“I thought the whole day was insane, but the fact so many people turned up, the weather was incredible and the party atmosphere!”

We actually met through a friend after we were both having the worst day of our lives! Loads of friends went to the pub to have a mid-week drink.

“Initially – I thought he was a complete jumped up idiot, and he thought I was a rude and loud mouthed party girl!”

However, after about ten Sailor Jerries later, we got talking, and by the end of the night I said to my friend Lauren that Tim was the man I was going to marry. (I didn’t think it would happen within two years though!)

“We tried not to have a theme as such, but it was all red, white and black complete with plenty of skulls and lots of tattoos!”

A DIY, Psychobilly Wedding With 1000 Paper Flowers – Steph & Adam

2014-01-19_0205

That’s right – as well as hand crafting all their place mats out of vintage records, Steph & Adam created approximately 1000 roses out of pieces of music sheets.

“It was music that brought us together and shaped our relationship so we tried to work music into every detail we could. We handmade as much as we could to fit the theme.”

Steph and Adam were married at The Riveria Hotel at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth with wonderful photography from Linus Moran. Steph beautifully did her own hair and make up and wore a gorgeous Lusan Mandongus dress and Adam wore a sharp Victor Valentine suit.

Adam and I met through mutual friends who were looking to form a Psychobilly band. Adam played double bass and I sang so we both joined. Although the band was together for several months before we started dating we got along well from the start. It was a long walk up a hill back to Adams house and he wasn’t keen to lug his double bass on his back. Luckily I was the only person in the band with a car big enough to fit the bass in- so naturally I offered to take him to and from practice. It was during these car journeys that our mutual love of a fairly obscure genre of music brought us closer together. The band only did a few gigs before splitting, but we both got what we wanted from it!

Although we were from the same town, he had moved away years ago. I had seen him about Banbury town though so although we hadn’t officially met when we were talking online, we weren’t complete strangers.

It took a little while, but we eventually got chatting every day and then texting and decided to finally meet in Banbury.  He met me at the train station and I was so nervous I had already pretty much downed half a bottle of vodka! See me and Vanien are quite simple folk we don’t need fancy restaurants etc. we love our music and it was a beautiful day so we thought for our first date we would go and sit in a field listening to punk music drinking cider… We were also wearing Christmas hats in the middle of summer, it was love!

A Tattoo and Rockabilly Wedding – Hayley & Adam

301282_10151007461291090_2135710667_nI’ve been looking forward to blogging this wedding for a while! Hayley & Adam are a wonderful couple and I’m privileged to be sharing their wedding on Marry Me Ink today.

“From that moment I was hooked!”
