It’s surrounded by memories of her late mother, who never got to share her own wedding dress because it was lost in a fire.
But in a series of unfortunate events, McQuaid’s dress was accidentally donated to charity after she lent it to a friend who was recently engaged.
Now she is keen to get it back.
She believes it was given to Lower Hutt Salvation Army.

A lot of (expensive) re-development is scheduled for the riverbank much of which is reputed to be to safeguard the Hutt Valley from future floods.
In the 1960's at least, and probably earlier and later than the 60's, shingle was bulldozed from the river regularly which kept the river bed at a safe level and provided protection when the river did rise. And it did then and still does. The shingle was processed by River Shingle & Sand and later Winstones for the construction industry.
We still build homes and commercial buildings don't we? Where do we get the mix for infill and concrete from? Not only are we ignoring a product that is useful and readily available but the removal of it helps to safeguard our community.
I am curious to hear from people think. Many would not even know that the riverbed shingle has a use. Look at the steadily rising level of the riverbed next time you drive by or take the dog for a walk. A major flood may not be that far away.

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

"North Island saddleback/ tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater) at Bushy Park (Whanganui) on 29 September. They are very quick like tui, but they tend to spend most of their time on the dark forest floor or in the lower canopy, so can be tricky to photograph in good light. Bird #67 in 2023 (slowly chugging my way towards 100 species photographed in 2023)."
Hi Neighbourly folk, I know it is not Friday but this picture is too good not to use. The question is what is it? The clue is that it was taken by Kelson based photographer Andrew Gorrie.

Hutt Valley Police investigating the death of Craig McKelvie are continuing to appeal for information to assist in identifying those involved in the incident.

The details:
- Craig McKelvie, 52, was found seriously injured at a Mason Street address in Lower Hutt on Friday 14 October 2022, and passed away from his injuries in hospital a short time later.
- At this stage, no one has been charged in relation to the death.
Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Todd has shared:
As a result of extensive enquiries over the past year, the investigation team are confident we understand the reasons that led to Mr McKelvie’s death. We continue to investigate with the hope we can hold those responsible accountable for their actions and provide his family with answers.
Where loyalties have previously prevented you from speaking, we ask you to reconsider what is gained from remaining quiet when Mr McKelvie’s family remain in the dark over the death of their loved one. I know there are a lot of people out there, some being friends of Mr McKelvie, who know what happened and have the crucial information relating to his death and I urge you to contact Police.
We recognise Mr McKelvie had a colourful history which has been recounted since his death. Regardless, no one deserves to die in the manner that he did. He has a mother, father, sister and brother who saw and know a different side to Mr McKelvie – one of a cheeky, respectful, loyal, caring, and loving son and brother.
Statement from the family of Craig McKelvie:
The family describes Craig as someone who always lived life on the edge, he was on the move from the moment he entered the world. His cheeky charm and caring side was unique to Craig. His death is a tragedy to his family and close friends.Those who truly knew Craig knew they had a loyal friend who would give the shirt off his back to help you and your family.
We urge those who have information that may help get justice for Craig to do the right thing and come forward with information.
Anyone with information can contact police on 105 quoting phone number 221015/8888. Information can also be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
