Bridget Devaney, based in Killarney, County Kerry, organized a trip for 11 women from the US, Canada, and Wales to celebrate her “non-wedding” after her fiancé suffered a medical emergency. The women, including Janae Pettit and Shana Johnson, answered Bridget’s online invitation to join her in Northern Ireland, where they spent a week exploring and bonding. A photographer, Rob Dight, captured their experience, describing it as “unforgettable” and “wholesome”. The group has since planned a reunion and considers themselves “lifelong friends”.
