A tattoo artist and his tattooed bride at this Tacoma tattooed wedding

Washington couples might find lots of familiar places to love at this Tacoma tattooed wedding. Greer and Mike met at House of Tattoo in Tacoma — he the artist and she the new shop assistant. They were wed at the Wright Park Conservatory and rocked the rest of the night just down the street at The Hub. There were vegan goodies (including a vegan cake!), rainbow hair, gorgeous foliage, and and of course, lots of great ink.

This rockabilly-themed wedding is retro fabulous

This pair’s kick-ass rockabilly-themed wedding had bold colors, fun style, and an all-around good time. They had a tattoo table with temporary tattoos, a personalized cornhole game, caricaturist, photo booth, popcorn, cupcakes, DIYed ribbon wands, and a guitar guest book. And just wait until you see the bridesmaid’s retro floral dresses and persimmon shoes. LOVE!

As if walking down the wedding aisle isn’t nerve wracking enough, these two did it 30 feet in the air on a high wire no wider than a human thumb. Mustafa and Anna have been performing with Ringling Bros. for the past six years. The two exchanged vows on the high wire where they met and fell in love, surrounded below by friends, family, and circus crew in a ceremony officiated by Ringmaster David Shipman who was ordained specifically for this wedding.

Is this high-flying trapeze wedding the greatest show on Earth? Let’s see! Oh, AND there’s a video for your ogling pleasure…

An elopement in Maui with a volcano backdrop

Max and Mel moved Maui to forge a new beginning for themselves and then met through a paddling club. Between karaoke after-parties and Maui adventures, loved blossomed. They decided to have a small elopement in Maui with the East Maui volcano, Haleakalā, as their backdrop. If you think this meant amazing photos, you’ll totally right. Think wide open vistas, dramatic cliffs, and moody clouds.
