Hunt on for lost wedding dress
Donna McQuaid’s wedding dress isn’t just a reminder of her special day.
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 last seen in the Upper Hutt Salvation Army.
