Wow, this couple have surely sparked your interest on Facebook this week! Anita sent me over her wonderful wedding photos from Steffen Beck Photographie just before I went on holiday and I’ve been itching to get it up and show you! It looked like such a fun day!

The story how we met and started dating is something I really like to tell. I had a phase when I really hated men, because of being single for ages and being heartbroken many many times. One Friday night, me and my friends met at my place and we planned to go to Speyer (which is 50 km away from the city where I lived) to eat burgers at a really nice american diner, Flaming Star, and meet with a friend there and go out afterwards to a metal club. 

The very cool part about our story is the moment we saw each other for the first time. Later we went to this diner, I climbed up the stairs, and then there he was. It was really like in a movie. I saw him and went “Booom”. He was there with the friends we wanted to met with.

He told me afterwards, he was sitting there with his boys and told them that he had broke up with his evil girlfriend and wanted to be free and single now.. Then he looked over to the stairs and there were a few girls coming up them and there was this girl with a red hair band (guess who?) and then said “she’s mine”.

I always thought it wasn’t true and he told me that, because I am his girlfriend, but his friends told me once how he reacted when he saw me the first time. One wedding card even said “When Steve saw you the first time, he said “She’s mine” and now you are!”

I’m back in the UK! YEA!! I’d love to be sunning it up still but unfortunately I’ve had to come home. 

I love anatomical tattoos (I have one myself), especially of hearts. I came across this epic spark plug heart from Rich Wells of Dock Street Tattoos in Leeds on Instagram this week and I just had to share it with you!

Dawn and Jason had a low key wedding at San Francisco’s city hall, followed by a reception at Kingfish Restaurant and drinks at Lucky 13 with photography by Bri McDaniel.

We met the old fashioned way… Online. We were 95% matched. The site has the option to rate people, which generates an email saying one of these people just rated you. I remember thinking, “I hope it’s the hot one.” He emailed once I rated him back. Dripping with romance, I know! We started exchanging texts, had a bit of a hiccup and met a month later. Our first date was a Jim Breuer show.

The low key aspect of our wedding definitely represented us well. We wanted it simple, yet fun. Private City Hall ceremony, lunch with our family followed by a celebration at our favourite bar for all our friends. The best was hearing, “Best wedding I’ve ever been to” by multiple people. It was a long day but we were able to incorporate all the aspects we wanted while still not breaking the bank.
