Bride of the Year







By Elsje Vermeulen
Vaalweekblad, a very popular community newspaper in the Vaal Triangle (Gauteng, South Africa) crowned the 2007 Bride of the Year at a glamorous event held at Quest Conference Centre last Friday evening (February 23). More photos available at www.flickr.com/photos/snapattack2
After three of the twelve finalists withdrew from the competition, nine beauties strutted their stuff on the runway in front of the judges and spectators.
But as soon as Bernadine Bender made her first appearance, it was basically game, set and match. This stunning blond, with a down to earthy outlook on life and bubbly personality was well deservedly crowned as the 2007 Vaalweekblad Bride of the Year.
Two very striking brunettes took second and third spot: Rochelle de Beer was crowned first princess and Suzaan Nell as second princess.
During the evening even the grooms has a chance on the runway. Without knowing it, they were also secretly judged. Jeffrey van Staden was the man of the moment.
