Smiling as she soaks up the sun in Miami, this is wedding brawl bride Nicole Sannuti on her bachelorette weekend - just weeks before her big day ended in tragedy.

She and seven friends flew to Florida last month for a party which one of them described as ‘one big scene from The Hangover’.

On their first day they stayed up for 24 hours in what was the perfect send-off for their beloved friend.

But come the wedding itself, things took a far darker turn with the now infamous brawl at a hotel which involved up to 100 members of both the bride and groom’s families.

Worse still, Miss Sannuti’s uncle Vincent Sannuti, 57, suffered a heart attack and died in the melee whilst her brother-in-law Matthew Sofka, 26, has been charged with assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

Upon returning to New Jersey Miss Pettito made clear how much everyone enjoyed themselves as she wrote on Twitter to a friend: ‘I was the epitome of drunk girl dance face this weekend.The mother of the bride dresses from Belk are elegant and tasteful. Would have made you proud’.

Another Tweet read: ‘This weekend was one big scene from the hangover. And it was brilliant’.
