Bride Burning Building [PHOTOS]: Bride, Maid Of Honor Jumps 3 Stories To Survive Fire Days Before Wedding

Bride burning building horrible incident occurred less than a week before a bride's wedding day. The bride burning building scare reportedly happened as a bride and her bridesmaid tried to escape a severe fire in her apartment complex by leaping three stories high.

The bride, Lenise Ruff of Colorado, escaped the bride burning building incident just five days before her wedding along with her maid of honor. In a WPTV report, the bride jumped from her third floor apartment window "into rocks" to escape the growing flames.

According to My Fox 8 News on Jul. 1, both women involved in the bride burning building scare managed to survive and escape potential death. However, both the bride-to-be and her maid of honor, her long time best friend and roommate Marilyn, have suffered extensive injuries due to the burning flames.

Reports say that Ruff and Marilyn were just planning for the wedding day inside Ruff's apartment the day of the bride burning building incident. Suddenly, both women said they smelled smoke. Caught up in the preparations, the two excited friends said they dismissed the smell at first. However, soon after, the scent of smoke apparently became so overpowering that the two could not ignore it any longer. The two women were surprised to find that a fire had erupted in their complex.

Though both Ruff and Marilyn tried to escape from the bride burning building incident, both soon learned that they were trapped by flames engulfing the apartment as it already covered both security exits in the room. The two apparently had no choice but to escape through the window. The bride burning building scare was escaped by the two women as they jumped from the burning apartment to escape the flames.

Due to the bride burning building incident, AOL News confirmed the situation of Ruff and Marilyn. They said that the Ruff suffered severe burns to her hands and wrists while her best friend Marilyn had a fractured spine because of the bride burning building scare. Still, it is fortunate that both women survived and are in stable condition. Since their anxious leap for survival on Jul. 1, Marilyn has remained in the hospital.

Now the bride-to-be understood that her maid of honor could not come to her wedding as planned and that Marilyn should just try to rest and recover. Apparently, the bride is in for quite a surprise on the day of her wedding as her best friend made an effort to make her happy and sent a message that she was going to be at the wedding despite difficulties. Indeed, despite injuries from the bride burning building scare, Marilyn was still able to make it to the wedding on Saturday and proved to her best friend that no fire could burn the bonds of their friendship.

According to the Examiner, Ruff revealed in a statement to a news station, 'This morning she texts me and she says, 'I'm going to come out.' For her making it, I know it was hard, but it means a lot to us.'

According to Ruff, her best friend 'sent a voice message that was played over a microphone for a toast. ... I don't think there was a dry eye in room.'

ABC News reports that on the day of the wedding after the bride burning building scare, Lenise Ruff walked down the aisle despite burns to her hands and face. Her roommate and maid of honor Marilyn Kruc was there beside her braved two broken vertebrae and walked down the while walking with a back brace and pushing a walker.

Another silver lining after the bride burning building incident is that the fire did not destroy the bride's dress as it was at her mother's house during wedding preparations.
