Melissa Ott, Adam Ward Planned for June Beach Wedding Before WDBJ Shooting

Melissa Ott and Adam Ward had just about everything planned for their wedding including a June date at the beach next year before Ward, a WDBJ cameraman was gunned down during a live broadcast last week.

According to People, the news couple were planning on tying the knot in the sand at a South Carolina beach.

"They were very excited about it, they really were," Kimberly McBroom, WDBJ anchor revealed. "He wanted to be a dad, she wanted to be a mom, they were not going to wait a long time to have kids."

McBroom was at the anchor desk earlier Wednesday morning as Ward and WDBJ reporter Alison Parker were shot to death by a former WDBJ employee.

She continued, "They were very much in love and they were both so excited to get married."

Those plans were ruined when Vester Flanagan took Ward and Parker's life, injuring Vicki Gardner, the chamber of commerce executive Parker was interviewing at the time of the shooting.

Ott, a producer for WDBJ, was celebrating her last day at the station when her fiance was killed. She had recently accepted a position in Charlotte, North Carolina. The day of the shooting, Ott was in the control room when she witnessed the man she loved get killed.

MStars News previously learned that there were rumors circulating that Ott had received her wedding gown on the day the shooting happened.

"There were some rumors that [Melissa] received her dress on Wednesday, we had heard that and we thought that was true but I went to see her this afternoon and that was not true," McBroom cleared up. "She has not received her dress yet, that it is still in the shop."

McBroom described how the morning was going with Ott working before Ward and Parker were shot during a live broadcast.

"Before the show we were celebrating with her," McBroom recalled. "Adam had brought her flowers, Alison [Parker, the reporter who was killed alongside Ward,] had brought her balloons, I brought a cake, it was supposed to be a celebration day."

Shocked at what she had just saw, McBroom believed that the shooting was a car backfiring making the shooting noises, and that's when she told local viewers, "OK. Not sure what happened there. We will of course let you know as soon as we find out what those sounds were from."

As for memories of working with Ward, the station made a collage of the slain workers (seen below). The anchor said: "It could be a mundane story, an exciting story, but whatever it was we were going to have fun in the car, he'd ask me about my family," she continued, "He'd ask about my kids because he wanted desperately to have children with his fiancée. "

She ended, "They wanted to have kids. He said, 'We're not going to wait long, we're going to get started pretty soon.' "

So beautiful...our wall of tributes to Adam and Alison. Thank you. #WeStandwithWDBJ pic.twitter.com/XcSX6Vc8mh — Kimberly McBroom (@KimberlyWDBJ) August 31, 2015
