Hen Mania

WATCH out Magaluf - hen mania is heading your way!

A gaggle of 48 women are jetting off to the Spanish resort on Friday for what could well be the biggest hen party ever organised in Wales.
When Rachel Ham, 26, decided to tie the knot with childhood sweetheart Damian Walsh, 28, she naturally wanted her friends to help her celebrate.
But with seven best friends she's known since the age of four, 15 pals from South Wales Police, where she is a CID sergeant, and various other friends and relatives joining her, the tally has spiralled.

Lifelong friend Joanne Churcher, who lives a few doors away from Rachel in Cedar Grove, Fairwater, Cardiff, said: 'It has been a massive headache organising it but it will be worth it and we are going to have a brilliant time. We were originally going to go to Prague, but when the boys said they were going to Magaluf for the stag do, we thought we'd go there two weeks before them!'

The girls are flying from Cardiff International Airport on Friday morning and returning on Monday.
Friend Lucy Sullivan added: 'Eight of us in the party met at Holy Family Primary School when we were four and have been best friends ever since. Most of us live in Fairwater and are always popping round to each others' houses.
'We have been through everything together and now Rachel is the first one of the gang to get married.'

Rachel and Damian are due to be married on May 28 at St Mary's Church in Canton, followed by a reception at Cardiff's Thistle Hotel.
