#wedding photoshoot thingy

I must have missed the Met Gala ‘fuck off’ Anna Wintour thingy mabob regarding Meghan.

If you have time could you please expand on it? I saw it on another post and it really peaked my interest 😁

Sure! The only way the rumor makes sense is if you know "Met Gala 101" so I'll start there, then dive into the rumor. I will warn you now, the rumor ends up getting a little tinhatty because the timing is strange.

The main thing to know is that Anna Wintour has final say over everything that happens at the Met Gala, including what/who people wear. (Some people believe she personally approves every outfit, others think she just likes knowing what people are wearing so she can edit and organize the red carpet like it's a photoshoot.) As part of this, Anna also has final approval over who is invited as plus-ones to the designers.

So there are a few different ways to get on the invite list for the Met Gala:

Be the guest of a designer/fashion house who has bought a table or tickets. To get a designer +1, you usually need a personal relationship with a designer (either an ambassadorship like Kristen Stewart is for Chanel or you're besties like Sarah Jessica Parker and Alexander McQueen or Zac Posen and Katie Holmes) or you need to be a hot It celebrity of the moment like Zendaya, Taylor Swift, Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordie.

Purchase your own ticket (they start at $50K nowadays).

Be a huge donor to the Met, either in money or time.

Work at Vogue or one of the Gala's sponsors.

Perform at the Gala (which is how the Kardashians finally got invited - Kim was Kanye's +1, who was performing).

Be the partner/friend of someone who fits into one of these categories, and hope they get a +1 and choose you.

(I also think the gala's co-hosts get a couple of tickets for free.)

That's "Met Gala 101." Now, the rumor.

Edward Enninful, who was then the editor of British Vogue, was said to have invited Meghan to the Met Gala as his +1. (He gets tickets for being a Vogue employee and Anna approved Meghan as his guest because she fell under "hot It celebrity of the moment".) Allegedly, when Anna asked to know what Meghan was going to wear, Meghan upset/offended her, and Anna rescinded her approval for Meghan to be Edward's guest and Edward dropped Meghan.

There are a few different versions about what Meghan did to Anna:

Meghan refused to tell Anna who/what she was wearing.

Anna gave suggestions to Meghan and she refused to listen.

Meghan lied/changed her mind about who she was wearing after getting Anna's OK and changed her outfit.

Supposedly this was for Met Gala 2019. Supposedly, Meghan was so pissed off that she was uninvited from the Met Gala that she had Archie on May 6th to steal the headlines/thunder from Anna in revenge.

I'm not sure how valid this one is. The timing is suspicious because no way would anyone let a due-any-day pregnant woman travel like that, especially not one who was said to be overdue. (I think Harry wrote in Spare that Archie was 2 weeks overdue.) So either it confirms surrogacy - especially when you remember that in January or February, Meghan told a wellwisher "nearly there, not long to wait" about her pregnancy - or it's completely made up. It wouldn't be the first time that someone made something up and it caught on like wildfire.

It's more plausible to me if this was about the 2018 Met Gala, which was held May 7, 2018. A quick google search showed Meghan didn't have any events or make any public appearances around that time so it's possible she could've been planning a quick popover before the wedding. It's when she would have been most in demand and most sought-after, and it would have been a real coup for Anna and Edward to get her "red carpet society debut" over British society.

It wouldn't have been Met Gala 2020, which was cancelled for COVID. Enninful didn't go to Met Gala 2021 (it overlapped with the opening of London Fashion Week and he was photographed at parties with Naomi Campbell. I documented the rumor on my spreadsheet in 2021 so any of the years after don't count.

So, that's the rumor and the backstory. It's totally up to you whether you believe it or not. If it is true, or a variation of it is true, then the Met Gala crowd and the New York elite crowd that's close to Anna would've absolutely heard about Meghan's behavior. The other thing to remember about Anna is that she also occupies British society too, so she may also be aware of what British society says about Meghan (and Harry).

