On Saturday 27th April 2013 a record breaking challenge will take place; Brides Across The Bridge will attempt to have 2013 brides dressed in wedding gowns gather in Guildhall Square and cross over Peace Bridge to Ebrington Square in the City of Culture.

‘Brides’ of all ages from all over are needed to come together in a wedding dress to create this unbelievable sight. This amazing event is being organised in aid of Foyle Hospice so come one and come all and enjoy the opportunity to wear your wedding dress once again.

You don’t have to be a bride yourself to take part in this unique event; anyone can do it, brides to be and brides not to be! If your big day is still ahead of you then why not borrow a wedding gown from a friend or wear one belonging to a relative. The wedding dress can also be from any cultural background such as an Indian Sari or Japanese Kimono.

This event was created by a group of local woman in memory of a beloved husband that passed away in 2012 but had benefited from the services provided by Foyle Hospice throughout his illness. The ‘brides’ are asked to pay £10 with proceeds raised going to Foyle Hospice.

‘Brides’ can register at Foyle Hospice Fundraising Centre, Foyle Hospice Shops – Waterloo Place, Limavady, Strabane and Castlederg, Yellow Moon at Richmond Centre or telephone Foyle Hospice on 028 71359888 to register over the phone.

Registration will be open right up to the event however ‘brides’ wishing to take part are advised to register sooner rather than later to receive their information pack and Guinness World Record login slip.
