Bride Kim Sjostrom Dies During First Dance At Wedding

The 36-year-old had complained of light headedness during the dance. Efkarpides, 43, thought Sjostrom needed sugar as she was a diabetic. After she collapsed, all attempts to revive her failed. She had died of heart disease.

The teacher wanted a real-life version of the movie ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.’ The ceremony was planned by her co-workers and held at Davie Elementary School, where she taught first grade.

As a child, Sjostrom was the face for juvenile diabetes. Her face had appeared on millions of posters, some posted on New York subways.

Efkarpides, a carpenter and Navy Veteran, says he reads a list that Sjostrom made him for their first Christmas. The list is ‘101 Reasons Why I Love You.’ Number 98 is, “You’re the one I want to grow old with.”
