It was meant to be the happiest day of their lives. But an early morning phone call on Friday, June 17, threatened to turn a fairytale into a nightmare for Lowri Jones and her husband-to-be Mark Bernard.
The Dunvant, Swansea, couple's wedding day had finally arrived, and they were due to tie the knot at Ocean View in Gower. That was until a large fire at the Llanrhidian venue threw the whole day into jeopardy. But, like all fairytales, for the couple at least, this story had a happy ending.
Lowri was staying at one of her parents' houses when she received a call breaking the news of the incident. The fire broke out at Ocean View at 5.27am and six fire appliances were sent to tackle the blaze, which started at 5.27am. The public were warned to avoid the area and local residents were told to keep their doors and windows closed. An investigation is currently underway into the cause of the fire.
