About four weeks ago, today’s tattooed groom Jordan posted multiple photos to the Marry Me Ink Facebook page and I was astounded – Firstly, because it’s usually the brides and the photographers that contact me to feature their wedding. Jordan is the first, of hopefully many grooms, to contact Marry Me Ink to feature their wedding. And secondly, because their wedding photos from Chris Glenn Photography are beautiful!
The date that we met is not 100% known, for she was my bartender, and I was hers. I (Jordan) used to go to Steph’s bar, order a drink from her, and skip out because I was too nervous to actually speak to her besides ordering my usual gin and tonic.. One day before she moved to California she came into my bar and sat at a table drinking margaritas and eating tacos. I told her friend Matt “I’m going to make out with that kid before we move!” so we took a shot together and exchanged numbers.
I got blasted and blew her off. I thought I’d ruined every chance I had… Well thankfully the next day, she responded to my text and agreed to meet up with me that night at our local watering hole in Orlando Florida “The Lodge”. We hung out in the crows nest with all our friends who happened to be a lot of mutual ones, and just talked and had cocktails.. The night didn’t end there, we went back to her apartment and she showed me some of her art in person (stephwoodpaints.com) then just chit chatted some more. We still weren’t tired so we walked to my apartment, hopped on some bikes and legit rode until the sun came up.. We then watched a Silversun Pickups Unplugged video, and kissed to “lazy eye” which is our song now, and ever since that day we haven’t left each others side.
There were two highlights for me on our wedding day – The first time I saw Steph in her wedding dress getting out of the limo to walk down the aisle, I damn near lost everything I had in me. And secondly, our first dance. We danced to City and Colour’s “We Found Each Other In The Dark” but I had one of my best friends interrupt the dance and acoustically play “lazy eye” for us.
So I’m currently travelling up to Scotland to walk the West Highland Way for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (See yesterday’s post!).
I’m also still very much in love with the awesome Constance Parkin’s work. This is a set of amazing alternative cameos!
Be sure to go and follow @Constancetattooer on her Instagram! (I’ve also got something super exciting coming from Constance myself. You’ll just have to wait and find out what it is!
For those who don’t know, tomorrow I’m driving up to Scotland tomorrow to take part the challenging West Highland Way (whilst camping in between).. Yes I know, I’m slightly crazy! For those who also didn’t know, as well as running Marry Me Ink, I have a full time job at the Central Manchester Foundation Trust Hospitals (CMFT) in their inpatient pharmacy. I’m taking part in the West Highland Way to raise money specifically for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, one of the four hospitals at CMFT. I have a Just Giving page and would be truly grateful if so much as donated £1 to a local and worthy cause, to raise money for kids that, very unfortunately, have to stay indoors when we have glorious sunshine and when we’re at home with our loved ones. The support that Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital provides helps families to stay together and support one another during what can be a very difficult time for them. The Charity supports projects which aim to make life a little easier for our young patients and their families, particularly when they have long or frequent stays in hospital.
With your help, we can ensure that Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is not only the largest children’s hospital in the country – but one of the best.
Look – My charity tops arrived this week! @MarryMeInk on Instagram