I'll end this with a little bit of Met Gala gossip from last year (2023). Last year, Olivia Wilde showed up to the Met Gala in the same outfit as Margaret Zhang, Vogue China's editor (Olivia's dress was white, Margaret's was blue). This sort of snafu is exactly why Anna likes to have input in what people wear, so Olivia Wilde showing up to a red carpet in the same outfit of another guest - a Vogue editor specifically - is the worst fashion sin of them all. That she did it at the Met Gala? With the entire world watching? I mean, you might as well go crawl under the Brooklyn Bridge and accept your life as the new bridge troll. But that's not the juicy bit. The juicy bit is that Olivia Wilde showing up in the same outfit of another guest means she wasn't the +1 for a designer or a guest of the Met because Anna would've told her to wear something else since the outfit was committed to Margaret. It means that Olivia paid $50K out of pocket to be embarrassed and supposedly Anna and Margaret were both so upset by it that Olivia may have been blacklisted from the gala for a few years. Now, why would Olivia shell out $50K for a ticket? Allegedly Harry Styles was going to be there too and she wanted to get back together with him.

🕯random joker out manifestations🕯

first things first - the backstage episode. I need it pls and thank you

ngvot (kris version) - enough things have been said about this, again I WILL lose my shit if this happens

jan doing backing vocals - just imagine... hearing that sultry voice (it's already doing things to me)

that wedding photo shoot thingy that bojan and jure did but - instead with jan and nace (hehehe I know what will happen if this happens)

a spanish cover of any of their songs, or a cover of a spanish song. or maybe even an original song in spanish but that would be too much to ask for (what do you think @da-proti-toku-grem ?)

a collab. artists that i wish for are: käärijä (obviously), mrfy, lps, alessandra (would slay), monika liu (they themselves have mentioned it), jet black diamonds, citi zēni (just imagine the amount of chaos) pls do tell if y'all have any wishes for collabs too!

kris doing an interpretive dance routine - i know this is very random and will never happen, but tell me he doesn't at least look like he could slay at ballet? or even figure skating (hi @sparkles-oflight !)

kris singing in dutch: no commentary necessary (also i can't keep watching the wiwibloggs interview in which he translates and sings something in dutch, a hundred times in a week)

nace wearing that overall he wore in a photoshoot on stage (pls it was so cute!)

jure in a princess dress. screw it, all of them in a princess dress (customized for each of them) god it's killing me just to imagine it

if you read the whole thing, thanks and i'm sorry. here's a pic of Nace for your trouble

[quaranmine]

Several of the things I'm looking at though are upgrading my camera setup again. I've been rather terrifyingly asked to photograph a friend's wedding in January 😯

I do not think I am being paid (I didn't ask and frankly I don't think I have the experience necessary to be paid for this) and they're super chill people so I think it'll be okay. Like they don't even seem to post on social media so I don't think they have super high expectations of it all being perfect. Most of what I've heard about the wedding is quite laidback. I'm mostly worried about messing up a very important event! You can redo a regular photoshoot but if you miss all your shots on someone's wedding day...uh-oh

Anyway, a while back I upgraded my kit telephoto lens to the much better EFS 55-250 mm one. And then that became my favorite one for shooting since it's soooo much better. So I had already been thinking of upgrading the other kit lens too, and now I definitely do since I want something better.

So now I'm looking at Canon's "nifty fifty" lens, the 50 mm f/1.8 STM. I wonder if they'll mark it down in Black Friday. I have never shot on a prime before but I'm really thinking I will need that wider aperture for getting the best quality for portraits in low light (indoor wedding.) Also looking at a used Sigma 17-50 mm f/2.8 as a more general replacement for the 18-55 mm variable aperture kit lens (but I'm worried about a fixed 2.8 aperture for landscapes, since my current kit lens is f/3.5-5.6 and normally you'd want to keep more depth of field for landscapes. I'm trying to find some magical perfect affordable lens that's great for both that doesn't exist.) But overall I need to own at least something that is f/2.8 or f/1.8 I think.

Annnnd I think my camera sensor has dust on it because I noticed spots on my photos back in Iceland, so I want to order a kit to clean it. With the like. Dust blower thingy since you dont want to risk scratching it. And I think I should invest in a new camera bag that is maybe actually waterproof since I pushed my luck in Iceland with my current bag. Much to think about, much to spend.

