Wedding Planning – Choosing Your Wedding Venue

Posted on March 3, 2014 | Comments Off on Wedding Planning – Choosing Your Wedding Venue

Congratulations if you got engaged over the festive period and on Valentine’s Day! Over the past year, Simply Bridal have been supplying me with important infographics to help you plan your perfect day! 

This latest edition is a very important one as this is where most couples spend a big percentage of their wedding budget – THE VENUE.

Covering all important grounds such as how many guests are you likely to be inviting, whether you’ll be planning a destination wedding or if something as simple as wanting an outdoor wedding, Simply Bridal have it covered down to the catering! They’ve also provided a very helpful blog post on what questions you should be asking your venue before you sign the contracts.

That’s right, Marry Me Ink is looking for a new bride for 2014 to be the next Saga after the awesome Swamps.

If you weren’t here last year, then where were you? Swamps treated the lovely readers of Marry Me Ink to monthly instalments of all the trials and tribulations that go into planning the perfect day.

It finally happened! Swamps & Matt got married! I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to share this with you all, and if you’ve been following Swamps’ Sagas Of A Tattooed Bride, then you’ll understand that it had to wait and be the first wedding on Marry Me Ink for 2014!

I’ve absolutely loved sharing Swamps’ journey with you all, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too! Here’s the final instalment!

Firstly, I would like to apologise for how long it has taken me to share my pictures from our big day. I swear I have only just about gotten over my jet lag, and 24 hour fight from our honeymoon. So, now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the bit fat ‘W’. Wedding. Wife. That’s right. I am a WIFE! That is taking some serious getting used to.

When you first get wed, every body you see asks you “How’s married life treating you?” In all honesty, it is exactly the same as boyfriend/girlfriend life, only we are about 12k poorer. Nothing changes, and hey, why would you want it to? Things were great before, and they’re great now!
