A YOUNG bride who was widowed on her wedding day when her groom was shot dead by two of her guests cried “how will I live without you?”.
The woman, only known by her first name Christina, saw the best day of her life turn into the worst one as the tragedy unfolded.
Footage shows the newlywed couple dancing with their guests at a country club in the village of Vlasovo in the Russian region of Moscow Oblast.
They can also be seen hugging as they watch a firework display with music in the background.
But on the second day of the wedding festivities, a row broke out – leaving the groom, Radu Cordinianu, 34, and his brother Philip Cordinianu, 36, dead.
‘TOGETHER FOREVER’
According to reports, the pair were shot dead following an argument with two suspected killers – Alexey D. and Vladimir D. – who are also brothers.
It is believed that the situation quickly escalated and the suspects fired six or seven gunshots, leaving the Cordinianu brothers dead at the scene.
According to Russian news site Life, the two suspects – who turned out to be guests from the bride’s side – were detained in Moscow the following day.
The heartbroken bride wrote an Instagram post addressing her deceased husband.
She posted: “How am I going to live without you, my beloved man?
“I will always be your wife. I promise. You are my only one. We will be together forever.
“Just be there, look at me from above, and I will fulfil all our dreams for you so that you are proud of me.
“Sleep well, my dear, and I will try to survive this pain.”
