A GOLD Coast cleaner has gone from almost calling off her wedding day to Cinderella celebrating with her prince charming – thanks to dozens of generous local businesses.
Devastated by the Binna Burra fires last year Keiran and Renee Small had been left without income and a wedding venue just months before they were due to tie the knot.
Dependant on a cleaning contract for the since destroyed Skylodges at the Binna Burra site the couple were close to cancelling their special day.
That was until more than a dozen local businesses stepped in to deliver the wedding of their dreams – which they celebrated last weekend on 22.02.20.
