Bride killer Jamie Komoroski planning her own wedding from jail

The driver charged with mowing down new bride Samantha Miller on her wedding night started outlining her plans for her own nuptials in a tearful jail phone call with her father, obtained exclusively by The Post.

Jamie Lee Komoroski, 26, was three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit when she plowed her Toyota into a golf cart carrying Miller, 34, and her new husband, Aric Hutchinson, 36, as they left their beach wedding reception in April last year, according to police.

Miller succumbed to her injuries at the scene and died in her wedding dress.

In the emotional call from inside the Al Cannon Detention Center — where she is awaiting trial on four felony charges including reckless homicide resulting in death — Komoroski sobbed to her parent about her future plans.

“I want you to be at my wedding,” Komoroski told her father, Charles.

“I want you to walk me down the aisle. I want you to be with me. I want to go on walks with you.”

Komoroski, who is originally from New Jersey, faces up to 25 years in jail over the crash which killed Miller and seriously injured three others including the groom, in Folly Beach, about 10 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina.

The Coastal Carolina University graduate also told her dad she “hate[s] not knowing” what her fate will be, according to audio recordings released by The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).

The Coastal Carolina University graduate is still believed to be dating boyfriend Evan Tatro, who has stood by her since the fatal crash.

During a call between the two in December, Komoroski gushed over how he picked her mom up at the airport while she was in jail and thanked him for his help.

“It means a lot to me,” she told him during one call.

“I can’t wait to get a hug from you, oh my gosh, you had just better wear a rain jacket,” she said, referrencing to how teary she expected to be when they were reunited.

Komoroski described her day to Tatro, telling him she often showers just for something to do.

She also discussed her friendship with a fellow inmate named Tanner and how they pass the time by playing Monopoly and watching TV shows, including “The Vampire Diaries” together.

“You can watch TV, play cards or go in the rec yard and there is one medicine ball,” she explained.

“I can’t believe its already December honestly, I really can’t.

“This is the hardest part, you know, so, we’re getting through it.

“I miss you.”

The couple exchanged “I love you’s” at the end of the call.

Komoroski regularly speaks to her parents, siblings and boyfriend from jail CCSO

Komoroski and her relatives did not mention Hutchinson or Miller in any of the calls reviewed by The Post.

Prosecutors allege Komoroski was speeding and extremely intoxicated when she slammed her car into the back of the golf cart carrying the bride, groom, and two wedding guests.

Komoroski’s defense lawyers previously sought her release on $100,000 bond, with the condition she would enter a substance abuse rehab program, arguing she was neither a danger to the community nor a flight risk.

They also cited Komoroski’s lack of prior criminal history, and strong family support.

But during a tearful Aug. 1 court appearance — attended by Miller’s mother — Judge Michael Nettles ordered Komoroski to remain behind bars until the start of trial, scheduled to get underway in March.

If the trial is delayed, Komoroski could be released on $150,000 surety bond, but would be subject to electronic monitoring and placed on house arrest.
