Sally and James' first meeting was unusual to say the least! "James sent a text to an old work colleague seeing if he fancied a catch up", said Sally. "Unbeknown to James his friend had recently got a new phone and no longer had that number. 250 miles away, in Hull, I had just got a new phone and the network provider had reused the number. I received a random text asking to meet up and I jokingly replied! 11 years, 3 kids and a mortgage later we finally got married! Coincidence or fate!?"

Doug called Kirsti his unicorn because he thought she was a mythical creature that he'd never be able to have, but luckily she totally fell in love with him too! Their wedding theme was nautical, with a vintage classic feel, and they were inspired by anchors, rope and cool classic colours.

When Mariela and Mat, who met in 2018 at a tattoo convention, decided to tie the knot, they knew that while they didn't have a particular theme or vison in mind, they wanted something that incorporated their love for the desert, retro decor and tattoos. They found the perfect spot in downtown Las Vegas at the Sure Thing Chapel, featuring an officiant with a twist: Hellvis, the chapel’s resident 'spooky and campy Elvis' evil twin'. Everything else just fell into place after that.

Monica and Dominic’s wedding at The Grove in Las Vegas brought a medieval touch to a venue known for its romantic almond orchard. While most couples embrace the venue’s natural elegance, Monica and Dominic transformed the space into a scene filled with gothic magic and Celtic traditions. “We are both ‘Elder Emos,’ and I have an Irish/Celtic background,” Monica told us. “So we wanted something that really reflected our roots and personalities.”

Byron and Rose's wedding was the ultimate blend of laid-back rebellion and deep personal style - think shotgun wedding energy meets backyard house party, with a punk twist. Hosting it at the a family home kept it intimate and unruly in the best way (but did mean it was a lot of work to organise!)

When they first met at the Brighton Tattoo Convention in 2015, Lauren and Glyn never imagined they’d one day be getting married - for the second time - under neon lights with a rock’n’roll Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas.

Justin and Kelsey didn’t set out to throw a wedding for anyone but themselves. "It’s for us, not them," Kelsey said, and they stuck to that from start to finish.

Melanie and Daniel got hitched on Halloween at the Sure Thing Chapel in downtown Vegas. The chapel handled everything for them—the officiant, the flowers, and even recommending the photographer—making the whole process completely stress-free, even as Vegas first-timers. They didn’t technically invite any guests; the people who came kind of invited themselves!

Meghan and Chris’s November wedding was held at a gothic style mansion in the Catskills, New York. They were entranced by the venue, which was filled with rich history, and stunning woods surrounding it. They really tried to make it their own; the first dance, for example, was done behind a curtain with a spotlight so their 75 guests could only see their silhouettes. They also had a tarot card reader as an option for guests who didn't want to dance in the evening.

When Lauren, a self-described couponer and DIY enthusiast, married Michael, she knew they'd be doing a lot of the planning themselves. They stuck to their strict $4,000 budget by buying decor items from craft stores and not wearing traditional wedding outfits. Their venue was a restaurant which worked out a lot cheaper than going for a wedding venue.
