April Harvey tells the daily news about her wedding to husband Joe.

My dad goes away and then comes back out with this huge chainsaw and says we can cut the cake with this...It was quite a farm wedding.

Despite the drama of her own wedding day, April and her Mother see the Bridal competition as another chance shine. In it's 27th year the Taranaki Bridal Competition allows brides to compete against one another is 6 categories: Traditional, lifestyle, contemporary, personality, avant garde and audience choice. I personally think it would be quite awesome "stylewise" to watch all the brides at once in one place. Be sure to read the rest of April and Joe's story lest you miss the other nuggets like this one describing her long drive to the church.

We pulled over and jacked it up, but had no wire to fix it with, so we had to pull the bobby pins out of our hair.
