Dwayne "Dog" Chapman and Beth Smith due to the untimely death of the groom's daughter the day before in an automobile accident, but their shared grief only strengthened the bond which had held the two together over the past 16 years. To honor the memory of their lost loved one, the couple went ahead with their scheduled nuptials on May 20, 2006.

Arriving in a canoe for the sunset ceremony on the big island of Hawaii's Hilton Waikoloa Village, the star of A&E's "Dog The Bounty Hunter" was clad in a pair of white jeans and a white leather vest, which he paired with Native American jewelry out of respect for his forebearers. The bride chose an ivory lace creation by L.A.-based designer Eduardo Lucero.

Before leaving the festivities, guests received dog tags to commemorate the day, each one emblazoned with the date and the words "Dog and Beth-- Captured."

Although happy to be united in matrimony, the couple mourn their loss and may reschedule their planned honeymoon excursion to Fiji.
