Bride Killed And Husband Hospitalized Just Minutes After Leaving Their Wedding Reception

Shortly after leaving their wedding reception, a bride tragically died and her husband was admitted to the hospital.
It was the day that Samantha Miller and Aric Hutchinson were meant to be enjoying, their best day ever.

Following their official marriage, the newlyweds celebrated with friends and family at the wedding reception.
Tragic events occurred, nevertheless, when they departed in a golf cart with a “Just Married” sign on it.
There has been an overwhelming amount of global support for the announcement.
A commenter says, “This story hurts my heart.” I’m sending love and strength to each and every one of you during this terrible time.

“Aric, our hearts are broken for you,” writes another.
A third says, “It’s unbelievable that you’re no longer with us, Sam.”

Reports state that 25-year-old Jamie Komoroski, an alleged drunk driver, rear-ended Miller and Hutchinson.
In a 25 mph zone, Komoroski was allegedly driving at 65 mph while intoxicated while using a rental Toyota Camry.
The collision happened on Folly Beach, USA, in South Carolina.
After being flung more than a hundred yards, the couple tumbled multiple times before coming to a rest.

Miller’s severe force injuries from the collision caused his instantaneous death.

After the accident, Hutchinson required two reconstructive operations and was in a severe state due to several fractured bones and brain damage.

Ben Garrett, his brother-in-law, and Brogan, his nephew, were also hurt in the wagon that Komoroski struck.
Komoroski was charged with three counts of felony DUI resulting in grave bodily damage or death and reckless vehicular murder while driving alone.
Over $743,000 has been received via a GoFundMe campaign set up by Hutchinson’s mother Annette to pay for Hutchinson’s medical bills and Miller’s funeral expenses.
Hutchinson’s mother posts an emotional message, saying, “Aric has lost the love of his life. I was handed Aric’s wedding ring in a plastic bag at the hospital, five hours after Sam placed it on his finger and they read each other their vows.”

Since the tragedy, a lot of people have shared the couple’s last photos on social media, which feature them laughing and performing a sparkler tunnel as they leave their wedding ceremony.
Since then, Hutchinson has made her voice known in a recent Good Morning America interview.
He talked candidly about that awful day, his journey to rehabilitation, and dealing with such a profound loss.
He added, “I’m still trying to wrap my head around it,” in reflection on the event. It’s difficult to attempt and understand that night’s transition from an all-time high to an all-time low.”
He spoke warmly of his late wife, saying, “She was so happy.” As most people are aware, organizing a wedding can be incredibly stressful. And that evening, she simply seemed strangely at ease.
Samantha said, “I do remember the last thing I remember her saying was she wanted the night to never end,” as Aric recalled her final words.

It has been revealed by the Associated Press that Hutchinson would get a partial settlement of around $1 million for the crash.
The Post and Courier reports that Hutchinson will get about $863,300 from a number of sources, including Progressive vehicle insurance, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and the Folly Beach businesses The Drop-In Bar & Deli, The Crab Shack, and Snapper Jacks.
The driver was allegedly provided alcohol by these establishments, and Enterprise hired her the car.
The entire settlement sum is $1.3 million; but, after attorney and legal fees, Hutchinson’s share will be less.
Currently free on bond, Komoroski is accused with several felonies, including two counts of driving while intoxicated and causing serious bodily injury, reckless homicide, and driving under the influence resulting in death.
The court system is still working on her case.
Now that his mother-in-law is contesting the legality of their marriage, the bereaved groom is engaged in a legal struggle with her over her estate.

At first, Lisa Miller, Samantha’s mother, showed her admiration for Hutchinson, referring to him as her son.
She is now attempting to have him removed from his position as Samantha’s executor, claiming that there may have been “potential fraud” and raising the possibility that the marriage was void.
A potentially large court payout from the wrongful death claim is at the heart of the conflict.
A move to intervene in the case was filed by Lisa Miller, who then withdrew it and filed it again.
She feels Hutchinson is marginalizing her in the settlement process, which she feels goes against her daughter’s interests, she told The Post and Courier.
Given that we are the two most important persons in Sam’s life, “Aric and I agreed several times that Sam would want us to do everything together,” the woman said.
“I never intended to question the marriage’s legality. I never wanted to bring Sam down. However, I believe that by defyney grab,” according to Miller’s lawyer Jerry Meehan, who also claims that Lisa Miller’s main goal is to safeguard Samantha’s fortune and make sure that all legitimate heirs are taken into account.
Due to the fact that Hutchinson’s aunt and uncle signed the marriage license, which was recorded on May 1, three days after the wedding, questions have been raised about the validity of the union.
In addition, there were purported inconsistencies in the license; for example, Miller was only 34 years old, while the aunt and uncle claimed to have known one other for 36 years.

