Ghost Town

As you may have read from a previous post, I visited quite a few bridal shops in Northern Ireland while deciding on 'The One'. As I was driving past Forever Bridal, Finaghy I seen one of them in the window and my heart did a little flip. Not because I wished I'd picked that dress, but because going in hopeful, trying on dresses and going home and thinking them over, breeds an emotional attachment. Perhaps that's why that girl ended up with 9 dresses on her wedding day! It reminds me of that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie talks about the ghosts of relationships past...I now feel like greater Belfast is littered with the flings of dresses I've loved and left! So in the spirit of this I thought I'd share with you the dress that started it all and some of the memorable dresses and where I tried them in the city.

The bride that started it all...
