Bridesmaid Killed Days Before Wedding

A 25-year-old Wilmington woman died in shoretown car crash days before she was to be a bridesmaid in a wedding.

Why? Why would she get in a car with a driver that I'm sure she knew had been drinking? How sad. Now a daughter lost to death, and a son lost to the prison system.

When will these idiots learn not to drink and drive. Well his life is done too for the most part.

This is really terrible and the name sounds so familiar to me too. If she was also drunk then she probably didn't care that he was drinking. I think a lot of us have done that. I know I have when I was younger.

why does it say that they won't release the name until next of kin is notified when her name is highlighted in the story? Duh !

lol i don't think the writers for NBC10 are the sharpest tools in the shed. the majority of the stories are so poorly written. but anyway. What a horrible tragedy. and as someone said.. why would she get in the car if he was drinking, we don't know the details. Just because u are at the "legal drinking limit" doesn't mean you are drunk. who knows what his blood alcohol level was and honestly, maybe she was the one who was wasted and he was the more sober one. who knows. but i highly doubt any of the people making comments on this forum have never driven when they had to much to drink, or even not to much, maybe just buzzed a bit, or got in the car with someone who was drinking. don't be throwing stones.

Why is it that going to a wedding means to throw carelessness to the wind and drink until it runs out your ears. I worked for a church for 7 years and one of the duties was to set up for weddings which ran about 25 a year. Almost on every occasions while the ceramony was taking place inside - outside were always a bunch of guys decorating the cars with bottles or cans of beer in their hands. This in some cases included the chauffer. I threating them on with ordering them off of church property if they did not put it away. What a waste of a life.........

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families involved. I am sure all at the wedding will will have such a hard time dealing with this. I hope they some how manage to get through the day with all the saddness around them. You can fully understand why the event must go on but I am sure it is truly very hard for all of them.

People celebrate in different ways, as someone said earlier - don't throw stones.

going to a wedding doesn't mean that, and they weren't at a wedding, this happened last night, the wedding is today.

wow, the wedding will go on as planned. how cold. the bridesmaid must be good friends with the bride or groom. I wouldn't go on with the show if I had just lost a friend.

Actually if you are above the legal limit you ARE drunk, that's exactly the point. You are drunk if the law says you are drunk -- hence why sometimes you'll hear it spelled out as "legally drunk".

As for the commentary about don't throw stones implying everyone has gotten in a car intoxicated or with a driver who is -- listen you are an enormous jacka$$ if you drink and drive any stage of impairment. No excuses you are dumb if you do that.

And if you are completely trashed and drive and then create an accident -- my reaction of concern and sadness is for the innocent people you killed, as for you - if you are dead -- half of me says "what a shame" and the other half says "you got what you deserved".

Its the part of killing innocent folks that pisses me off.

If they cancelled the wedding, they might as well have flushed thoudsands of dollars down the toilet.

It's unfortunate, but life must go on. What can you do? It's not like the can pick another day and wipe out another 20 grand to have it then.

[ticked]

That's a dag on shame.

[ticked]

they wouldn't let me say d/a/m/n

LOL!!!

Safe to say all of these people were drinking. Poor choices end with tragic results.

I feel sorry for the family of the girl. But the boyfriend deserves to be punished for his crime,and not with a slap on the wrist, fine or community service.

No, I would not. How dare you tell me what I would do. Money doesn't replace friends. If I couldn't re-plan a big wedding at a later date, I would just have a small wedding after some healing time. I would donate everything in her memory. That is horrible, heartless, and cold that they are still having a celebration one day after losing someone.
