A U.S. Army soldier in Texas has been charged for a crash that killed an engaged couple, with cops alleging he got drunk at a gender reveal and then tried to drive — while still wearing a baby blue wristband from the party and reeking of alcohol, according to his arrest affidavit.

Dalia Olivas, 28, and her fiance, Rick Ballard, 29, were driving in El Paso on Nov. 2 when the crash unfolded around 11:37 p.m., according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
