A bride-to-be’s bachelorette party was ruined after she was allegedly assaulted by a stranger while waiting for a ride outside a Texas nightclub.

Canada Rinaldi, 27, suffered a concussion, a broken nose, three chipped teeth and required eight stitches to her face in an attack on Saturday night — just a month from her wedding, GoFundMe page said.

The attacker came from behind.

“So I remember walking towards the back of the car, and then I remember waking up in an ambulance,” Rinaldi told local Fox affiliate KDFW. “That’s all I remember.”

Kirsten McDowell started the fundraiser to cover hospital expenses. She was among the group of friends who were celebrating Rinaldi’s upcoming marriage.

“Just 24 hours earlier, she had told us she was having ‘the best trip of her life,”” McDowell wrote. “That happiness was ripped away from her in an instant, turning it into the most terrifying and traumatizing night she’s ever experienced.”

Rinaldi, who lives in Oklahoma, racked up $10,000 in medical bills, McDowell said. She continues to recover and is hopeful her injuries will be cleared up by the time her wedding comes around.

“It’s just shocking,” she told Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA. “It’s hard to believe. I feel like a lot of my experiences were taken away from me.”

Meanwhile, the suspect remains at large. She told WFAA she didn’t know the man, nor did she understand why he attacked her. Her bridesmaid, Kelly Peralta, said in an interview with the TV station that she tried to intervene and ended up getting punched herself.
