Dec 27, 2013, 8:33 PM

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Deputies in South Carolina say a woman stabbed her fiance on Christmas Day after they argued over what colors should be used in their wedding.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release that the man was trying to leave a home near Blythewood after the argument when Krysta James attacked him around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Deputies say the man was stabbed in the upper body, but his injuries weren’t life-threatening.

James is charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature. She remains in jail on a $10,000 bond and it isn’t known if she has an attorney.
