Hundreds of people poured through the doors of the Old Library in Whangarei over the weekend for the Northern Advocate’s Weddings in Northland 2014 Expo. The two-day expo had everything the budding bride and groom could need for their big day with plenty of exhibitors, live entertainment and even two couples — Caroline and Andrew Davis and John and Claire Lynch — renewing their vows. Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along too.
