A Viking Manor Wedding on Friday 13th – Emily & Jamie

Today on Marry Me Ink, I have the amazing Viking wedding of Emily & Jamie from Sky Photography who were married earlier this year (Before the Pandemic hit) at the beautiful Dodford Manor, complete with their pup in tow.

Emily & Jamie are teenage sweethearts, meeting when they just 13 and 14. Two of Emily’s friend also fancied Jamie at the time, but he chose Emily because, in his words, she had the “Best Ass”.

“There was essence of Viking hidden everywhere, we cut our wedding cake with an axe, had a shield as decoration, a chocolate skull on top of our cake. We also had Viking horns on our table, statement chairs & everyone’s wedding favours had “Skol” on, which everyone said all day instead of cheers. I also love that our first dance song was a Bullet for my Valentine song and we went full nostalgia youth on that shit.

I made pretty much everything, for me the most fun to do was the save the dates, invitations, name cards, table setting, I use to be a designer so creating bits in illustrator is one of my favourite things to do. I also loved making the wedding favours, centre pieces and decorations in front of the table plan.”

“Our favourite parts of the day included when none of the guests knew that Jamie’s middle name is Leslie, so when doing the vows, the registrar clocked that he was saying his middle name really quietly so she shouted it, and in the end, it was just me and the registrar shouting Leslie whenever we could.
The guests were clapping and cheering 5 minutes into our ceremony and it really just set the scene for the whole day.

We also spontaneously had a Viking horn chugging session at dinner, I love the fact that the mums got involved – It probably wasn’t the best choice at the very beginning of a pandemic.. It was called the corona-horn the next day.”

A DIY Deli Wedding On The Welsh Coast – Claire & Charis

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you this beautiful Welsh coast wedding from amazing photography and alternative film team When Charlie Met Hannah. Brides Claire and Charis met online over 10 years ago where their first date included Claire spilling a cup of tea all over herself. They got married at the cute Cobbles Kitchen & Deli on the Vale of Glamorgan Coast and made a gorgeous back drop to their day.

We’re quite laid-back and not exactly traditional I guess you could say. There were loads of little things in our day to represent us; from our boots and Harry Potter socks, to the music that we love, to the cake (brownies for Charis and blondies for Claire). The whole thing was about us, what we like, what we enjoy together and who we are.

As far as DIY elements in our wedding there were lots. I spent ages writing up chalk signs and spray painting tins, to hold the flowers that lined our aisle. Charis made the little bride cake toppers from Prosecco corks, and drinking Prosecco is always fun!

A Natural & Romantic Styled Shoot – The Tetley, Leeds

I hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend? Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you this gorgeous styled shoot from Your Choice Photography that took place at The Tetley in Leeds. The Tetley is part of Leeds history, and is a little bit of old meets new with redesign inside which makes for a lovely backdrop and versatile enough for any couple.

Jordan & Jamie have been together some years now, and travelled over from Birmingham to take part in the beautiful shoot. Jamie models in the alternative industry and had just the look that I was after… she is really authentic and very sweet. Jordan is a guitarist in ‘Failure Is An Option’ and the pair give off this natural sweet, but rock ‘n’ vibe!

All the styling on the day was by Add Vintage, Emily created some beautiful looks which were incredible when combined with the illuminations from Love Lights The Way.

A Tattooed Gamer Wedding In Lancashire – Lianne & Dan

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you an awesome Northern wedding from Tattooed Wedding Photography. Lianne and Dan got married at Garstang Country Hotel and had nerdy elements such as a Pokeball ring box. What a great way to combine a classic “white wedding” with their own personality.

The whole day was amazing. My highlight was probably seeing Dan’s face when I walked down the aisle. I’ve never seen him look so happy. Dan’s says his highlight was when we were saying the vows and I was holding his hand, he could tell I was nervous and excited at the time. Also having the music we love playing in the evening.

I knew I didn’t want a dress with a lace top or sleeves so my tattoos could be seen better. I went dress shopping with an open mind, tried loads on and my maid of honour burst into tears when I tried this one on so I knew I had a winner.
