Moments later, a drunk driver would rear end the golf cart taking her and her husband, Aric Hutchinson, from the wedding venue in Folly Beach, WYFF reported.

“Aric has lost the love of his life," the groom's mother wrote on a GoFundMe page following the tragedy.

The newlyweds were being escorted in the golf cart by two relatives of the groom, Ben Garrett and Brogan Garrett, who were also injured in the crash, according to GoFundMe.

According to the fundraising site, the newlywed couple's “golf cart was thrown over 100 yards and rolled several times.”
