A Muddy, Enchanting DIY Wedding – Mariah & Nathan

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you Mariah and Nathan’s DIY wedding from Miss Lyss Photography that took place at her family’s house. It rained the whole day and their idea of an outdoor wedding quickly became a muddy one. 

If you want me to be honest, the whole day was the highlight of the wedding for me. I really didn’t think it was going to turn out as well as it did because it was pouring for the whole day and we had the wedding in a tent at my grandparents’ house and it was just so freaking muddy out there. We had to improvise for a lot of stuff last minute. So many people helped in making it special and moving stuff around to accommodate the rain. From start to finish it was the best day ever. I am so thankful for everyone and how much was put into it.

The entire wedding was basically done by the family DIY style. I think the only real thing we didn’t DIY was the DJ and the Flowers.  The whole theme was vintage and 1920’s style. We tried extremely hard to stick to I that concept and it was hard finding stuff that fit that so we did a lot.  Continue reading

My husband, Geoff, and I met through MySpace in 2008. He added me as a friend and I’m not one to just accept requests from people I don’t personally know so I emailed him and politely asked who he was and he said he saw that I was into Volkswagens, I had worked for a Volkswagen dealership at the time, and that struck his interest. He said I was pretty and he wanted to get to know me.  We exchanged emails for a while and then moved to talking on the phone and finally decided to meet.  He worked for an auto parts retailer and I decided to go there after work one day and I immediately knew he was something special. Talking to him on the phone I had an idea of what type of man he was and I was excited to get to meet him and see how he was in person. Later, he told me that I “intimidated” him when we first met because I was wearing high heels and looked professional, since I had just come from work, and that wasn’t something he was used to. We decided to get together after he got off work and we just spent the entire night talking. We first went to a local Mexican restaurant and then it got so late we ended up going to a 24-hour grocery store just so we could keep talking and hanging out, neither of us wanted to go home!
