Video: Cop rescues bride from wedding day flood

BOGOTA: Police were in the right place at the right time for a bride and groom stranded in New Jersey floodwaters Saturday.

More than an inch of rain flooded Bogota, New Jersey, within an hour’s time, bringing floodwaters from upstream to more than four feet high, according to police.

Due to the quickly rising flood waters, a bride, her new husband and wedding party “got a rough start on things,” per the Bogota Police Department.

“The fortunate thing is we were able to help them through their first rough patch,” the department posted on Facebook.

With the help of a Humvee, the newly married couple and its friends were soon on their way.

“We hope the bride and groom had a great wedding day and we wish nothing but the best for them,” the department wrote in a follow-up post on Facebook.
