The couple were busy getting ready separately today. The 4.30pm ceremony was on higher ground and then they'd move to the marquee for the reception. They would carefully watch high tide, which is due at 11pm.
The bride's father Gary Guernier said they would continue on as best as they could.
"We'll carry on, we're Kiwis. It's supposed to be good luck isn't it?

Guernier believed a few guests had had to cancel because of the weather but close to 100 would still show up. Fortunately, no one was camping. He said the water hadn't been so high since the waterway was put in 30 years ago.
