A Tattooed, Rustic Wedding At Shepherd’s Field – Katie & Wesley

Posted on April 23, 2015 | 1 comment

Today I get to share with you this gorgeous outdoor wedding of Katie and Wesley, which is perfect for our current weather! They were married at Shepherd’s Field in Oregon with wonderful images from N-E Photography.

We actually work together, and that’s where it all started.. We had been friends for a few years but nothing romantic. I always had a secret crush on him, but I was in a serious relationship at the time, and he always had flings of his own! Finally things with my ex were starting to crumble and I started to confide in him for advice because I trusted him. He ended up sweeping me off my feet and showing me what I really needed!

The highlight of our wedding was getting to share my vows. We wrote our own vows and I had poured my heart into mine and made sure that they were absolutely perfect. Also getting to see him cry as I read them to him. It was just the most special moment.

A Tattooed Fairytale Wedding In Kent – Katie & Warren

Posted on April 17, 2015 | 3 comments

Today on Marry Me Ink, I get to share tattooed bride and groom Katie and Warren’s Preston Court wedding from Rob Grimes Photography. I think Katie makes a gorgeous tattooed Jenny Packham bride too!

Warren & I met at a bar in Liverpool. We both believe everything happens for a reason and boy – are we glad we made it out that night… Warren was still in the army at the time and wasn’t supposed to be on leave that weekend, it was only at the last minute on the Friday he was told he could go home. And I had had a mad busy week at work and was in no mood for a night out, only going as it was for a friends birthday. Nearly 10years later we’re both still so thankful for that particular weekend leave & birthday night out!!

We chose to do a lot of things ourselves, out of enjoyment, to help keep me calm knowing everything would be exactly how I/we wanted it and it also made everything more personal for us. The day before the wedding, Warren and I had done all the floral centrepieces and made the buttonholes for our guests. The night before the wedding, my sister & I made our bouquets and my headpiece. This was my something old & borrowed from my auntie as I used my late Nanas pearl necklace sewed to two hairslides. We also done all our own decorations in both barns. In the weeks leading up to the wedding we had everyone saving us their old glass jars for the flowers, which my mum helped me decorate with burlap (I am now sick of burlap haha) and lace to fit in with the rusticness of the venue.

A Modern Gastby Wedding – Alicia & Tyler

Posted on February 27, 2015 | 3 comments

It’s Friday! And to round off the week, I get to share with you Alica and Tyler’s modern Gatsby wedding from Kristel Collins Photography. The gorgeous venue for their wedding I hear you ask? The Life Arts Centre – Full of amazing banquet halls in downtown Riverside, CA. Kristel wore a gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress too!

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.

A Backyard Wedding In Fontana – Corrina & Brian

Posted on January 14, 2015 | 1 comment

Today I get to share with you gorgeous grey haired and tattooed bride Corrina and her military groom Brian and their backyard wedding day from Valerie Ronin Photography. Corrina has a gorgeous 50s vibe to her hair and I think she looks absolutely stunning! Also – How great does Brian look in his uniform? Their day was filled with thrift store teacups, mason jars, DIY wedding favours and gorgeous cake!

Brian and I met through his sister at a party in 2007 where he was on leave from his army duties. Well that night Brian decided to dump nachos on my head in the middle of a conversation me and his sister were having.. WHY?!! I have no idea, nor does he or anyone at the party. I was super angry but after 2 minutes we all laughed and continued to party. After that night, we all became close friends through the years.

In 2013, I needed a plus one to my friends’ wedding so I asked Brian to be my plus one and he said yes. We just started hanging out a lot more and texting on a daily basis (lots of flirting) and July 4th at a pool party, and pretty wasted on fireball whiskey, (that’s our “drink”) we kissed and now are married. So 7 years of friendship, 1 year of us and many more to come. I really honestly married one of my best friends!!!
