Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you Devin & Taylor’s wedding from Lauren Hawkins Photography – I came across their wedding online and had to know more about it. From Devin’s red dress to their photos on the water – I love all of it (Plus.. How they met is amazing!)
We first saw each other through a window at the seal rescue clinic at Mystic Aquarium where we both worked at the time. We weren’t able to actually speak to each other due to sound proof glass; just smile and wave. So over the next few days we both hoped to run into each other at work but somewhere without quarantine walls and a window we could only communicate by charades. After a few days went by we ran into each other at a night event. Devin was working and I had a 10pm seal feed. In our awkward attempt at flirting, Devin offered dessert and I offered a baby seal.
The next time we met at the window I finally had the courage to give Taylor my number so I ran to the back gate to meet them there. However, when I got there Taylor beat me to it and nervously asked me if they could give me their number. Me, trying to play it cool but failing left the piece of paper with my name and number on it in my back pocket, completely going deer in the headlights. I was so excited I was grinning like an idiot and walked completely past the doors to get inside as staff were laughing at me.
After asking Devin out about 4 times our schedules finally matched up and she said yes. We missed the movie because I was nervous babbling the whole time and for some strange reason she found the entire thing to be endearing. The second time I was so nervous I burnt the popcorn and the pizza. She just laughed and said it wasn’t that bad. The third time the picnic I had planned got rained out so we had sandwiches in the living room and made flower crowns. I think our first few dates involved a lot of nervous chatting and very little food. But they were full of laughter and we wouldn’t change a thing.
