Runaway dress: Time running out as London, Ont. woman hopes for wedding day miracle
Global News
Lorena Pereira and Norman Louis began travelling to Toronto Pearson Airport early Thursday morning for their wedding when they noticed some of their luggage was missing.
A nightmare has become reality for a London, Ont., bride-to-be after her wedding dress fell out of a van and is now missing just days before her international wedding.
Lorena Pereira and Norman Louis have been together for 6.5 years and began travelling to Toronto Pearson Airport from London early Thursday morning in preparation for their weekend wedding in Lago Di Garda, Italy.
But as the couple arrived at the airport, the pair noticed that some of their luggage was missing, including a black carry-on bag that contained Pereira’s wedding dress.
Simas told Global News that the dress was sent to Robert Q London – a company that provides transportation services to and from Pearson Airport and Detroit Metro Airport to various locations in Southern Ontario – and was to be delivered to Pereira and Louis when they arrived in Toronto.
However, Simas said the dress was “misplaced in a sequence of events.”
“The van was not properly locked,” she said. “We guess that it’s more likely to be in London, but we are not sure.”
In a statement to Global News, Helen Wieler, operations manager with Robert Q Airbus confirmed that they “were immediately made aware of this situation.”
“There was a door malfunction on the vehicle,” the statement continued. “This incident has taken top priority for our team since the initial report. We are continuing to actively search for the missing luggage.”
