About Me

My photo
Hello and welcome. I'm a bride in Belfast who grew up on Father of the Bride and dreams of a wedding at the Plaza or an outdoor ceremony in a private home in Nantucket. I've big dreams and a little budget. So with this blog I hope to share with you how I'm trying to get a very personal, bespoke, luxurious wedding in Northern Ireland with a little budget squeezing and creativity. Or as I have come to see it a Vera Wang wedding on a Walmart budget.

First Dance...

I'm really in a pickle about the first dance song...you see we have 'songs' of our relationship but to date they have included Queens of the Stone Age when my fiancĂ© was a little tipsy and played it on repeat and told me he loved me....The Black Keys concert...when I returned the feeling. We have Metallica from two great concerts (which I don't think I would have ever considered until we met)...so you can see the pattern here not exactly first dance material! Along the way we have also encountered some music with great fun and meaning such as John Prine, In Spite of Ourselves (to rude for family I think), Home, Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros (too quick and jumpy) and Joshua Radin, Today which is beautiful if a little slow and quiet to one of my favourites so far, 'With this ring' by The Platters. Anyway, still totally undecided. In the meantime I'm also on the hunt for reasonably priced dance classes...have been calling the Crescent Arts Centre & Clarkes Dance Studio to date. I think if we combine the right song and the right teacher we might get there! Will keep you posted.
