The bride and groom, 25 and 26 respectively, opted for a wedding cruise in North Queensland. \u201cWe invited 43 of our closest friends and family and booked in a seven-night cruise to the Whitsundays, stopping in to Port Douglas for the day to exchange vows,\u201d explains Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>But the November 19, 2014 wedding took an interesting turn when the ship became delayed, meaning there was no longer time to stop in Port Douglas. \u201cThis is every bride\u2019s nightmare and I had less than 24 hours to replan my whole wedding,\u201d explains Sarah. \u201cNot to mention I had stranded guests in Brisbane with no accommodation because of the G20 summit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But after \u201ca few deep breaths\u201d and a \u201csmall bridezilla\u201d moment, the couple reshuffled plans to instead make a drop off in Cairns where all would travel an hour north to get to the chapel. Sacrifices were still made, however, with the bridal party doing their own make-up and a friend jumping in\u00a0on hair duties. But after the long drive, the bridal party needed a refresh, so they chose\u2026the bathroom of a local police station. \u201cAll the staff were very helpful and understanding and even let us have pictures with them&#8230;they were my something blue!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of\u00a0<a title=\"Blue Sky Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyphotography.net.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Blue Sky Photography.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-72430\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_010-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_010\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-72513 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_SBS_009.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_SBS_009\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-72503 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_SBS_003.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_SBS_003\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-72433\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_012.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_012\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-72468\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_029.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_029\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-72540\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_001.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah_Daniel_Beach-Wedding_001\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sarah &amp;
