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!

My husband, Curtis and I met when he tattooed me.  After spending numerous hours together, we found out that we had a lot in common.  We ended up running into one another every single night for two weeks straight after that, so I guess our relationship just naturally formed from that.

The highlight of our wedding day was riding a borrowed tandem bicycle with my husband from our home to the reception in my wedding dress. It was a special time that we were able to enjoy as a couple before being surrounded by everyone again, and was a funny sight to see I’m sure.

“We kept things true to who we were… From the decorations to the custom invitation to the vegan food, it was all things we loved.”

The morning before the wedding, my husband and I decorated the yard and house with different items I had made using vintage ribbons, tablecloths and antiques of my grandmothers as well as lots of paper and flower bunting. I had the most fun setting up oversized paper flowers around the backyard…it looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

Today I get to share something pretty awesome with you. You may remember Dea from a previous post where I got to interview her about her gorgeous tattoos and artwork here. Well, she got married!!

The part which represented us as a couple I think was the leaned back atmosphere. We had a camp fire, singer songwriter music and an open air location with a vegetarian/vegan buffet with a vegan wedding cake! We were surprised and pleased how happy everyone was with our decision not to have meat on the menu.

We put together all of the decoration elements such as bows and garlands. As our western-inspired outdoor location was already so pretty and romantic, we didn’t have to add too much stuff.
