"Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of having a

big wedding, with a long white gown and a

bouquet of flowers but my love for Chris was so

strong. I couldn't wait any longer for us to be

together as husband and wife. I couldn't even wear

my nicest dress because that would've made my

father suspicious."

Yolanda Saldivar, Selena's personal

assistant called Selena early one morning saying she had found some missing paperwork Selena was looking for. When Selena got to the hotel she demanded the missing financial papers. There, an argument began over the embezzlement, and Saldívar drew a gun from her purse, pointing it first at her own head, then at Selena. As the singer left the room, Saldívar shot her once in the back.

Selena fled to the manager's office in the

lobby for help. Before collapsing to the floor,

she named Saldívar as her assailant.

The ambulance and police arrived on scene

to escort Selena to the hospital.
