A groom has spoken for the first time after his bride was killed and he was seriously hurt in a crash on their wedding night.
WCIV in Charleston reports Aric Hutchinson was on a motorized cart with his bride, Samantha Miller Hutchinson, in Folly Beach on April 28. The pair was leaving their wedding reception when they were hit by a driver who investigators believe was under the influence.
Friends and family held a celebration of life for Miller, who is from Charlotte. Aric was also there on his first visit to the beach since the crash. He is in a wheelchair as he recovers from multiple broken bones and a traumatic brain injury.

“I’m feeling pretty good. My body’s getting back to where I can manage, I guess,” Aric said. “It’s just as good as I can feel with the situation.”
Two other people in the golf cart were also hurt.
Hutchinson said the people in the Folly Beach area have donated food during his recovery.
