Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share with you Sarah & James’ Sci-Fi wedding that took place at Soughton Hall in Chester from Fox and Bear Photography. They both met one December over boardgames at Brewdog in Liverpool when Sarah was visiting friends when James’ Stargate tattoo caught her eye. They hit it off immediately and got back together for New Years. “He basically moved in with me on the 1st of January.”
The theme of our wedding was definitely us – we went for a loose space theme and made all the table centrepieces and table plan to reflect this. Each of the tables was named for one of our favourite sci-fi spaceships.
The centrepieces were 3D printed by my friends Andy and Joules, I then hand painted each of them. James made 10 different flavors of savoury and sweet jams as wedding favours for our guests and I also decorated our cake to look like a galaxy. Painting the spaceships was definitely the most rewarding element but each came with their own stresses, James was wise and got all of his Jams done well in advance. I think I finished the last spaceship a couple of days before the wedding!
I was sure I wanted my tattoos to be visible so all sleeves were off the table. I liked the rockabilly element of a tea length dress as well as I thought it worked well with the tattoos so I had quite a clear vision going into the search.
