Evgenia Kalkandzhieva, top model and fashion guru, said "I do" to her beloved and much younger boyfriend Stefan Manov at a fairytale wedding in Sofia on Friday.

Excitement from the new life and new dreams ahead could be seen in the eyes of all the guests at Saint George church, who applauded Zheni's stylish violet wedding dress.

A total of 20 bridesmaids, some of whom have been named Miss Bulgaria in the last decade, held the long train of her gown and showered the couple with coloured rice.

Evgenia Kalkandzhieva founded and has been managing Bulgaria's most successful fashion agency Visages for over a decade, discovering and promoting some of the country's best-known fashion beauties in the world.

In 1995 Kalkandzhieva was crowned Miss Bulgaria and ranked sixth at the follow-up Miss World contest, making her the best model the country has ever had.