If I get these lenses, I better play with them a lot in December before I try using them on a wedding

glad i've found that Surprise Cash a few weeks ago because now I've suddenly decided I need a bunch of random stuff. i have like 7 tabs on my computer just monitoring things for black fridady

Wed 17 Feb ‘21

Liam’s podcast is back on schedule with a Wednesday episode, and this week’s trip around the globe takes us to… North London! Guests are Tottenham player Dele Alli and Tottenham native rapper Wreck 32. Liam tells us about the perils of being young and dumb fruity, and having a tattoo gun-- “there was one night we were feeling a little bit fruity and me and the boys all together decided it was like a tattoo game and if you lost, you had to get the score line tattooed on you along with if you got any red or yellow cards. So I’ve got a mate home in Wolverhampton who literally has got like ‘3-2 red card’ tattooed on him!” and other video game low points-- “I had this moment during lockdown where I had to do the Grand Prix from home... they left the racing line on for me and I didn’t realize on match day they were gonna take it off. So I was terrible. I crashed the car in the bloody thingy and I accidentally crashed into Ian Poulter, the golfer, and he cursed me out so hard down the microphone. It was so bad.” He relates to Dele about doing what they do to no crowd in the time of COVID- “I’ve been doing a lot of online concerts at the moment where we put fake screaming in the background just to make me feel better about myself…. Every performance to me at the moment felt like a jam session more than anything else” and fan rivalries “our fan and the BTS fans... they GET AT each other online!” (and they all find comparing this to football fans beating the crap out of each other very funny but listen LITTLE DO THEY KNOW.) Liam also says that he thinks Drake is our generations Frank Sinatra and you know what, I could draw some parallels between those two but... not the complimentary ones Liam meant.

Guitarist Isaac Anderson says he loves being part of the Louis team and that Fearless is his favorite to play (which makes sense since he gets space to show off a little bit on that one.) Marvel’s Eternals director Chloe Zhao wore her TPWK shirt for another photoshoot, feeding ‘Harry is in Eternals’ rumors, and “sources” (THEY certainly have a lot of… things… to say lately) say that Harry is “in talks” to star in Mobius, a film about the life of musician Warren Malone (possibly a short film, or possibly one writer was just confused about the fact that it’s based on a short story), and People, who I guess are just publishing twitter rumors to deal with Jeff not feeding them, said Olivia was flying to the UK with her kids, then realized her kids were there and had been there and now have a story up saying her and Harry flew to the UK. YAWN People, we had that rumor DAYS ago and it’s probably even true, it makes total sense for them to carplanepool, gimme something actually entertaining.

Shen Wei Serving Lewks, Part 7

(Masterpost)

Look 30

Swamp coat...no wait, hang on.

Upon close inspection, this is not Swamp Coat, but a different loose trench coat in Swamp color. What the fuck, Shen Wei! Borrow one of your boyfriend’s coats again, pretty please?

Both times this tunic/coat outfit has appeared on Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan was wearing this gorgeous tailored denim number, with perfectly fitted shoulders and a nipped in waist. Sigh.

Anyway, Swamp Coat 2.0 is nicer than 1.0, and Shen Wei is wearing it with a with an immaculate super-casual loose white tunic with a band collar, so he looks beautiful even though this ensemble is decidedly meh. 

As Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan get closer, Shen Wei’s wardrobe becomes looser and more casual, which is probably good for his psyche so...okay. 

In addition to layers of loose fabric, this look features a checkered nosebleed hanky and the angriest face he has ever turned on Zhao Yunlan. 

Along with definitely not kissing

(More behind the cut!)

And definitely not having a massive grope session like the last time Shen Wei got between Zhao Yunlan’s knees on this lab table.

Once the anger passes, however, this is a very good look for making out in a taxi with a boy who has excellent taste in coats. 

Bonus Look 2: ZY’s Turn to Be Angry

This look belongs to Zhao Yunlan, who is wearing a single soft layer with a wide exposed neck so he can have an intense argument and hand touching with Shen Wei. This is Zhao Yunlan’s at home look, without the extra layer (vest or jacket, in a tough fabric) he always wears except when he’s alone with Shen Wei.

