Trying To Move On
When nothing had come out of the investigation after almost a year, Lily, Adriane’s best friend, decided to finally get married to her long-time boyfriend Eric Copple. They had been going out for 8 years, and had decided to put the wedding on hold before this tragedy struck. Lily recalls, “Eric and I were originally planning to get married on November 1st, which is the day Adriane ended up dying. And if we had gone through with that wedding, it was planned in Hawaii, Adriane and Lauren would have been in Hawaii with us that week. It’s something that haunts me.”
Deciding to Finally Tie The Knot
Lily and Eric invited Adriane’s mom, Arlene to celebrate with them on their wedding day. Arlene even shared some bible passages. Despite the happy day, Lily still felt like it wasn’t complete because she felt the day wasn’t 100% perfect due to the fact that Adriane wasn’t there.
