Aric Hutchinson is still trying to wrap his head around the idea that his wife is no longer here on Earth with him after the couple were involved in a car crash that proved fatal for her on their wedding night in South Carolina.

Now, the groom has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the alleged drunk driver involved in the crash and a number of local establishments where the driver had been "bar hopping" throughout the day, according to a news release from an attorney representing Hutchinson and the lawsuit.

While he doesn't remember the crash itself, Aric Hutchinson remembers one of the last things his new wife, Samantha Hutchinson, 34, said to him: "She wanted the night to never end," he said during an exclusive interview on "Good Morning America" on Friday.

South Carolina authorities say Jamie Lee Komoroski, 25, drove her car into the newlywed couple’s golf-cart-style vehicle.

The bride died of blunt force injuries, according to the Charleston County Coroner’s Office. Aric Hutchinson, his brother-in-law and the couple’s nephew were also injured in the crash, GMA reported.

"She (Komoroski) stole an amazing human being that should not have been taken," Aric Hutchinson said.

The lawsuit, which is also an injury lawsuit filed by the brother-in-law and nephew, claims Komoroski visited the El Gallo Bar and Grill in Charleston before making her way to Folly Beach, where she began bar hopping on Center Street, with stops at several bars and restaurants.

CNN has reached out to the other establishments named in the suit and is awaiting comment.

"Despite being noticeably and visibly intoxicated at each of these establishments," the lawsuit states, "Jaime Komoroski continued to be served, provided, and/or allowed to consume additional alcohol at each of them."

Chris Gramiccioni, an attorney representing Komoroski in the criminal case said he and his client "ask that there not be a rush to judgment."

"We cannot fathom what the families are going through and offer our deepest sympathies," the statement said. "Our court system is founded upon principles of justice and mercy and that is where all facts will come to light."

"The state grants restaurants and bars a license for the privilege to serve alcohol, and with that privilege comes a responsibility to the community to serve patrons responsibly and to deny service to individuals who are visibly intoxicated," Danny Dalton, Hutchinson’s attorney, said.

Komoroski was a new employee of a local restaurant, Taco Boy, and her supervisor is accused of “organizing, arranging, and supervising an employee function/meeting knowing that excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages would be purchased for, served to, and consumed by the employees attending the function/meeting,” the lawsuit says.

"We can confirm with absolute certainty that Jamie Komoroski did not set foot in Taco Boy, nor did anyone on our team serve her alcohol at the restaurant," Taco Boy said in a statement in response to the lawsuit. "We have confirmed this by watching 16 hours of video footage from multiple cameras, staff interviews with everyone working that day, and by reviewing all sales receipts."

Komoroski's blood alcohol level was over three times the legal limit at the time of the crash, according to a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division toxicology report. She is now charged with one count of reckless homicide and three counts of felony DUI resulting in great bodily harm, online court records show.

Two broken legs, broken bones in his face, subsequent injuries and multiple surgeries later, Aric Hutchinson is finding comfort being back in the apartment the couple shared, he said.

“It's hard but it's also nice, he said. "It's got Sam written all over the house."

Komoroski remains in custody, jail records show.

"If this (lawsuit) stops one person from getting in their car while intoxicated, or helps someone have the courage to step up and stop that from happening, or helps an establishment really take a hard stand on over-serving people – that's something positive that can come out of out of this," Dalton said Wednesday.

Many weddings were canceled or postponed during the pandemic.

Now that more people are vaccinated, couples are back to planning their special day.

“Now that it’s a little more open and people are able to have their big weddings, we’re definitely seeing a surge of brides coming in,” said Allison Bailey, the operations manager at Winnie Couture in Atlanta.

But as brides rush in, it’s becoming harder for many to find a wedding dress.

Chloe Buckel who recently got married said, “I actually picked mine up two days before I had to fly out for my wedding.”

Michelle McFarland, President of the National Bridal Retailers Association said, “the manufacturers and the designers that are creating these beautiful wedding dresses all are experiencing supply chain issues.”

Some companies are changing their supply chain method just to keep up with demand.

The CEO of David’s Bridal, Jim Marcum told CNN the company is front-loading inventory production, so they can have them supply ready for customers in the U.S.

With shipping times slowing down by about 300% in 2022, couples are advised to start preparing everything for their wedding as soon as possible.

More than a dozen people, their pets and a wedding dress were all rescued from an apartment complex building fire on Friday.

A fire department in Wisconsin was called around 5:15 a.m. Friday morning.

The single apartment building on fire in the large apartment complex property housed eight units and 15 people inside.

No injuries were reported.

Chief Peter Jaskulski of the Hales Corners Fire Department in Wisconsin said one of his off-duty firefighters lives in the apartment building next to the one that caught fire. Jaskulski said the firefighter's dog woke him up, and when he let the dog out, he smelled smoke and discovered the fire. Jaskulski said the firefighter banged on all the doors in the building to wake people up.

Jaskulski said a woman inside the building, who nearly lost her wedding dress to the flames, pulled the building fire alarm.

Jaskulski said police also made sure everyone was out.

Fire crews contained the fire, but by the time it was out, the building and all the homes inside it were a total loss.

Multiple fire departments were called to help with the blaze.

After the fire was out, Milwaukee fire crews performed a sweep of the building and discovered a wedding dress in one of the units. They pulled it out.

"When you see something, and you see something of that much value, you make a decision and they made the right decision to pull that out," Jaskulski said.

The Milwaukee fire crew gave the dress to a neighbor, who reunited the dress with its bride. The moment was caught on camera.

Jaskulski said he talked at length with the woman who owned the wedding dress.

"This was a young couple that was going to get married in April and because of COVID-19 had postponed it. They didn't have a big ceremony, but they got married in a smaller ceremony and they hadn't decided what to do yet," Jaskulski said.

"Later on, I talked to her. She was holding the dress, she was with her husband, it was actually a really beautiful dress," Jaskulski said. "I said, 'You gotta get it dry cleaned.' She had tears in her eyes, she said, 'Somebody has offered to take care of that for me already.'"

Sister station WISN 12 News crews followed up with the apartment complex later on and found the business office filled with donations from the community.

Clothes, food, stuffed animals and more were all donated to help the families displaced by the early morning fire.

The apartment complex manager said they did not ask for donations, people just started bringing them in.

Jaskulski said the fire started outside on the second floor. He said it was not caused by any candles or grills, did not appear to be suspicious and did not appear to be caused by neglect.

He said the official cause of the fire is still under investigation, but he believes it likely had something to do with utilities located outside on the second floor.
