Today, I get to share with you the amazing wedding of tattooed brides Anna and Sarah at East Riddlesden Hall from Shelly of Toast Of Leeds – Marry Me Ink’s first same sex wedding feature!
My favourite thing (apart from the dinosaurs and the pirate ship made from hay bales) are the gorgeous dresses they both wore on their special day. Anna’s is a stunning Ian Stuart dress and Sarah’s is a glittering Jenny Packham dress complete with a blush ostrich feather cape from Ted Baker.
After being talked into the online world by a few friends, Sarah spotted me quite quickly and commented on my tattoo and the conversations began. I of course wanted to meet her and thought long and hard about how I could impress such a beauty, so the pub next door it was. The first time I saw her, she was arguing with a parking attendant – I knew this was the girl for me. I played pool to the highest standard (she beat me) and made her laugh with my wit & charisma (she humoured me). Instantly, I could see how gorgeous this little Lancashire lady was so we continued our courtship exploring and going on adventures and seeing plenty of live music together.
Every single bit of our wedding represented us as a couple – from the relaxed atmosphere, to the dinosaurs, pirate ship, lego men, superheros, sweetie table, hotdogs, ghost hunt and of course lots of pie! We choose the music especially our first dance song which was perfect for us and fun and exciting, not a ballad in sight. (You & I – Crystal Fighters)
