NO OBJECTIONS, JUST SOME BITING REMARKS

Marv Albert's fiancee said "Yessssss!"

Heather Faulkiner, 40, wed Albert at a penthouse suite of a New York City hotel Wednesday.

Among the 50 guests were the president of Madison Square Garden and NBA Commissioner David Stern.

Faulkiner stood by the 57-year-old broadcaster throughout the sex scandal that cost him his job with NBC.

Albert was accused of biting a woman and forcing her to have sex in a Virginia hotel room. He pleaded guilty to assault, was fired from NBC and resigned from the MSG Network, which broadcasts Knicks games.

However, MSG recently rehired Albert to do radio play-by-play of Knick games and anchor a nightly TV sports show.
