Shenice Beirne, 28, was on her way to her ceremony venue when the vintage Beauford car she rented broke down on the side of a country road, according to South West News Service – a British news agency.

She told the news outlet she borrowed her chauffeur’s phone and called a few taxi companies, but she had no luck in getting a car sent to her location.

“I don’t think they believed it was my wedding day,” she said in an interview with SWNS.

Eventually, Beirne, her sister and her mother decided hitchhiking would be their best option since they were 25 minutes away from their church. Getting a roundtrip from the car that dropped off Beirne’s bridesmaids would take nearly an hour, Beirne told SWNS. 

The trio reportedly waved down passing cars for 10 to 15 minutes on the backroads of Gloucester before a couple stopped and asked if they needed help.
