According to the Independent newspaper, the bride mentioned above was Paige Ruddy, who died in a house fire in Wisconsin, USA, just hours before walking down the aisle.
Ruddy was sleeping on the second floor of a Reedsburg home when it went up in flames around 4 a.m. on May 23. She suffered a brain hemorrhage from smoke inhalation and died at the hospital the next day.

The tragedy struck on Ruddy and Logan Mitchell-Carter's wedding day. They had planned a small ceremony with close friends and family in Sauk County.
Local fire chief Craig Douglas said Ruddy was unable to get through the smoke to safety. The home the couple were staying in belonged to the groom's grandparents and is believed to have no smoke detectors.
The Sauk County Coroner's Office confirmed to WMTV that their preliminary investigation indicates that Ruddy's death was caused by smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Three other people were also home at the time of the fire but managed to escape before firefighters arrived.
Ruddy's funeral is set to take place next week. Her family has taken to the GoFundMe website to ask for help with their daughter's medical and funeral expenses.
