From wife to widow: her dream wedding quickly became a grim nightmare.
Mere minutes after saying “I oo,” bride Johnnie Davis found herself speeding behind an ambulance as the emergency vehicle raced her new husband, Toraze, to a nearby hospital.
Her 48-year-old groom collapsed as they were snapping pictures outside of the church in which they had just vowed to love, honor and cherish one another until death did them part on June 19, 2023.
Davis was stunned that their sacred pledges of lifelong love only lasted for one hour .
“Toraze turned to me and kept repeating, ‘I can’t breathe I’m so hot, I need some water,’” Davis, 44, a mother of two from Omaha, Nebraska, told The Sun of the harrowing tragedy.
“He was wearing a suit and it was a hot day, and I thought that maybe he was having a panic attack,” she added. “He kept apologizing to me and telling me how much he loved me. I never imagined what would happen next.”
