March 1, 2001 17:02: JANE Worrow is the Bucks Free Press Bride of the Year and as this picture shows she and her fiance Ed Pearce were more than just delighted.

Jane, of Wycombe End, Beaconsfield, entered our search in the Wedding Belles magazine for a beautiful bride to be in the year 2001, little knowing that she would be our winner at the Bucks Free Press Wedding Fayre hosted at the De Vere Bellhouse Hotel, Oxford Road, Beaconsfield on Sunday.

Her prize of a £500 gift voucher to spend at Beau Belles, a night's stay at Stoke Park Club, flowers by Fiorentina and a two tier wedding cake courtesy of Connie's Cakes left her dazed.

"I'm amazed," she said. "It's such a wonderful surprise."

Ed breathed a sign of relief. He said: "I knew Jane had won about a month ago when the Wedding Fayre organiser Sue Whapshott called to tell me. But this has been the hardest secret I've ever had to keep."

Organiser Sue Whapshott said: "We're so happy they've won just in time for their big day on May 18. It has been successful too for all our exhibitors with more than 200 brides visiting the fayre."
