An Illinois bride died just minutes after saying "I do" to the love of her life when the motorcycle she and her groom were riding to their reception crashed, family said.
Jana Miles-Burnett exchanged vows with William Burnett, 31, in a city park in Buckner, Illinois about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
The couple had met through friends and decided to wed after a whirl-wind romance.
"After two months, they knew they wanted to be together," the woman's daughter, Sarah Smillie, said.
"There wasn't a time that I had seen her happier. If they were together, she was smiling," Smillie, 22
The wedding ceremony reflected their relationship and was light and full of love, she said.
"I’ve never been to a wedding where there was so much laughter. They were stumbling over each other's words because they were nervous, but they were laughing," Smillie said. "It was the most relaxed and funny thing I've ever seen at a wedding."
After being pronounced husband and wife, the couple hopped on Burnett's motorcycle and waved on family to start a procession to the reception, Smillie's husband, Khole Smillie said.
