Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you tattooed bride Fran and Lewis’ Halloween wedding and handfasting from favourite Assassynation Photography. Fran wore a stunning Couture Company leopard print dress and then everyone went back home for a  movie and pizza – PERFECT!

How did we meet.. The gym (I told my best friend I was going to marry him and have his babies). We wouldn’t speak to each other there so I messaged him on POF. We spoke for months then arranged a date to take our dogs for a walk. We went to Cannock chase for our first date – a popular place for dogging at night time (We tell everyone we went dogging on the chase for our first date!!)

Everything represented us at the wedding. My heartagram on the belt and Lewis tattoo heartagram on his wedding Finger. Our favourite band had to be in there somewhere. Having the cats there was so important to us. And watching Pet Semetary at home with pizza really represented us as a couple. Everything we did was completely us.

A Glastonbury Abbey Handfasting – Heather & Wayne

Today  I get to share with you Heather & Rob’s beautiful outdoor handfasting ceremony at Glastonbury Abbey from Marry Me Ink sponsor Kelly J Photography.

I always think of Wayne as my Knight in Shining armour, and he treats me like his Queen. So having our handfasting at the iconic Glastonbury Abbey, burial place of King Arthur & his queen Guinevere- was really symbolic. We even used Wayne’s large ornamental sword in the ceremony.

We chose a pagan handfasting instead of a traditional Christian church ceremony. A lovely Interfaith female Minister Nixie James-Scott from Unique Ceremony worked with us to create something personal and unusual.

We wrote our own vows, and Nixie’s husband, Palmer Fox-Eldridge (a music legend who’s performed at Glastonbury festival), played a live acoustic version of his song ‘Valentine’ as our hands were bound in a purple and gold cord. Our children lit my special goddess incense, then played around in the orchard during the ‘boring’ bits.

I decided to choose an untraditional flowing purple fairy-goddess dress, with sheer sleeves and a low cut top- so my arm and breast tattoos could be seen.
