A Neon Goth Fantasy Forest Wedding – Janalee & George

Today on Marry Me Ink I get to share with you a beautiful indoor forest wedding  from Smyer Image with neon everywhere in their venue – It’s mesmerising. Janalee and George got married at Pierpont Place in Utah with Diverse Diva as their epic wedding planner.

George and I were meant to be. I was actually dating someone else when we met. We became friends immediately and he would join us every weekend to bar hop or BBQ. Our friendship grew more and more as the months went by, and before I knew it I had fallen for my dear friend, and he for me. We tell everyone he stole me from another man, just for the fun shock factor of it. But I think we were supposed to meet like we did, and become friends first. I think it made our bond extra strong.

One part of our day that represented us as a couple was the untraditional nature of the wedding and reception. We didn’t want to follow the rules and traditions of every other wedding – Very much how we live our lives. Pierpont Place did an incredible job of hearing my vision and bringing it to life even better than I could have imagined. Not many people would understand rock n roll goth/fantasy forest, and nail it like they did.

A Dark Souls, Friday The 13th Wedding – Stephanie & Larry

I adore a bride in a black wedding dress and Stephanie looks incredible in hers from Eric Dress. They exchanged vows and partied at Old Rock Church in Utah with their friends and family which was filled with gorgeous paper flowers which they handmade out of old anatomy books and they had Convincing Imaging there to capture their day.

We met trough a mutual friend in high school. His friend Andy had recently moved to my home town of Malad Idaho, and Larry (my husband) came up to visit him. I was on my way to cheer practice when we stopped at Thomas Market, the local grocery store to pick up some drinks. They pulled in at the same time and that’s when we met. The first words I ever said to him were, “get in the cart b****!” And I proceeded to push him through the parking lot and almost ran him into a car. Later that night, after the football game, we hung out that’s when he kissed me. We told each other that we loved each other that night.

We based our entire wedding off of our favorite video games, Dark Souls, so the whole wedding was a representation of us and what we love to do as a couple. Gaming is a really big part of our lives and those games in particular have a very special place in our hearts.

“The feeling of LOVE in the air with the unity of both our families!”

Today I get to share with you the gorgeous portraits of Jenny & Chris from Utah wedding photographer Claire Marika that took place at Noah’s. I think tattooed bride Jenny looks gorgeous with her vintage styled hair and her mermaid gown by Mori Lee don’t you think?

We met through mutual friends at a restaurant where a group of us were having dinner. My first impression of him was that he was kind of a jerk, and he thought I was stuck up!

We later kept running into each other around town within 2 years of meeting. I moved to LA and lived there for about a year. Later, I returned and ran into him again at a night club. We started making small talk, and coincidentally I knew his god sister for a few years and also started working with his younger sister that same month. (And I used to work at his current job at the time) We thought of this as the universe drawing us together and wanting us to be together.. The rest is history!

A Vintage Hollywood Style Wedding – Beesh & Chad

Brian Smyer-31

Today I get to share with you Beesh & Chad’s vintage Hollywood inspired wedding which took place at Eccles Community Art Center in Utah with photography from Brian of Smyer Image.

 We met about 25 years ago, when I moved to Utah from France. I started the 2nd grade at Clinton Elementary and Chad was in my class. I would chase him around the playground calling him “caca-chi”. My family and I moved a couple months later to a different city but eventually moved back 6 years later when I was in the 8th grade. I started going to Sunset Jr High, Chad was going there as well and we had a few classes together and went right back to being friends (minus the “caca-chi” chasing).

By the time 9th grade came around we were a couple but of course we all know that “relationships” didn’t last long at that time and so he broke up with me (my first heart break). Of course I had to get back at him and went out with one of his best friends at the time just to make him jealous. Chad and I remained really good friends all the way through high school. After high school we parted ways for a few years until we found each other on myspace and renewed our friendship. Years into our renewed friendship and casual dating we finally made time for each other and have been together ever since.
