According to the BBC, a vindictive bride has been ordered to pay $115,000 in damages after unleashing an online attack against a wedding photographer. Canadian bride Emily Liao spent almost a year posting disparaging comments about the services provided by photography company Amara Wedding. The judge found Ms Liao attacked the business owner’s integrity “with all her might” and was motivated by malice after being disappointed with the quality of her pre-wedding pictures.
UK reality TV show, Dancing on Ice had a fairy tale theme this week and presenter, Holly Willoughby got the memo. Holly wore a white gown by Half Penny London, which could easily pass as a wedding gown; it featured a strapless corseted top, cinched-in waist and beautiful layers of tulle which draped to the floor. We like!
That’s it for this week. See you next week for more wedding news weekly updates.
