It’s surrounded by memories of her late mother, who never got to share her own wedding dress because it was lost in a fire.
But in a series of unfortunate events, McQuaid’s dress was accidentally donated to charity after she lent it to a friend who was recently engaged.
Now she is keen to get it back.
She believes it was given to Lower Hutt Salvation Army.

A lot of (expensive) re-development is scheduled for the riverbank much of which is reputed to be to safeguard the Hutt Valley from future floods.
In the 1960's at least, and probably earlier and later than the 60's, shingle was bulldozed from the river regularly which kept the river bed at a safe level and provided protection when the river did rise. And it did then and still does. The shingle was processed by River Shingle & Sand and later Winstones for the construction industry.
We still build homes and commercial buildings don't we? Where do we get the mix for infill and concrete from? Not only are we ignoring a product that is useful and readily available but the removal of it helps to safeguard our community.
I am curious to hear from people think. Many would not even know that the riverbed shingle has a use. Look at the steadily rising level of the riverbed next time you drive by or take the dog for a walk. A major flood may not be that far away.
Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!
Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.
If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!
Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!
