George Wright ties the knot

Self-proclaimed "independent Labourite" George Wright and partner Tanisha Singh said 'I Do' in a private wedding in Westmoreland on Saturday. 

The intimate ceremony, which was held at the Savanna-la-Mar Parish Church, was attended by close friends of the couple; including Daniel Dawes, CEO at the Universal Service Fund. 

Wright and Singh were embroiled in a dispute that drew national attention two years ago, in which a video of a man beating a woman with a stool went viral.

Both Wright and his partner Tanisha Singh reported an assault to the police at the time, but none of them offered a statement to allow for prosecution.

Wright resigned from the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) amid controversy. He continues to serve Westmoreland Central as an independent member of parliament.
