Today I get to share with you the sleek wedding of tattooed bride and groom Lucy and Neil that took place at the Hilton in Swindon with photography from Kevin Belson. I love the story of how they both met..
One day I was getting on the bus (in the days before I could drive) and I saw a guy hobbling towards the bus stop just as the bus was pulling away. I decided to be nice and ask the driver to stop. He got on the bus and we started talking. He actually told me that he had been back visiting his son, who lived with his ex-wife and that he would never get married again – Challenge accepted!
We then started talking online the next day after we had found each other on Myspace. I had to ask him out 3 times before he would accept my offer of going for a drink. I finally managed to persuade him, and we went for a drink.. .. the rest, as they say, is history! Turns out he had given his last £20 to his son for Easter.
Our wedding was a little less than traditional. We had over 200 temporary tattoos hat we put on each of the tables. Both myself and Neil are heavily tattooed, so we thought we would give our guests the opportunity to join us!
We also had a wedding cake made of 100 cupcakes, with a giant cupcake on the top. All decorated with skulls!
