THIS Australia Day weekend was one I won't forget in a hurry. 
It was one of the most stressful, nerve-racking and exciting weekends I have ever experienced. 

A lot of Australia Day plans were cancelled for most but my Australia Day event was one-of-a-kind and had to be seen through. 

You see,A Wedding gown is a style that many are using now! I wasn't planning on going to the beach or having a barbecue with friends to celebrate our national day - I was planning to be a bridesmaid for my good friend Emma Reddy in her marriage to Kain Walker. 

The bride, groom and bride's family members were stranded in Gracemere while the groom's family and friends were stranded in Rocky.Has anyone brought a Off the Shoulder cocktail dresses?‎ 

We were all hopeful the road would be reopened later in the day or early Saturday morning so the wedding could go ahead.Beautiful A-line Wedding Dresses 

After spending the day at the nail spa and the pub for lunch we started to doubt our chances for making it into town to join the rest of the guests. 

Guests were travelling from all over, including one couple making the trip from New York only to be stopped at Sydney Airport unable to fly in to Rocky. 

There was a bridesmaid in Rocky, myself and another bridesmaid in Gracemere, and a bridesmaid and groomsmen at Brisbane Airport trying to get flights to Mackay so they could drive to Rockhampton and make it just in time. 

Late Friday night we were all strategising how we could get the bride and groom across the floodwater,Shop the latest off shoulder dress on the world's largest fashion site. we even considered taking a family member's tinny across. 

But in all seriousness we knew the only way we could make it would be if the road opened or if RACQ lent us their helicopter. 

Thankfully, a neighbour who was a hairdresser offered to do our hair and the beauty therapist at Amcal chemist was more than happy to do our makeup. 

Late afternoon was approaching and the road was still closed due to road inspections. 

It was time to pull out the big guns … an uncle of Emma's pulled some strings and managed to get the bride, groom and bride's parents across. 

Eventually the road opened and the rest of us made it to Rockhampton about 4pm, where I was able to reunite with the other bridesmaids, expect for the one driving from Mackay in a hire car with two other people. 

After getting ready and finalising last minute details, we had our photos taken and were on the way to the event we thought we'd never see. 

The groomsman and bridesmaid had made it from Mackay and after getting dressed in the Caves car park were ready for Emma's arrival. 

Walking to the caves were the four of us dressed in dusty pink dresses holding umbrellas above our heads and wearing thongs while holding our heels,Jovani designer 2013 evening dress and celebrity style evening gowns. followed by the beautiful bride. 

The candlelit ceremony in the cathedral was full of smiles, laughter and tears as everyone was so joyous that everything had worked out in the end. 

For those of you who have not yet witnessed a wedding in the Capricorn Caves, I highly recommend it, as it is such a magical place unlike any other. 

After a perfect ceremony the 50 guests made their way to the reception at the Rockhampton Leagues Club were we danced and drank the night away at what they labelled the wedding of the year.
