Police allege he followed her into a bathroom and sexually assaulted her.
The publication claims the groom, 31, "asked her to go outside and make out" and allegedly while in the bathroom stall, offered the teen $100 to take him up on the offer.
The waitress managed to break free and get out of the bathroom and says she's been left "shaken" by the incident.
Aimers was also charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after police say he fought officers responding to a brawl at the reception.
A worker alleged Aimers punched him after he tried to stop him from bringing alcohol outside.
