'This picture is a perfect example of the love he shared with Tiff and how much fun he was to be around. I've been to many weddings but this is by far the most memorable because the way they looked into each other's eyes and the love they had for one another.

Chris was the son of the local mayor and starred in MTV reality show twentyfourseven. He was also a musician who played in the band The Prom Kings.
He and Tiffany briefly separated last year before reconciling and moving back to his home town.

He told the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record: 'Ken and Ruth just ask you to keep the family in your prayers.'
While Chris had struggled with alcohol issues, he had seemed to turn his life around and recently returned home for the holidays after a trip to Peru where he dedicated his time to building a church and helping locals.

The driver of the car, Ezekiel Blanton went by Zeke and was a well-loved local who worked as a roofer and ran a clothing business Freedom United Clothing, which gives some of its proceeds to charities aiming to end hunger and poverty.
A fellow churchgoer Judy Oliver Miles paid tribute to Zeke on Facebook, saying: 'We all will miss Zeke Blanton's sweet spirit and smiling face. God Bless this Child of the Lord, Family and Friends.'
The tragedy comes as the Blanton family struggle with the loss of Brittany Blanton, who died just three days ago aged 29.

It is not known how she and Zeke were related, but Brittney was one of Tiffany's close friends and the Disney star spoke of the tragic loss just a few hours before her own husband was killed.
She wrote on Instagram: 'I keep thinking this can't be real. One of my very best friends is gone and the place she holds in my heart will never be filled.
'Brittany was one of the coolest people I've ever known, filled with the loudest and most contagious laughter, a huge heart, a beautiful smile and an unbelievable faith in others that not a lot of people have. It was such a blessing having her stand by me in my wedding and I was honored to stand by her in hers.'
