WHEN weather struck, Port Macquarie couple Christine Drennan and Matthew Moore had their wedding thrown into disarray after P&O Cruises’ Pacific Jewel’s tenders were prevented from operating due to strong winds.
The planned beach wedding in Mooloolaba looked to be cancelled, until quick thinking Pacific Jewel hotel director Melissa Yates stepped in.
While captain Otty Ghoshroy couldn’t legally marry the couple, Yates organised a commitment ceremony.
The couple enjoyed champagne, a wedding cake and a reception dinner in the ship’s main dining room.
To make it official, Yates organised the couple’s celebrant to meet them in Gladstone to seal the deal.
The couple are pictured.
