Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition (or this utterly bonkers Monty Python-themed wedding!)
We decided to have a Monty Python-themed wedding on the 50th anniversary of the first episode (5th October 1969) as we are considered the biggest fans of the TV show in the UK.

Eloping in Westeros: a Northern Irish castle elopement near Game of Thrones locations
Veregene and Brian traveled from America to elope on the Irish coastline in front of the magical Dunluce Castle. Their ceremony was held in a local farmer’s field with amazing views. Veregene was even taken to the ceremony and back on the farmer’s tractor! Now that’s a good way to travel in the countryside. As avid Game of Thrones fans they were able to journey around Northern Ireland’s famous Game of Thrones locations and take photos in front of stunning locations such as the Dark Hedges aka The Road to Kings Landing. It’s a dream location for any GoT fan.

Two brides in Wonderland with flamingoes, rainbows, & amazing street art
Jules and Katie got married in the urban district of Digibeth in Central Birmingham, England, and wanted to feature some of the amazing mural art that lives there.

They were included on the cake toppers, biscuits, placecards, and more. It was ADORABLE. J
