Couple Marry At A Tattoo Convention

A couple have celebrated their big day – by marrying at a tattoo convention in front of 10,000 strangers.

According to the Daily Mail, 25-year-old Dani Cook was due to tie the knot with her partner Adam Butler at Alexandra Palace in London. However, rather than the fairytale castle wedding she had in mind, she was met with a hall full of strangers, who share a love of ink.

It is understood the couple were taking part in reality television show Don't Tell The Bride, which meant Mr Butler, 29, was responsible for organising the couple's wedding – and keeping the details secret from his wife-to-be.

The pair are tattoo enthusiasts and even have matching inkings.

Explaining his slightly unusual choice for a wedding venue, Butler said: "I have 22 tattoos in total including a portrait of John Lennon and Dani has around 11. I have a king of hearts suit on my finger and Dani has the queen on hers.

"Because of our love of tattoos, I thought the convention would be ideal for us. But it wasn't just the event that I was sold on: the venue and it's grounds are stunning and I was blown away by it.

"It was hard to carry the tattoo theme throughout the day, especially at the reception, but I think I managed to pull it off."

And instead of exchanging a traditional ring as they said their vows, Butler arranged for a tattoo artists to ink the first letter of the couple's names on to each others' ring finger.

Commenting on her surprise wedding, Ms Cook added: "My dream was to get married in a stately home with the ceremony or reception taking place outside, but on the day all I could think about was Adam.

"The most important part for me was to have my whole family at the wedding and for my father to walk me down the aisle.

"He done well choosing my dress, but the worst part was not having any contact or any say in the plans."
