A bride is left heartbroken as her groom dies in a tragic car crash one day before their wedding.
On what was meant to be her wedding day, August 25, Shauntea Weaver, 40, is instead grieving.
Just days earlier, her fiancé Kirk Walker and his cousin Rob McLaurin were killed by a wrong-way driver on the Henry Hudson Parkway in Harlem.
Shauntea shared her heavy heart., ‘I should be wearing my wedding dress now, not grieving the loss of the love of my life.
“I feel like this is a TV show and I’m going to wake up any minute and go back to my real life,” she told The Post.
“Every hour since it happened, I’m having a different emotion take me over.”
The unfortunate car crash took the lives of Kirk Walker, a 38-year-old Manhattan dad of three, and his cousin Rob McLaurin, who was 40, during Walker’s bachelor party.
At approximately 2:20 a.m., a pickup truck traveling the wrong way on the Henry Hudson Parkway collided head-on with their Dodge Challenger.
Both men tragically passed away just days before Walker’s wedding. A representative from the catering hall confirmed that the ceremony was canceled because of the “fatal crash.”
“Our ceremony was supposed to be at 5:00 p.m. today — in a few hours,” Weaver said.
“He died 24 hours before our wedding. It’s devastating, and not just for me. He has three children who loved him immeasurably. They are heartbroken that their father’s been taken.”
He was such a generous, hard-working man,” she added. “He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody. Such a hard worker.”
