In 2016, bride-to-be Rosemere do Nascimento Silva, from Sao Paolo in Brazil, died tragically after the helicopter she was riding in to attend her own wedding crashed.

Rosemere lost her life alongside her brother, the pilot and a photographer who was six months pregnant at the time.

Heartbreaking footage has been circulating all over the internet of the bride-to-be's devastating final moments.

Rosemere, who was aged just 32, had planned to surprise her future husband Udirley Damasceno by arriving to her wedding ceremony by helicopter.

Udirley was waiting for his bride at the altar when the helicopter crashed and killed her.

The shocking footage, which was released amid an investigation into the crash, showed Rosemere sitting arm in arm with her brother on the aircraft as they smile and look out of the window.

The alarm begins to go off, and the footage becomes unsteady, with the sound revealing the passengers were all screaming in terror.

The camera continues to record as the helicopter plummets to the ground, killing the passengers.

The journey was supposed to take just 15 minutes.

As per Globo: "The video shows the moment of takeoff, which took place in the hangar of the company that owns the helicopter, in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo, with sunny and clear weather. It was 4 pm on December 4, 2016, and Rosemeire was going to surprise her fiancé, Udirley Damasceno, by flying to the buffet where the wedding would be held.

"After 21 minutes of flight, the weather turns bad and there is a lot of fog. From the video, it is possible to see that, in the next four minutes and 45 seconds, the pilot has difficulty finding the place where the wedding would be held, the Recanto Beija-Flor party buffet, rented by the family, and also trying to keep the aircraft stable."

Sao Paolo police, as well as specialists in aeronautics, believe the helicopter likely hit a tree as a result of bad visibility with rain, fog and cloud.

Carlos Eduardo Batista, one of the organisers of Rosemere's wedding, said after the crash: "All brides have a dream and hers was to arrive by helicopter to their wedding without anyone knowing."

The passengers were eventually discovered after the helicopter failed to show up to the ceremony.

Upon being told of his wife's death, Udirley is said to have been in a state of complete shock.

He had no idea about his wife's intended arrival, and neither did the 300 attending guests.

The helicopter, a Robinson 44, was confirmed to have crashed approximately a mile from the intended wedding venue, and was discovered in a forest area.

Alongside Rosemere, the deceased were named as pilot Peterson Pinheiro, Rosemere's brother, Silvano Nascimento da Silva, and pregnant photographer Nayla Cristina Neves.
