HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A native of the Holland, Mich., area collapsed and died at her wedding reception in California, the victim of a brain aneurysm.
Amy Lynn Slenk, 26, died on the day she married longtime boyfriend Cole Handley in a vineyard in Soledad, Calif., about 115 miles southeast of San Francisco.
The bride was enjoying "the happiest day of her life" on May 25 when she collapsed at the reception, said her mother, Diane Slenk of Ottawa County's Holland Township.
"I know they were very excited about starting their lives together and starting a family," the mother said Wednesday to The Holland Sentinel. "They were planning on doing so many things together."
Following Amy Slenk's death, a California neurosurgeon told her family that although she appeared healthy, she had a pre-existing aneurysm and "it could've erupted at any time," her mother said.
