Bride’s last words before being killed on her wedding day were ‘I want this day to last forever’

Samantha's devastated husband is now planning her funeral after what was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.

Samantha Hutchinson was supposed to be enjoying the final moments of her wedding day when she was tragically killed.

The golf cart that she and her husband Aric were travelling in was hit by an alleged drunk driver who has been accused of going well above the speed limit.

The newlyweds would have no doubt been on cloud nine after celebrating with their nearest and dearest on Folly Beach in South Carolina.

Samantha's sister has confirmed she was unbelievably happy at the end of the day and revealed her final words before her death.

Mandi Jenkins told The Today Show: "She looked at him on the golf cart and said 'I want this day to last forever'."

Jamie Lee Komoroski was behind the wheel when she allegedly crashed her rented Toyota into a golf cart carrying Samantha and Aric Hutchinson.

Mrs Hutchinson, who was still wearing her wedding dress at the time, suffered blunt force trauma as a result of the collision and died at the scene.

Her mother, Lisa Miller, knew something horrible had happened when she heard sirens.

In an interview with Fox News, she said: "At that moment, I said, ‘Something happened to Sam!’

“It was like a really bad movie, a really bad Netflix movie.

"We were running down the road toward all these lights… and we just were running and screaming Sam's name."

They were initially told Samantha had been taken to hospital, so they rushed there to see if they could find her.

However, Lisa got a call from her daughter's father who revealed he had to identify her body.

Komoroski has been charged with three counts of felony driving under the influence, resulting in great bodily injury or death and one count of reckless homicide.

In a police report, her blood alcohol content was found to be .261 - meaning she was three times over the limit.

She is also alleged to have been travelling at speeds of up to 65mph in a 25mph zone.

The report says that following the smash, Komoroski told officers: “All of a sudden something hit me. I did nothing wrong.”

In a statement, lawyers working on behalf of Komoroski said: “We cannot fathom what the families are going through and offer our deepest sympathies.

“We simply ask that there not be a rush to judgement. Our court system is founded upon principles of justice and mercy and that is where all facts will come to light.”
