BRIDE and GROOM CONTEST

The first ever Bride and Groom of the Year contest was held recently at Vidal’s Vault and Wine Bar, in Hastings. The contest arranged by Photocraft Portraits attracted some 18 brides and their husbands. It was a grand opportunity for brides to have an excuse to wear their beautiful gowns again and as some couples commented, an opportunity for husbands to realise how lovely their brides looked on the wedding day. The winning pair were Royce and Vicky McCutcheon (the fourth couple back in the line). They received a $200 cash prize. Vicky is shown (lower right) after the announcement of the winner.
