Bride dies days before wedding while hand-delivering invitations
Madelyn Rosely Caracun Perez and her fiancé Davilson Gesell Canimac Miranda were planning to get married on December 14
A bride-to-be has died after she and her partner took a trip out to hand-deliver invitations to their upcoming wedding.
It’s understood Madelyn Rosely Caracun Perez, 24, and her fiancé Davilson Gesell Canimac Miranda, 29, were due to say ‘I do’ on December 14.
Ten days before their wedding on December 4, the pair were driving around on a motorbike, dropping off invitations to their upcoming nuptials, as per El Heraldo de Mexico.
Reports claim the couple were cruising on a roadway near the San Cayetano farm in Guatemala’s municipality of Chicacao, Suchitepéquez, at around noon when disaster struck.

The pair’s two-wheel vehicle was struck by a piece of lorry that broke off on the roadway.
It’s alleged that the truck suffered a mechanical failure, resulting in part of its transmission breaking off.
The debris allegedly hit the couple’s motorcycle while they were driving, causing Perez to be thrown from the vehicle.
It’s reported that the freak accident has proved fatal, with emergency services declaring the bride-to-be dead at the scene.
Meanwhile, Miranda was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries where he is still receiving care, according to People Magazine.
The family and friends of Perez and Miranda have reportedly been left ‘deeply shocked’ following the incident, as they had been preparing to celebrate the couple tying the knot later this month.
People reported that the pair’s parents have asked authorities to investigate the fatal accident further so that they may ‘bring whoever is responsible for it to justice’.
It has yet to be announced when Perez’s funeral is set to take place.
Back in 2012, a bride tragically died after taking part in the 'trash the dress' trend.
For Maria Pantazopoulos, the happiest time of her life quickly turned into a nightmare that nobody was prepared for when, a few weeks after the ceremony, she decided to go with a photographer, Louis Pagakis, to get some 'trash the dress' pictures.
They went to the picturesque location of Ouareau River near Dorwin Falls in Rawdon, Montreal, in August that year.
The aim was to soak the dress - basically destroying it - and to get some good snaps in the process.
But the heartbreaking reality of what happened left Maria's new husband and family completely crushed.
Wedding dresses aren't notoriously light, so when her gown began to get heavy, she was pulled to the bottom of the water, which was said to be around eight metres deep.
In an attempt to save Maria, the photographer dived in but the dress made her too heavy to pull out.
