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, family said.
"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, told IE.
The wedding ceremony reflected their relationship and was light and full of love, she said.