Shen Wei is like, no it’s fine honey, slicing my arm open is just a thing I do so I can eventually die spectacularly.  Also I drained my life force for you, don’t make a big deal of it you know I hate when you make a big deal of things. 

For once Zhao Yunlan gets to be the overprotective, upset partner in the relationship and also maybe the big spoon for a change. In keeping with his personality, he expresses himself explosively... 

...while Shen Wei quietly leaks out emotions like the black smoke leaking from his wrist.

This is Zhao Yunlan without his armor, his swagger, his smile; this might be the only time he is as vulnerable with Shen Wei as Shen Wei (always) is with him. 

Look 31

Shen Wei wears his blue double-breasted wedding crasher suit to begin his long, long relationship with this pillar.

This look features chains, more chains, and long conversations with ridiculous smoke effects. 

Bonus Look 3 - ZY Rescue Trench

Now THAT is a trench coat. Do you hear me, Shen Wei's Swamp Coats?

Hilariously, we are meant to believe this superbly fitted coat with its itty bitty waist and this perfectly sized gun belt are what Zhao Yunlan took off of this schlubby guard. Zhao Yunlan DOES have magic powers! 

This is a good outfit for convincing your lover to give up his relationship with a malevolent pillar and come home with you. 

Did I hastily photoshop Smoke Dude out of that rescue picture? I did.

Is this just a gratuitous picture of freshly-unchained Shen Wei looking upset and Zhao Yunlan comforting him? It is. Shout out to all the H/C fans!

Look 32

This look is a grey suit with a white grid pattern, and striped red and blue accent fabric on the pocket and under the collar.  This was briefly featured way back in the trauma cake arc. Here Shen Wei is also wearing a fresh cravat in grey tones. 

Shen Wei had been wearing a narrower range of outfits lately because he doesn't have enough drawers at Zhao Yunlan's place, so he must have made a brief stop at his apartment to get some more things. 

At home with Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei wears this look with a bare face and neck, chilling in his white shirt with the collar stiffeners. I'm going to call them that forever; you can't stop me.  Note how the shirt has darts (the vertical seams from his shoulder blades to his waist) so that it fits perfectly across the back.

This is a good look for lovingly preparing fresh fruit for your candy-addicted beloved and then watching him while he sleeps. 

Shen Wei’s ass is now chainless, alas, but these trousers are doing yeoman’s werk work.  

While Zhao Yunlan sleeps, Shen Wei takes the opportunity to check up on his special pendant necklace that he bought at a bong shop when he was in college.

Back in the full ensemble, Shen Wei is ready to have a haberdashery throwdown with his jerkass father-in-law, who normally has serious game in a plum coat and patterned vest.  

Today Pop Zhao has unexpectedly said “fuck it” and worn a brown sweater and beige trench. 

Don’t encourage Shen Wei’s boring taste in coats, Pop Zhao!

After easily winning the best-dressed award at tea, Shen Wei accessorizes his look with cheekbones that could cut glass, and his best “oops, busted” face when Zhao Yunlan sees him hanging out with the parent ZY hates so much that he has the same job and facial hair as him.

That leads to a wonderfully layered interaction, in which Shen Wei just kind of stands in front of Zhao Yunlan refusing to engage with his need for control, while Zhao Yunlan roasts Shen Wei for being untrustworthy...and then offers him a ride back to the office.

Guardian is so good at capturing the constantly-fluctuating state of a deep relationship, in which you can be fighting on one level and totally fine on another level; where you’re going to have a donnybrook with your lover but first you’re going to get a decent meal into them. 

Skipping!

We’re skipping over the increasingly bloody tee-shirt ensemble that appears in the final episodes. That look says, “anti-gay narrative tropes suck.” 

Instead, check out this beauty that Shen Wei wore for one poorly-lit scene early in the show. This is the only time he wears a fully-matched 3-piece suit and he SLAYS in it. And then puts it in mothballs forever. 

I guess when you’re wearing an outfit the first time your sweetheart breaks into your apartment and disorganizes your panty drawer, you only want to wear it for the most special occasions after that. 

Look 33

After a bunch of unnecessary yet compellingly-acted death, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan meet up outside of time and space in a Windows 95 screensaver.  

