Very formal, and restrictive when this part of the traditional vows are taken literally, as was the religious intention. We all know the traditional vows that are expected of us to say however do we know where they came from? Lily Jones Events sent us this absolutely gorgeous til death do us party bridal inspiration held at The Lost Village of Dode which made me wonder about this vow in particular and it's history. </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0003-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg?1656540599268" width="1024"></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0020-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg?1656540643117" width="1024"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">A traditional spin on these vows have switched the terms "us" and "do" around to sound more modern times for the brides and grooms who still wish to use it, due to the rising popularity of writing our own vows or amending the traditional restrictions. I've seen this particular vow be described as polarising and passe in our modern times, and that perhaps it is unrealistic that in our lifetime we shouldn't expect our marriages to last forever, however the romantic in me believes that when couples agree to be married, that they INTEND forever, and till death do they part. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0129-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Butterfly Aisle Runners created this gorgeous aisle runner which includes the romanticism of being married until the very end of your days, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine".</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0093-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0159-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Maddison Rocks Floral Sculpture hand creates custom bouquets and buttonholes per each wedding, and this is another masterpiece with the incredible skulls, custom ribbon and the perfect colours to match the bridal look. </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0011-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The dress from matchimony, hair piece from Alexandra Bespoke Bridal, veil from X O Flo Designs and the suit from Penguin Suits come together perfectly for this look of pure love and commitment for this bride and groom to say their forever I do's, and till death do they parts. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0062-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The oldest acknowledgement of the vow "till death do us part" originated from the Book of Common Prayer by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, and the final line of this adaptation was that this vow was to be kept "according to God's Holy Ordinance" would suggest that this vow would be the most religious of them all.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0025-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0002-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0157-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Miss Molly Designs included some fabulous hand made accessories, and we think these one of a kind shoes would be perfect for this wedding inspiration. When styling your wedding breakfast tables it can sometimes be tricky to incorporate your theme however these colourful skull planters, napkins and wedding biscuits make for a superb vision. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0149-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">What are your opinions on this wedding vow? Have you used it? Do you intend to use it?</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><u>Inspiration behind this shoot</u></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>With the rise in couples wanting to honour past loved ones during their wedding, I wanted to extend this idea into a colourful celebration of both life and death. With Irish heritage, I have grown up with half of my family celebrating the festival of the Day of the Dead, something which most people associate with Mexican traditions but which has been celebrated in Ireland and many other countries around the world, including Spain and Guatamala, for centuries and is now celebrated all across the world. The colourful aesthetic of the Day of the Dead lent itself beautifully to the idea that both life and death can be celebrated at a wedding and that even though we vow to love our partners until death parts us, there is an unbreakable bond between you that extends past the physical world.</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0022-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>And so I set out to create a styled inspiration shoot that married the bright colours and celebratory atmosphere with inspirations from gothic aesthetics to show that a gothic wedding needn't be all dark and dreary. After all, a wedding is the ultimate celebration of life, love and the joining of souls. I also wanted to show the Celtic side to the Day of the Dead celebrations and how you can bring them into your wedding.</em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><em><img src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0068-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>Hidden away in the Kent countryside, the Lost Village of Dode is all that is left of a former Norman church built over 900 years ago. It is an ancient and sacred building that carries so much history that there is an air of the supernatural surrounding it especially as it was abandoned in 1349 as a result of the Black Death sweeping the country. This was the perfect venue for our celebratory life and death shoot.</em></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/250681739/pretty-and-punk0052-halloween-day-of-the-dead-wedding-inspiration-kent-wedding.jpg"></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>So on a gloomy September morning, I was joined by a fantastic team of over 20 wedding suppliers, some of which had travelled as far as Scotland, to create a beautiful, moving, celebratory and fabulous shoot and I hope you love it as much as I do!</em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Suppliers involved in this inspirational feature:</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">VENUE - <a href="http://www.dodevillage.com" target="_blank"
