At one moment, an accident nearly hindered the marriage of a woman who was trapped under a collapsed building 72 hours earlier after the earthquake hit her office at Christchurch, New Zealand.
As the quote says that love conquers all, Emma Howard, had finally able to exchanged vows Friday after undergoing almost 6 hours for her rescue operation.
Chris Greenslade, 25, is Emma’s newly-called husband seemed to prove that he is her knight in shining armor when he pulled her out of a rubble with his bare hands. Although behind such was a British hero who also made an effort of pulling her out.
Trapped in Pyne Gold Corporation Building for more than six hours, this 23 year old trainee accountant was horrified when the tremor struck the city of Christchurch with a 6.3 magnitude Tuesday.
Howard managed to send a text message to Chris who immediately ran to the said building to do all he can to (–foul word(s) removed–)ist the rescuers who responded at the event.
Seeing metal beam and concretes that have been tangled along with the roof that almost pancaked at an angle of 45 degree, Chris considered that it was the worst thing that he ever felt all through his life.
When the office tower had been destroyed, Howard reported that she was trapped in a tiny cavity in between the collapsed floors.
Moreover, she said that she just came to be so lucky that her desk was even crushed by the corner of the concrete which happen to be the ceiling that came down.
Despite the terrible tragedy, the two exchanged text a message (–foul word(s) removed–)uring that everything was fine that time.
After Howard’s rescue operation, she proudly says that when she was there, she was thinking that she was really meant to get married.
Their wedding was already planned for months until the couple had finally tied the knot as everyone witnessed their special day yesterday.
Despite devastation, the couple’s most awaited event was held. But behind it were the unexpected and even hard-to-accept after effects came where some lives were taken and the process of finding bodies are still going on.
