A helicopter ride with her treasured dress was not on the wedding checklist for Invercargill bride Khellsey-Anna Atley.
When she started to plan her big day two years ago, she might have expected the odd hitch — but not one of Southland's biggest ever floods.
Mrs Atley had her dream wedding yesterday in Invercargill after a couple of "stressful days".
Two days before she said "I do", she and fiance Alex Pemberton were unable to get to Dunedin due to road conditions.
Even more problematic ... the dress was also stranded.
She said her final fitting was in Dunedin on Tuesday this week
and she had driven to the city on Monday to be early for the appointment.
