On Monday, Mrs Orzechowski's condition was said to have improved.

The couple had been childhood friends since they were six and had decided to get married. They held their ceremony at their home, surrounded by family. A few hours later, around 9.30pm, the couple were making their way to Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia to spend their wedding night, when the accident took place.

Speaking to wrdw.com, the late groom's mother said: "I've been calling his phone just so I could hear his voice. I love you, Brian.

"And I miss you so much. I wish you could come home."

The cause of the accident has not yet been determined but police said that Mr Orzechowski was not intoxicated.

The driver of the other car Torvoy Curry, 35, was airlifted to hospital. Police initially said charges were pending after Curry was found to be driving on a suspended license and with an open container. It was then reported yesterday that Mr Curry was not at fault in the accident, according to ajc.com.
