The wedding had been picturesque, atop Bayville sands along the Long Island Sound.
But as the bride's family, prominent members of the Long Beach community, headed home from the celebration early Saturday, a drunken driver going the wrong way on the Meadowbrook Parkway slammed head-on into their limousine, state police said.
Two were killed, including the bride's 7-year-old niece, a flower girl in the wedding. Six more were injured, the most critical a Long Beach city council candidate.
In times of joy such as your wedding, dont' take life for granted. enjoy each and every moment.... i pray for the the young girl family.
i tried to look up the bride/groom but it appears they are not listed here. The wedding was at the Crescent Beach Club

Does anyone know if this family is related to Kristen and Michael Tangney? I believe they are. I taught Kristen two years ago at Long Beach High School.
The bride was Kristen Tangney and among those injured critically were her parents. The flower girl and limo driver were killed.
so sad.
Bride was not Kristen Tangney, the bride was Lisa Tangney.
sorry - I dont know why I wrote Kristen - I meant to write Lisa. Lisa and her husband are my sister's landlords in Long Beach and Lisa is a teacher at Elmont high school with my mom. My mom and sister have said numerous times over the last year how Lisa and her husband are such nice people - what a tragedy.

My fathers friend was the limousine driver who died-I dont think he knows yet because I just realized when I read the article-my family owned a limousine company for 8 yrs and Stan used to drive for us-how awful about him and the little flower girl
