Colourful Caribbean Cruise Inspired Wedding

Assassynation

December 7, 2015

Aimee and Lenny met when they were both working in Cruise Liners in the Caribbean in the early 2000s. "It was far from love at first sight", laughed the bride. "I used to think Lenny was a bit of an idiot! After we both left the ships we stayed (loose) friends on Facebook and in 2009 started a conversation on a photo that went like this: Aimee, 'You look fit Lenny! You're aging well!' Lenny, 'Why Thank you! No-one has ever told me I look fit before! Will you Marry me?' From there we started messaging one another about our 'fake' wedding. It eventually progressed to normal conversation, then daily chat which went on for a couple of months. It soon became apparent that, bizarrely, we were falling in love over our written messages (which we cutely called 'Love Mail' because Lenny's surname is Love!) So, eight years after we'd worked together, I arranged to meet up with this guy (who I used to hate) and who's emails were giving me butterflies. It was supposed to be for one night but I ended up staying for a week. And that was that!"

The most important thing to Zoe and Tom was that they brought both their families together to celebrate their wedding. "All we wanted was a completely inclusive and family-based wedding that everyone (big Irish and Geordie families!) was invited to and welcome at", Zoe said. "We wanted everyone to mingle and mesh together in one big happy muddle. I think this was probably the thing that most people commented on too which was nice."

Kelly and Benjamin knew what they wanted for their wedding right from the start. They wanted an informal day with a festival vibe and lots and lots of colour! "The inspiration for our wedding was just 'let’s be ourselves'", Kelly said. "We've been to so many weddings over the years that all feel the same; a lot of people try and have this fancy formal affair when it really doesn't reflect who they are as people."

Rustic and Hello Kitty Themed Wedding

Baby always wanted a Hello Kitty themed wedding but her fiancé, Simon, wasn't so keen on the idea! Instead she added a few subtle touches (like her adorable bouquet) to their July wedding, while the rest of the styling suited both their tastes. "I think the idea we were going for was mainly rustic but with a few really cute touches, such as Hello Kitty, a candy buffet and animal balloons for the kids", the groom explained. "Baby wanted just a Hello Kitty theme, but I wasn't too chuffed about it, so it ended up as a mix!"
