Sugahfix ad gal Naomh McElhatton had quite a fairytale moment when looking for her wedding dress. Here's her princess moment!

Naomh Scullin married Micheal McElhatton on 6th October 2007 in Holy Trinity, Cookstown.
Followed by a reception in the Greenvale Hotel Cookstown, where 300 guests ate, drank and danced until 7am the following morning.
Tell us about 'the dress!: "Being into old movies I knew that I wanted a dress in the style of Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind! One lunchtime Steph Berkeley, Julie Kelly and myself headed into Pronuptia for the craic to see if we could see any dresses. The lady in the store was brilliant I described what I wanted and she took out two dresses.
The first dress was ridiculous but she laughed and told me that she knew I wouldn't like it but then said "Are you ready to see your dress?!" I remember thinking "aye right!".
She put the second dress on and I came out of the changing room, looked in the mirror, my jaw dropped, the hairs on my neck were standing up with complete butterflies in my tummy. I just said ... "That's my dress!"
The deposit was paid there and then and I was measured for my Ian Stuart 'Lucia' gown and would have to wait 9 months for it to come back.
Lucia - was a Romantic gown in silk and metallic French lace, has a strapless neckline with a beaded lace insert. The A-line shape draped body swirls around up to the back bodice and is trimmed with a corsage of hand made silk roses. The lower silk skirt and 'sweep' train has an overlay of metallic French lace, delicately beaded with crystals, sequins and glass beads. The dress has tiny scattered beads throughout.
What was 'the moment' for you? Walking up the isle with Dad and seeing Micheal's face.
Did you feel like a princess? "I felt like a complete princess from the minute I tried on my dress! Four years and two babies later I still smile everytime I think of our wedding! Truly the best day of my life."
