A 32-year-old wedding bride who planned to amaze her 34-year-old fiancé, Udirley Narques Damasceno, and their 300 guests with a stunning entrance by flying into the Recanto Beija-Flor venue in Sao Lourenco da Serra, Sao Paulo, in a helicopter, crashed just few minutes before she was due to land to tie the knot.

According to The Sun UK, the Brazilian nurse, Rosemeire Silva Nascimento, who was wearing her wedding dress and veil, died instantly along with three others when the helicopter she was flying in crashed tragically, as the groom was left in state of shock at the altar as he was told his bride had died.

Speaking to a correspondent, a wedding organiser Carlos Eduardo Batista, one of the few who knew about the surprise, was totally in the dark about the stunt.

Carlos who helped to organise the idea, said: “Every bride has a dream to do something amazing on their big day and for Rosemeire, hers was to turn up at her wedding in a helicopter without anyone knowing beforehand.”
