Biggest Yet
The 2009 Your Wedding Exhibition (YWE) was the biggest wedding exhibition ever held in Aberdeen, both in terms of the number of exhibitors and visitors. Over the weekend of 17/18th January over 3000 visitors came through the doors to benefit from the over 160 businesses showing their wares.
Bridal Babes
BRIDAL BABIES The 15th January was obviously an auspicious day to have a baby! Leigh-Anne of Avorio Bridal gave birth to Kobie (9lbs 4oz) and Amanda Wright of Belmont Bridal gave birth to Owen Thomas (8lbs 4oz). Congratulations to them both.
