For Rosy Harray, finding a chapel to get married in was not a problem. She had already built her own.

It took her 1500 hours and cost $5000 but her final project as a fine arts student at the Otago Polytechnic in 2006 looked "amazing", she said.

Rosy (23) and Tim Petterson (25) will be married today at the A and P Showgrounds in Mosgiel in the wire chapel which is 5m high, 6m wide and 8m long.

The inspiration came from her trips to Europe where she saw many old churches.

The wire sculpture had been on display in Auckland three weeks ago and was brought back down to Dunedin by truck in time for their wedding.
