Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te marama o Hui-tanguru o tēnei tau, i kitea e Adele McKenzie te kākahu i moemoea ai ia kia mau i a ia i tana marenatanga ki tana hoa mo nga tau e iwa, ki a David Elliot. Kaore ia i mohio kaore ia e whai waahi ki te mau, ahakoa kua utua e ia te hawhe. I kii te 31-tau te pakeke i tana urunga ki te kakahu lacy ma, i kite tonu ia i a ia e tu ana i mua o ona hoa me te whanau me te whakawhiti i nga kupu whakaari marena me te aroha o tona ao. "Kua moemoea ahau mo tenei kakahu rangatira mai i te mea he kotiro iti ahau", i kii ia ki a Daily Mail Ahitereiria. I whakaritea a Adele McKenzie ki te marena ki te aroha o tona oranga, a David Elliot, i te mea i tino pouri ia ki te ako kua kati te kamupene marena i utua e ia mo te $ 1,000 mo tana kakahu. I kii a Ms McKenzie kaore i taea e ia te hoko i te kakahu $ 2,000 na reira i whakarite ia i tetahi mahere utu me <unk>The Bridal Centre<unk>. I timata ia ki te utu i te marama o Hui-tanguru, a, i whakamahere ia ki te utu i tana kakahu i te marama o Hōngongoi - tata ki te toru marama i mua i tana marena - ka hoatu ki a ia te wa ki te whakarereke. I te tīmatanga o Aperira, ka pakaru te moemoea kākahu a Ms. McKenzie i tana whakatuwheratanga i tētahi īmēra mai i te kamupene marena e kī ana kua pau rātou. I kii a Ms McKenzie ki a Daily Mail Ahitereiria i mahue ia i te ahua o te 'riri' me te 'riri' i a ia e anga ana ki te rongo ka hiahia ia ki te rapu kakahu marena hou mo tana ra nui. Ko taku urupare tuatahi ko te waea atu ki te Whare Wānanga, ā, i noho pūmau tonu i te mutunga wiki roa. He kaha to rātau Facebook, ā, ka whakairi mātou i ngā pou, kāore he urupare.' Ko te whārangi Facebook o te Pokapū Kāhui Kāne i whakakiia ki ngā karere mai i ngā wahine marena hou kua pouri nei, kua whakaritea kētia e rātau ō rātau ngākau ki tētahi kākahu marena. Ko Ms McKenzie tētahi o ngā wahine marena 140 i whiwhi i te īmēra <unk>generic<unk> e whakamōhio ana ki a rātau kāore pea e tae mai a rātau kākahu moemoeā, ko ētahi o rātau me ō rātau kākahu marena i ētahi wiki noa iho. I whakamātau ia ki te haere ki te paetukutuku o te Whare Wānanga, engari i whakakorehia, ā, i reira ia i mōhio ai, kāore he huarahi hei whakapā atu ki te kamupene kua utua e ia te $1,000, hei utu ki te utu...
I kati ohorere te Whare Wānanga, i Brisbane, i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama. Tata ki te 140 nga wahine marena hou i mahue ki waho o te putea me te kore kakahu. I waihangahia e rātau he whārangi Facebook e kīia ana 'Where's My Dress' kia taea ai e ngā wāhine te hono atu, me te whakamātau ki te kimi huarahi kē ki te tiki i tō rātau kākahu moemoea. I tīmata ngā kamupene wahine me ngā kamupene marena ki te tuku kākahu ki ngā wāhine. Ko Adele McKenzie tētahi o ngā wāhine kua mahue kore he kākahu. I kii ia ko te huarahi i tukinotia ai nga wahine marena hou he 'he whakama' He maha nga wahine marena hou kua uru ki nga papaaho pāpori ki te patu i te kamupene kua pahua.
