Society Wedding in Armley

The Lady Mayoress was extremely honoured to be amongst the guests at the coolest wedding of the year!

Armley has been glowing with wonderful happenings

this last few days, and yet again the uniqueness of our sizzling citizens has not failed to inspire the newspapers. Beautiful Jane Scroggie became Mrs Jane Zanzottera at the weekend marrying her dashing partner Pete. And boy did they travel in style...Both the Yorkshire Post and Evening Post turned up to capture the special day as Pete and Jane boarded the No 16 bus to and from their wedding at the Town Hall. Jane was resplendantly dressed in a bespoke scarlet gown designed by the up and coming Selina Nightingale (whom we will be featuring shortly on these pages) To read more of the coverage please click through to the Armley Today website
