The mother of bride Samantha Miller had just unwound with a change of clothes and a glass of wine on her short-term rental's balcony when the sound of sirens gave the first impression that her daughter's wedding night had gone awry in Folly Beach, South Carolina.
Within minutes, Lisa Miller was riding with her new in-laws to the South Carolina beach road where authorities say a woman driving under the influence at twice the speed limit slammed into the golf cart escorting a happy couple away from their sparkler-filled goodbye at a reception overlooking the Atlantic shoreline.
"She was around all her people. And her face was just lit up like — I don't know how to describe it," Lisa Miller said of her daughter. "This light coming off her face, she was just so happy."
