There could probably be no more of a heart-sinking feeling for a bridesmaid at a wedding abroad than to arrive at the hotel and realise that you've forgotten a key item - the dress. That's exactly what happened to Lauren Fernandes, 29, who was performing the role for bride Gemma O'Shea, 31, in Cyprus.
The wedding party had arrived at the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort in Paphos when Lauren realised her bridesmaid's dress wasn't in her luggage. Gemma's wedding planner put a hopeful call out on a TUI staff Facebook group to see whether anyone flying to Paphos could help.
It was seen by TUI cabin crew regional manager, who wasn't working but spotted that there was a flight leaving Newcastle for Larnaca within hours. And so the race began to save the day, reports ChronicleLive.
