Police & Fire Service Make Surprise Appearance at Wedding

The Bermuda Police Service and the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service are used to working together to achieve a favourable outcome - and they did just that recently when they made a special appearance at the wedding of Rebecca Beisel and Jason Stoddard at the Elbow Beach Resort on Wednesday, May 9th 2012 [pictured, click photo to enlarge].

The wedding ceremony took place at 5pm on the beach with the American bride and groom, who work as a firefighter and a police officer respectively on the U.S. East Coast. Right after the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests were directed to a location just off the beach where some photos would be taken. It was only then that the visiting couple and their guests learned that local police officers and firefighters had arrived to wish them well!

Bermuda Police Service Constables Sean Hassell and James Eli, both on police motorcycles were joined by Firefighter Ed Daniels and Firefighter Raymond Masters, who came in a Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service fire engine. The unexpected attendees gladly posed for photos with the bride and groom as well as other wedding guests. The happy couple was also presented with a plaque by the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service, commemorating their special day.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
