It is supposed to be one of the best days of your life, but for one couple their wedding day was that little bit more special. Emma Howard was trapped for more than six hours after her office block collapsed in the 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. Her frantic fiance Chris Greenslade ran to the Pyne Gould Corporation building and began digging by hand to find his bride-to-be in the rubble. But after she was pulled from the wreckage of the building, the couple decided to go ahead with their nuptials despite the devastation. Today they tied the knot at Christ the King Catholic Church in Burnside, watched by all the guests on their original invitation list, according to Daily Mail.
Speaking to Radio New Zealand after her rescue, Ms Howard described being trapped 'in a foetal position' when she was thrown from her chair by the force of the quake.
