What happens when an ex shows up on your big day?
Gladys Ricart was tragically murdered on her wedding day on September 26, 1999, in Ridgefield, New Jersey. As she was handing out flowers to her bridal party before heading to the church, her ex-boyfriend, Agustin Garcia, entered her home.
Garcia, who was reportedly enraged by their breakup and her upcoming marriage to another man, shot Gladys three times in front of her family and friends. He was immediately apprehended at the scene and later convicted of first-degree murder.
This horrifying act of violence shocked the community and highlighted the dangers of domestic violence, even after a relationship has ended. Gladys' story has since been remembered as a tragic reminder of love turned deadly.

How do you make your entrance to your nuptials memorable? This grand entrance will never be forgotten...
Rosemere do Nascimento Silva, a Brazilian bride, tragically died in December 2016 while en route to her wedding in a helicopter. She planned to surprise her fiancé and guests with a dramatic entrance at the ceremony in São Lourenço da Serra, São Paulo.
The helicopter, carrying Rosemere, her brother, the pilot, and a photographer who was six months pregnant, crashed in dense fog just a mile from the venue. Sadly, all four passengers were killed on impact.
Investigators later determined that adverse weather conditions and possible pilot error contributed to the crash. This devastating incident turned what should have been a joyous occasion into a heartbreaking tragedy.
