Quake survivor goes ahead with wedding in New Zealand
In a bright moment amid the misery of New Zealand’s earthquake, a woman rescued from the rubble just days ago has gone ahead with her planned wedding.
Emma Howard was rescued on Tuesday after her office block collapsed in the 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Christchurch.
But today she refused to let the disaster impact on her plans and she went ahead with her marriage to Chris Greenslade.
When she was trapped, Miss Howard managed to contact Mr Greenslade on her mobile phone and got him to direct rescuers to where she was.
Speaking to Radio New Zealand on the day of her rescue, Miss Howard said going ahead with the wedding was a sign that the disaster could not break people’s spirit.
