Woman accused of killing bride on wedding day tells father 'I want you to walk me down the aisle' in call from jail
The woman accused of destroying a wedding is hoping to have her own
An alleged drunk driver who is facing 25 years behind bars for reportedly killing a bride on her wedding day told her father in a prison phone call that she wants him to walk her down the aisle.
Jamie Lee Komoroski has been charged with four counts in relation to the tragic crash that killed Samantha Hutchinson in April 2023.
The 26-year-old was allegedly three times over the legal alcohol limit when she sped through Folly Beach, South Carolina.

Even though she's looking likely to be behind bars until 2048, Komoroski is thinking about tying the knot herself.
In audio obtained by the New York Post, she is heard telling her father: "I want you to be at my wedding.
"I want you to walk me down the aisle. I want you to be with me. I want to go on walks with you."
Komoroski is still seeing her boyfriend Evan Tatro and continues the relationship over the phone.
In one call, she laid praise upon him for picking up her mother from the airport.
"It means a lot to me," she said.
"I can't wait to get a hug from you, oh my gosh, you had just better wear a rain jacket."
This was a reference to how much she would cry over him.
According to the calls, Komoroski has befriended a cellmate and spends a lot of time watching The Vampire Diaries.
Just under a year ago, Komoroski changed her life forever when she crashed her car into a golf cart being ridden by Hutchinson and her new husband.
The cart was flipped over several times, as it was thrown 100 yards away.
She had been driving 65mph - in a 25mph zone.
Despite the best efforts of hospital staff, Hutchinson died in her wedding dress.
Hutchinson's husband had to undergo two reconstruction surgeries, in addition to suffering numerous broken bones and a brain injury.
Komoroski has been indicted on one count of a felony DUI resulting in death, two counts of DUI resulting in bodily injury and one count of reckless homicide.
Hutchinson's husband has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her, seeking damages from both her and the bars that served her.
In the lawsuit, he claims that Komoroski was bar hopping the night she killed his wife.
Five bars are being sued, as they allegedly served Komoroski alcohol despite her being visibly drunk.
When detained by authorities, she admitted to having two drinks in the hour before the crash - a beer and a tequila pineapple cocktail.
If found guilty for the death of the bride, Komoroski would face up to 25 years behind bars, as well as a fine of $25,100.
Should she be found guilty of reckless homicide, she would be sentenced to 10 years.