Aric Hutchinson, who said he had given his mother-in-law half of the settlement, expressed regret about the dispute.
His attorneys have deemed Lisa Miller’s move to intervene “morally dubious” and “legally baseless,” and they have rejected the doubts regarding the marriage certificate as unimportant.”
“Aric has been more than generous with Lisa Miller—offering her half of the money—and she has repaid him by threatening to bring a frivolous challenge to the validity of his marriage to Sam,” stated Patrick Wooten, Hutchinson’s attorney. It would seem that Ms. Miller would be too proud of her own daughter to act in that way.
Lisa Miller has been promised by Hutchinson half of the settlement from the wrongful death lawsuit in exchange for her quitting her legal defense of their marriage.
“Lisa Miller does not have a legitimate legal claim, which is why Aric made this settlement offer. He is a generous person who would naturally like to avoid costly, public litigation over the validity of his marriage to Sam,” Wooten stated.

‘He’s Going Bald!’ Fans React to Ben Affleck’s Unrecognizable New Look!

Two-time Academy Award winner Ben Affleck was spotted on a film set wearing an outfit inspired by autumn. The actor is still working while he and Jennifer Lopez handle their divorce.

On October 15, 2024, Ben Affleck was seen with a woman while holding an iced coffee, but it was his hairstyle that caught the attention of fans. Many people wondered if the actor might be losing his hair.

Affleck had a serious look on his face as he grabbed his iced coffee with his assistant, Gigi Fouquet. He wore a casual wine-red fleece-lined jacket over a cream shirt that was partly unbuttoned, with a t-shirt underneath. Gigi, on the other hand, wore a black crewneck sweater with light beige pants.

Despite Ben Affleck’s serious look, it was his hair that caught most of the fans’ attention. One fan seemed surprised and asked, “What happened with his hair?” while another wondered, “Is he going bald?”

Someone else joked, “He looks like he got too hot and tried to take a bath, but was still too hot, so he cut his own hair.”

Many shared similar thoughts, with one comment suggesting, “He’s going bald. The JLo glow really wore off quickly,” and another fan expressed concern by saying, “Ben looks very old!”

Still, Affleck’s fans quickly defended him. One person declared, “Ben Garner Affleck looks better than ever,” and another fan enthusiastically noted, “Handsome Ben, good job getting out of that relationship. You look awesome and healthy!”

Others focused on his future, with one fan saying, “So happy to see him staying busy and focused on the future. Good luck!” Another fan affirmed, “He’s a great actor, very smart. He will do amazing things.”

Affleck is busy with many projects, most of which he produces through his company, Artists Equity, which he co-owns with Matt Damon. Earlier this year, he finished filming a sequel to his 2016 action movie, “The Accountant.”

As for his acting roles, he is currently involved in two upcoming films, including “RIP,” where he stars with his longtime friend and collaborator, Damon.

In early October, Damon and Affleck were seen working together on a new beer commercial, reportedly for Stella. Affleck directed the ad, which features Damon and former soccer star David Beckham.

The trio was photographed at the Griffin Club Los Angeles, where they filmed the commercial on a tennis court.

Affleck seems focused on his work while he and Jennifer Lopez navigate their divorce. Sources say they are working out their financial issues amicably.

The actor’s social and romantic life has also been a topic online. He was recently seen with a mystery woman from a famous family. Many users pointed out that she looks like his ex-wife.

Online users believe the woman resembles Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. On August 24, 2024, a media outlet reported that Affleck has been seen with Kick Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s 36-year-old daughter.

According to the outlet, an insider confirmed that Affleck and Kennedy have been spotted together at popular places like the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. However, neither has clarified their relationship.

The timing of their outings coincides with the period when Lopez and Affleck began having marital issues, which led to Lopez filing for divorce on August 20, 2024, citing irreconcilable differences.

Many people have reacted to Affleck’s outings with Kennedy, noting the similarity to Garner, the mother of his children. Some comments online include, “[She looks] exactly like Jennifer Garner,” and “She looks like his [ex-wife], not [JLo].”

Kennedy has made headlines before. A profile from 2012 reveals details about her interests beyond being a mystery woman. She is passionate about acting and activism, particularly advocating for clean water.

Kennedy started a nonprofit called Waterkeeper. She even hiked with famous actors Emile Hirsch and Jessica Biel to raise awareness about water shortages.

Kennedy enjoys making the most out of life. “I like to say life is just a collection of experiences — some good, some bad — and the more you have, the better,” she shared in the 2012 interview.

As for her acting career, Kennedy has appeared on popular TV shows like “Gossip Girl” and “The Newsroom.” In the interview, she was still searching for her big break while dividing her time between Los Angeles and New York.

She admitted feeling held back by her famous family. “I was born with a sticker — a name — that made me uninterested in the fame factor of success,” she said.

The Harvard graduate studied dramatic and comedic acting and has a love for live theater. She played the lead role in the Storm Theatre’s production of “Antigone,” which sparked her passion for live performances.

Kennedy hopes to do more theater in the future but was focused on enjoying life in New York at that time. When asked what she loved about the city, she replied, “Just being able to walk into a bar with friends and shoot a round of pool.”
