'American Chopper' Star Paul Teutul, Jr. Weds

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 23rd 2010 03:40PM

'American Chopper' star Paul Teutul, Jr. tied the knot with Rachel Bezier this weekend in front of 135 guests at Bonnet Island Estate in Bonnet Island, New Jersey.

The affair included $28,000 in flower arrangements, a six-tier pink velvet cake with lemon butter cream icing and a post-ceremony butterfly release. Bezier even took her search for the perfect gown to the experts on 'Say Yes to the Dress' and found a Pnina Tornai design that was just right.

However, one very important guest -- Paul Teutul, Sr. -- decided to skip the nuptials, TMZ reports.

Senior and Junior have always had their spats on the TLC show. Off camera, the bitter feud continued, and Paul Jr. left Orange County Choppers to start his own design firm. Paul Sr. eventually sued Paul Jr. for $1 million in stock options, according to TMZ.

In April, Junior started a custom bike business in direct competition with his dad's, which will be the focus of TLC's 'American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior.'

Senior is the founder of Orange County Ironworks and Orange County Choppers. He worked along with his sons, Paul Teutul, Jr. and Michael Teutul, who became celebrities when Orange County Choppers became the focus of the reality television series 'American Chopper' in 2002.

You people judge people by their cover. Maybe she is a very nice girl and you just don't know her? I think this is all made up for ratings and you all bit on it. NOw who looks dumb?

Paul Sr. is an immature idiot for missing his son's wedding. I hope one day he really regrets it. I've lost all respect for him now. LOSER!

By emoore2927

I think the wedding photo says it all. He's looking at her and she's looking at the camera. Easy to see where this realtionship is heading.

Congrat's to the both of them. I watched Rachael pick out her dress, she seems like such a sweet person. I think she and Paul Jr. are a great match and I wish them many, many years of happiness.
I think it was a perfect chance for his father to mend the fences that he himself tore down. It was to bad he did and not show up, he misses an event that no parent alive should miss. However, I'm sure the tension of his being there wasn't missed, all he would of done anyhow was to critisize the way it all was done and then storm out as always.

Congratulations to the happy couple. Have lots of little Teutuls.

It is too bad Sr. did not attend, even though he was invited. While I understand his reasons for being upset with Jr., enough is enough. Time to reconcile and get back to making great bikes. This was the perfect opportunity to do so.

Sr. will be very sorry some day, particularly when the grandkids arrive.

put rick, vinnie,jim quinn,jason poule and nub,on one team, and let the rest go down with the ship.[sorry mikey,nothing personal]

By Frambo

forget about Sr. lets Jr's life move on along with beautiful wife contgrat to both of them.

By Ray Stofer

To prey for the people involved is what is needed not condeming them
or bashing them. If i were paul Jr i would kneel and for give him in prayer then call him and forgive him them meet him in person and for give him untill he accepted that foregiveness.

Due to ww2 i was raised with out a father and would do anything
to change that. So i advize paul Jr to get with IT while you have the oppertunity to do so.

By italianspadeqwen

To me Dad is a rage-a-holic. He has always been demeaning to both sons on the show. What kind of father puts ego,and money before his children? Paulie doesnt need the grief of dealing with his lunatic father. He is excellent at what he does and will make it without dad. It is Dad's loss that he is alienating his children.

By WOODY

WHAT A JERK! HE PROBABLY WOULD'VE THROWN A TEMPER FIT IF HE WAS THERE ANYWAY, SO WHY HAVE A MORON THERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
NO BIG LOSS. THE OLD MAN IS AN IDIOT!

big wedding, big divorce. guys got it made and he blows it by getting married

By Mike

I have never seen a more arrogant person in my life, than Sr. He does squat, yet takes all the credit for what his workers do. He treats his workers better than he treats his own kids. For any guy to treat his own children the way he does, he's definitely got some very serious issues.

By Allan

Paulie worked and Sr ran his mouth. Jr will put Sr out of business. Sr. is a jerk but Jr. seems like a genuinely decent Guy!
The best of luck to ya Paulie!

By Suz

Glad to see writer used so much research in this article for the information on Paul Sr. It looks like a reprint of what can be found on Wikipedia!

By Luis

She is just a goldigger jew after his money. The marriage won't last. Paul sr did the right thing in not attending the wedding. Weddings are waste of money and are nonsence just like funerals. VERY OLD FASHIONED RITUALS SLOWLY FADING OUT.

By Archie Colvin

Congratulations to the newlyweds,too bad Paul SR couldnt have put the petty crap behind him for one day and attended the occasion.

By aj

It's not hard do see how these kids were raised by such an abusive parent. Sr. is so toxic if he ever falls in the ocean all sea life is doomed.

By hi all

Paul Jr. and his bride Rachael are going to have a beautiful baby. Lets just hope it doesn't have a nose like them cuz it could drown in the rain.
