Today I bring you Katie & Geoff who have such a wonderful story to tell – I hope you’re prepared? With stunning photography from Jonas Seaman, “Our photos were almost as important as the gown to me.explains Katie, “I wanted some amazing photos to have to be able to show our children and grandchildren one day and to say we got amazing photos is a vast understatement. They are more than I could’ve ever imagined.

My husband, Geoff, and I met through MySpace in 2008. He added me as a friend and I’m not one to just accept requests from people I don’t personally know so I emailed him and politely asked who he was and he said he saw that I was into Volkswagens, I had worked for a Volkswagen dealership at the time, and that struck his interest. He said I was pretty and he wanted to get to know me.  We exchanged emails for a while and then moved to talking on the phone and finally decided to meet.  He worked for an auto parts retailer and I decided to go there after work one day and I immediately knew he was something special. Talking to him on the phone I had an idea of what type of man he was and I was excited to get to meet him and see how he was in person. Later, he told me that I “intimidated” him when we first met because I was wearing high heels and looked professional, since I had just come from work, and that wasn’t something he was used to. We decided to get together after he got off work and we just spent the entire night talking. We first went to a local Mexican restaurant and then it got so late we ended up going to a 24-hour grocery store just so we could keep talking and hanging out, neither of us wanted to go home!

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.

Brian Smyer-35

 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).

Brian Smyer-18

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.

The Wedding Of Two Love Birds – Laura & Bill

Laura and Bill_034

Today I get to share with you Laura & Bill’s elegant and vintage wedding photographed by the wonderful Inna of Peach Plum Pear Photography. They both met at Bill’s work, a bird store, and it all grew from there.

My Mom would always tell me that she wanted me to meet the “hot guy” that worked at the bird store – “hot guy” being Bill. I finally dropped by the store with her one day in August 2006. I immediately locked eyes with the gorgeous brown haired, blue eyed boy. Of course I was too shy to speak to him, so we ended up chatting online not too long after. It was everything short of romantic, but we still like to revisit that day.

The detail that represented us the best at our wedding was definitely our cake topper. We wanted to incorporate our 3 cats, Steve, Frank and Cole because they are our world. I found a girl from South Korea who makes AMAZING custom cake toppers completely out of clay. She created a cake topper of Bill and I with our fur babies. Everyone absolutely loved it and we now have it on display in our house.

We knew we wanted a shabby-chic inspired wedding. For our table numbers, we found vintage looking picture frames. We hand painted each table number and placed them in the frames. Not only did they look super cute, but we got to reuse the frames around the house.

“The one thing I did not want to do was hide my tattoos on my wedding day. I wanted to embrace my ink and show it off proudly. I love the look of tattoos mixed with elegance.”

Laura and Bill_012

 We don’t have any couple themed tattoos yet, but we have definitely been thinking about it. There’s always that stigma with getting a tattoo based on your significant other, but I have trust that we can totally beat that.

Oh how awesome are Laura & Bill. Thank you to them both for sharing their wedding day with Marry Me Ink today and to Inna of Peach Plum Pear Photography. Be sure to leave them some love!
