When death did them part, Patricia and Bruce Wright were together at the Florida church where they wed 40 years earlier.

The Las Vegas couple, after a 2,400-mile odyssey, committed suicide side-by-side beneath an oak tree at the Friendship United Methodist Church.

"It was a romantic tragedy," their nephew, Daniel Johnson, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"Life started for the two of them there, and that's officially where life ended for them."

Bruce Wright, 60, put a shotgun to his head while wife Patricia, 57, used a rifle to inflict her fatal wound, said Bob Carpenter, spokesman for the Charlotte County, Fla., sheriff's office.
