Minutes after their wedding ceremony, a young Texas couple was killed in a car collision as they were leaving the courthouse, CNN affiliate KFDM reported.
Harley Morgan, 19, and Rhiannon Boudreaux, 20, were killed in the town of Orange, more than 20 miles east of Beaumont, Texas.
They pulled out of the parking lot and were merging onto Highway 87 when their car collided with a pickup truck that was towing a trailer loaded with a tractor, the Orange Police Department said in a statement.
The newlyweds were leaving an Orange County Justice of the Peace precinct after their marriage ceremony, Lt. Gary Keaton, a spokesman for the department said. Behind them were the groom's mother and sister, who witnessed the deadly collision.

Sad. RIP, and condolences to friends and family.
We do not always understand God’s ways, but what we do know is that these lives ended on a high note. They were spared the pain that we all encounter in this life.
I’m getting tired of certain people attacking other people on Free Republic. People have opinions. They might not be the same as yours. Don’t take it personally.
Exactly, that’s all part of the package.
Well then, I guess I have two strikes.
A terrible silver lining, but I suppose you are right.
And I’m gonna call out an “opinion” that is cruel and wrong.
Don’t read my posts.
It’s easy enough to see my name.
I only answer to Jim bro. And you ain’t Jim.
Buongiorno
I read that they were planning a more formal ceremony later this year. Did you ever consider that they were a young couple, and maybe they couldn't financially tackle more formal trimmings?
Your vile hate gives people who are allegedly conservative a bad name.
Sad story, but it doesn’t belong here.
Thank you for your service Mr. Vet.
Terrible tragedy. Heartbreaking really. Seems like yesterday that my wife and I were just 21 and getting married. I hope they had placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
They are forever young and forever united in love in the heavenly halls of Jesus.
This is yet another case where I wish FR had a “like” button. Well said my FRiend
This story is a good reminder that we can die at any time.
One needs to be prepared the best you can.
God bless the family and friends and the pickup driver.
Reminds me of this
Luke 13 v1-5
13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
You are welcome. The service did a whole lot more for me than I did for it.
Come on, man! They could just as easily have been in a similarly fatal accident leaving the church. Would that have made you feel better?
Condolences to the family. What should have been a joyous occasion will now be remembered by their loved ones as an awful tragedy.

Don’t say “certain peopl” bro.
I’m from NY and like straight shooting better.
Next time say “You”.
I won’t be hurt.
And I will try not to be so combative when I disagree in the future.
In this situation two people died and this guy basically gave the opinion I would expect from a muslim.
And that I WILL call out.
But I will try to call things out in a calmer, less attacking way in the future.
Ciao
Boy that is fitting.
And scary.
How do you people know what verse to use to fit a certain topic!??!?!
I need to do a LOT more Bible reading.
WTF is wrong with you?
Young couple, actually got married rather than just shack up, killed leaving their wedding, and that’s all you can say?
