Natasja and Dave felt like a couple of tools as they tied the knot, reports Warren Gibbs.
When lovebirds Natasja and Dave Johnson planned their wedding day, they imagined a setting of golden sand and tropical palms. Instead, they exchanged vows among stacks of wood and tins of paint at their local Bunnings store.
After flash flooding and gale- force winds forced the couple to cancel their September 25 wedding on Mackay’s beachfront, the pair were beside themselves. “I was so upset, I couldn’t stop crying,” says Natasja. “I’d been dreaming about our wedding all year but the rain had destroyed it.”
On the eve of their big day, the couple still had no venue, and were beginning to wonder if they’d be able to get married at all. That is, until one of their guests suggested exchanging the beachfront for Bunnings.
“I was shocked into silence,” admits Natasja, when her maid-of-honour’s mum, Shelly, suggested holding it at the local Bunnings where Shelly worked.
“She explained my predicament to the store manager and he gave it the green light – as long as it was alcohol free.”
