Royal Wedding Boosts Numbers Joining Dating Agencies in Search of Love This Valentine's Day!

LONDON, February 11, 2011 - With the most important Royal wedding in the UK since 1981 just under 3
months away, singles are turning to dating agencies in their droves according
to the dating industry's watchdog, the Association of British Introduction
Agencies.

Chairman of the Association, Heather Heber-Percy, says, " People are fed
up with the doom and gloom of the credit crunch and all the negative news
surrounding it. The Royal wedding has given them something to look forward
to; it has lifted the nation's spirits and made people feel there is more to
life than struggling to pay the bills. This has especially become evident in
the surge in the numbers of singles enquiring about joining our member
agencies. They say they were prompted to do so since the Royal wedding was
announced in November last year. Who knows; maybe 2011 might be a bumper year
for wedding announcements!"
