Fakeiversary – Personal [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on November 21, 2011 | 5 comments

So, time for a personal post from the Marry Me Ink lady herself..

According to social networking site, Facebook, it is Rob & I’s 1year anniversary since our “engagement”.. I am using dreary quotation marks because I am here to point out that we are NOT engaged – Even though Facey tells you we are..
THIS is because around this week last November, I cooked for the whole household on two separate occasions, including my housemate and his friends. On both of these occasions, I had “wooed” Rob over with my wonderful curries. 

That weekend he presented me with an “Engagement Medallion”.. Something that looked like an over the top Hip Hop chain (You get the idea).

We had to make if “official” I was told, and the next I know, it’s everywhere that we’re “engaged”, much to the bemusement of all my friends who took no time in congratulating us on our latest news. 

To celebrate the first year of our “engagement” I bring you photos from the lovely couples’ shoot by Lisa Brown of when we visited Brighton for a family wedding back in June. It’s been such a fun year of being “engaged”. 

Enjoy! – Rach.XX

(For the record – we did eventually get together on New Years Eve/Day)

Liam & Fiona’s Inky Bicycle Engagement [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on October 18, 2011 | 6 comments


Look what arrived in my inbox! From Laura Babb of this cute picnic wedding complete with bicycles & a trip to a tattoo studio, I couldn’t WAIT to share these images with you!


Liam’s story:

“Fiona and I have been together for about a year and a half, and in January this year we decided that we would like to get married. I say “we decided” as before meeting each other marriage really wasn’t on the cards or in the thoughts of either of us.

The decision to get married was the easy bit… I then had to plan and pull off the proposal. Funny way round of doing things I know but I really wanted to ask Fiona to marry me properly. I decided to cook Beef Wellington, the dish I cooked on our first proper date as she had mentioned it was her favourite.

Date night was on, the Wellington was in the oven, the wine was on the table, all was going well. Trying not to show I was feeling a little nervous as I had never asked anyone such a big question before, I served dinner. We had just started eating I had moved the vintage family ring from my pocket into my hand then some words from Fiona that I really didn’t want to hear “If you’re not going to propose tonight you’re going to find it hard to top this”.

Well that certainly took the element of surprise out of the evening. I tried to regain some composure, managed to get down onto one knee before the tears started “Will you make me happy for the rest of my life? Fiona will you marry me?” then the best word said with tears running down her face “Yes”.

We decided to have a pre and post wedding shoot as Laura Babb, the photographer we wanted to work with, was unable to make it up to Grimsby for our wedding.”

 

From sipping the champagne & eating berries in Brockwell park on a Sunday morning to pushing bicycles & eating cake, Laura captured Liam and Fiona in such a fabulous way! Fiona went and celebrated their engagement by getting a tattoo.. (which Laura also snapped some pictures of!)

Look through the shots to see Fiona’s lovely engagement tattoo & Liam’s epic Frank Turner tee!

Do leave some wonderful comments for Laura and the fantastic couple!

Rachael & Aaron’s Engagement Tattoos [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on October 13, 2011 | 5 comments

I’m very excited to share these tattoos with you today!

Rachael (Spelt the same way as myself – very cool!) and Aaron got engaged in October last year and in April got tattoos on their ring fingers. Rachael say’s “It was a ‘spur of the moment’ thing to celebrate being engaged” and they were both tattooed at Lady Luck Tattoos in Portsmouth by Dean.

Rachael wears a necklace with an “R” on it – Aaron adapted his tattoo to look like the necklace – very sweet, and Rachael chose a carnival-like font which she loves.


Aaron did propose to Rachael with a ring in October last year when they were holidaying in the Caribbean, but with losing weight running up to the wedding – it needs to be re-sized.

The fonts are very cool and a great idea to celebrate being engaged!

I love ring finger tattoos!
