After 160mm of rain in four hours overnight, other family members attending the wedding coming from Markwell Back Road to Bulahdelah were unable to assist in getting the wedding party to the venue.

Initially the couple had planned to get married at a venue on Markwell Back Road, but after the immense rainfall – the venue was underwater.

With a change of venue to Big 4 River Myall, Stroud SES helped bring all the wedding party, suits, wedding dress and everything in between across the flooded road to the new venue.

“For anyone concerned the rest of the day went off without any more dramas with Alex and Sam getting married under the afternoon sunshine at the Big 4 River Myall.

“Thank you to everyone involved in getting us across the flood water yesterday – there are no words to say how much we appreciated the effort you went to for us,” a family member said.
