The groom, Scott Gooding, said in a statement to the Sydney Morning Herald: "The family is safe and that is the most important thing." The fires were raging in the immediate vicinity of the family's home.

"But a house 300 meters away from where we were planning to get married was lost in the fires, we really had no choice but to move it given what has happened up there," Scott Gooding continued.
