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 Hawaii's 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.
Chapman gathered with his 10 surviving children — two of whom he had with Smith — and discussed whether to proceed with the wedding.
"They all decided unanimously they should celebrate the wedding and her life," said Michael Feeney, vice president of A&E TV network.
