My dear friends Meghan and Paul got hitched early this year. Regretfully, I wasn't able to make their wedding but as any good friend would do I lurked their Facebook profiles and have been celebrating their union vicariously through their photos.
They're both inspiring people that get fully into everything they take on and I'm stoked for them to have legalized their love stuff and, as Jon Bon would say, are no longer living in sin. In a world where people are either taking that Sex In The City shit way too seriously and rocking it Samantha Jones style staying slutty and single until death, or taking on multiple wives à la Bountiful BC, it's comforting to know old-fashioned one-on-one passion is alive and throbbing.
Judging from aforementioned Facebook pics this passion and attention to detail manifested itself in one damn stylish wedding. It's cool to see how their taste for the timeless and classic shows through in their attire, wedding accoutrements, right on down to their wedding stationery. Speaking of wedding stationery, Meghan and Paul chose (the very talented) Beth Campbell to design theirs.
Meghan came to see me for some work early in my start as a tattooer and we ended up doing a poppy on her shoulder. Beth gave a nod to the bride's tattoo in their wedding invitations; with a bouquet of poppies in the basket of the tandem bicycle central to the design.
I'm always curious and impressed by how other creative folks translate their inspirations from raw source material to final product.
