After the earthquake in New Zealand, life went on.
A woman rescued from her office tower has one of the Emergency personnel to the wedding.
A woman rescued from her office tower has one of the Emergency personnel to the wedding.
She is one of the six survivors Carl, 43, dragged to safety from a collapsed office building after the horrific New Zealand earthquake on Tuesday.
And as Emma, 23, prepared to walk down the aisle yesterday, we arranged a surprise reunion with her rescuer.
The 6.3 magnitude quake that devastated Christchurch has left 113 people dead and at least 200 more still missing. Officials warn the final death toll will rise significantly.
But because of Carls courage, Emmas family were celebrating a happy occasion and not mourning a terrible loss.
It was either going to be a funeral or a wedding, said her father John, delightedly shaking Carls hand.
