A Coastal Wedding In Florida – Sarah & Ben

MMI_4013

Today I get you share with the gorgeous wedding of tattooed bride Sarah and husband Ben from Orlando wedding photographer Gian Carlo Photography. Sarah is probably on of the most heavily tattooed brides I’ve had the chance to feature on Marry Me Ink, and she looks absolutely gorgeous!

We actually met on match.com. I had made my profile, forgot about it..never paid. One day I decided to log on and pay for a month (what’s the worst that could happen?). I then went to lunch, came back and had an email from Ben (my now husband). We met 3 days later, deleted our accounts and were stuck to each other like glue. We both had dreams about each other before we ever met…! It was fate.

We are not traditional people, so we didn’t want a bouquet  or garter toss. We had a cake and the toppers were our 4 dogs, Lucy, Lola, Maggie and Charles. It was just a laid back night of music, food and friends. We also had our Bulldog Lucy be the ring bearer.

Almost every single thing was made by loving hands. My mother made the most amazing bouquet out of old brooches and pins. She searched for a year and also had family and friends donate them. I tear up just thinking about it. All the center pieces were made of photos, old cameras, antiques and found items. Instead of a guestbook, I put out scrapbook paper, stickers, markers and tape so people could make small pieces of art for us. I then put them into the scrapbook and have it displayed in our home. Everything had a personal touch, something I’m very proud of.

An Intimate Edinburgh Wedding – Louise & Ian

MMI_3888

Tattooed bride Louise and her husband Ian were married in an intimate wedding at The Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh with photography from Nadin Dunnigan Photography. Louise wore a gorgeous Phase Eight dress (You can see more Phase Eight wedding dresses here in a previous post) that showed a lot of her tattoos.

Our courtship was almost like a modern-day ‘When Harry Met Sally’; we were introduced by a mutual friend and it took us ages to get together… At first I didn’t like him much (sorry Ian!) as I thought he was such a show-off, but gradually we became friends and it became the most important relationship in both of our lives.

The highlight of our wedding was when I saw Ian for the first time in the ceremony room, looking so handsome in his suit and a little nervous.. I was *busting* to actually be married to him by then…! (Also discovering I could walk just fine for the wedding photos in my 6” Louboutin heels)

You may recognise tattooed bride and groom Emma and Chris from their golden engagement shoot in Yorkshire that I featured in January. Today they’re back with their gorgeous Ponderosa Lakeside Restaurant wedding from Maryanne Scott Photography.

Having all our friends and family together to be part of our day was the highlight of our wedding day. We never wanted a stuffy formal wedding, that’s just not us. We had so much fun and spent the whole day just smiling and laughing!

I think the fact that we had such a relaxed day was the biggest reflection on us as a couple. There were also little hints of tattoo art, such as on the table plan, wedding cake and back of my dress.

We met at the age of 15 in youth group… We began dating in our Freshman year of High School but we eventually separated. We then found our way back to each other when we were 24 and have been inseparable ever since.

The highlight of our wedding day for me, was walking down the aisle… That is the one moment I had dreamed about since Tyler proposed. I just couldn’t wait to see his face! Even though we’d been dating on and off for about 14 years, I still had butterflies during that moment.
