A bride has been left devastated after her new husband k!lled himself the day following their ‘perfect’ honeymoon – before sending her flowers from beyond the grave
Isabel Coles, from Southern Pines, North Carolina, married her husband Christopher Coles in September 2024 after meeting on a dating app a year and a half before, and the pair were ‘insanely happy’.
The newlyweds chose to go to a beachfront music festival at the Asbury Park in New Jersey, for their honeymoon as music was a big part of their relationship.
But upon returning from the seaside festival, 32-year-old Isabel said her husband began to act ‘weird’ and refused to tell her what was on his mind.
The 28-year-old reportedly left the house the morning after the honeymoon with a handgun and walked to a nearby forest despite his wife’s attempts to stop him.
The army veteran was reportedly found the following morning, on September 18, having taken his own life.
Isabel said her husband did not show signs of struggling and was folding laundry the morning before his death.
In a final heartbreaking twist, Isabel was stunned to receive a bouquet of flowers from Christopher months after his death – as he’d arranged them to be delivered while he would be away with the military.
Isabel said she and Christopher were ‘so insanely happy and in love’ when they went to the ‘Sea.Hear.Now’ Festival for their honeymoon.
‘Music was a huge part of our relationship, it was the perfect way to celebrate our marriage,’ she said.
After they flew home, Christopher ‘stayed up all night’ putting together the guest information for their wedding reception.
The couple had just married at a courthouse in September but were planning a big ceremony to celebrate with family and friends in May.
