On Oct. 3, Amy Steenburg shared asweet Facebook postaboutlife with her new husband, Axel Steenburg, calling him an “amazing man.” Just three days later, she and Axel were together during their final moments as the limousine theywere riding in crashed in upstate New York.
“I just wanted to sayAxel SteenburgI love you more than words can say!” Amy wrote. “You are such an amazing man and entertain all my crazy ideas. Even when I move a couch just to move it back to the original place. Thank you for being so kind and loving xo.”
The groupwas reportedly on their way to a birthday partyfor Amy, a relative toldNBC News. They never made it to the venue.
Less than four months earlier, on June 30, Amy and Axel wed at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church in Hagaman, New York, according toThe Knot. They then headed to The Saratoga Winery in Saratoga Springs, where Amy and Axel didn’t mind ruining their wedding duds to celebrate their big day.
“It was one of those days that was about 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity,” Seth Berger, the winery’s manager, told theDemocrat & Chronicle. “We took pictures of Axel and Amy going through the sprinklers soaking wet.”
Over the next few months, the lovebirds would share sweet Facebook photos and posts documenting their new lives as husband and wife. Late in September, the couple took a trip to Rogers Family Orchard in Johnstown where they cuddled close for photos.
Amy wrote in the post: “Lovely day … We even tried pumpkin pie ice cream & Strawberry Jalapeño hard cider! Yum.”
Amy andAxel first met in 2015and were swept into a whirlwind romance that found them exploring places and trying new beers.
“They still enjoy trying new breweries and their love has continued to flourish,” their Knot profile states.
