(The Christian Post) – Less than two hours after getting married in a “fairytale wedding” on Saturday, a young Christian couple from Texas died after a helicopter they were traveling in crashed into the side of a hill on their family farm. The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed they were investigating a fatal helicopter crash that took place near Uvalde, Texas, at about midnight.

The accident involved a Bell 206B helicopter. William Byler confirmed to Eyewitness News that his grandson Will Byler, his new wife Bailee Ackerman and the aircraft’s pilot, Gerald Green Lawrence all died in the crash at their family ranch. The couple’s passing was first announced on Facebook in a post Sunday night by one of the groom’s friends Michael Montgomery. FULL STORY
