Unfortunately, the region as ravaged by fires as over 170 guests were forced to abandon the wedding. Within hours the wedding was evacuated and plan B was put into place. Everyone headed over to the new romantic setting of a local pub, The Crown Hotel in Buninyong.

Mrs Cehic wrote on social media “We are devastated but also touched by the amazing support.”