[That is a Gen X joke. OP is old.] 

Shen Wei’s look for this meeting is the same one he wore the day they met in the modern world - the double-breasted 10-button vest, with arm garters and now also (SIGH) tears in his eyes. Instead of that, here is an infinite loop of Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan talking over dinner in their kitchen, because screw Episode 40. 

Look 34

Exiting the screensaver, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan fall out into the AU of your choice, because they realize that they left the wormhole together last time so it shouldn’t be too difficult to leave it together this time. They can just hold hands while they leave, for fuck’s sake. 

In the AU of your choice they get married in these beautiful suits, as seen in Bazaar magazine. 

Shen Wei’s look here features tousled hair and the glasses-free look he prefers when he’s with his true love. This is the first black suit we’ve seen him in, and he’s doing fine work in it, particularly with the gold bola thingy he’s wearing at the collar.  Zhao Yunlan is so hot here that only Shen Wei dares to touch him.

Look 35

For the beach party they throw for their AU friends and neighbors a month after the wedding, (also courtesy of Bazaar’s photoshoot) Shen Wei chooses this short-legged suit with white canvas shoes, a lovely display of calf and a sprinkling of leg hair. 

This look says, I love you forever and I'm pretty sure I can give you a spinal adjustment using only my leg muscles. 

Shen Wei has replaced his bong-shop pendant with a tasteful diamond bar necklace, which was an apology gift from Zhao Yunlan after ZY intentionally accidentally set fire to Swamp Coats 1 through 4. 

Near his heart Shen Wei is wearing a tie pin (sans tie) that’s made out of a lollipop stick. 

Preview

The next post features Shen Wei’s cosplay looks including Black Robe Envoy and Ye Zun!

Hi. I love your page 🤍 Can you please tell me how does it work to get married in Korea? Thanks Sending lots of love to you, and be safe 🥰

Hii! Thank you!

In what way? Like how do you get married or how it's like being married to someone Korean? I assume it's the ..former(??) First one.

Getting married in Korea has it's difficulties and also parts that are much more simple than in America. I think this is gonna be long so bear with me.

(It is long..sorry!!)

So let's start with a disclaimer. This is just from my experience and those around me, plus what you sometimes see on TV. The very basic generalized idea of how it works.

First, your date then you decide to get married. Like it's really like that, your date then at some point in whatever way you and your partner communicate you decide to get married, together as a couple; by this I mean no surprise proposals or whatever. Then you and your partner and both of your parents meet for the first time for a dinner where you tell them your plans, but this part is kinda fuzzy for me, what I've heard is that the old school traditional way is that you don't meet each other's Parents until this point but IDK how true that is now, I know I met T's parents (even his extended family) very fast even by American standards and T's friend who is engaged has met his GF's parents a few times here and there over the years but nothing official (as in going to family weddings together or spending holidays together something T and I did a lot) but anyway, and then as it happens in dramas some parents might be against it (but also Idk how true it is now if they have so much say in who you marry or not but given how much they have to do and pay for it, I feel like it's still true)

Then..you propose. In Korea, people don't actually propose until you officially know you're getting married. T "proposed" to me a week before we registered our marriage, and another of his friends who is already legally married to his wife will propose to her soon. point is you won't get proposed to until you guys already agreed on getting married. When I explained that in America it's usually a surprise and that is when you say yes or no they were kinda shocked haha

After this comes marriage registration and ceremony. The order in which you do this is up to you really, some people do the ceremony first and some people do the ceremony 3 years later like us haha. For the registration process it's fairly simple you get the required documents I can't remember what they are but yeah, go to the ..ward office ?? ( that's what google translate told me) give the papers, sign them and bara bim bara boom(apparently its bada bing bada boom 🙃) you married !!

Now the ceremony is the hard part. Multiple people have told me "Korean wedding ceremonies are a business" and boy they really are, it's a weird give and take of money between family members and most of it is for your parents and in-laws.

So first, The most important thing you have to do is set the venue, there are tons of wedding venues all over Seoul you just gotta choose one, set the date chose the available time (oh, here weddings are always around noon or early afternoon and last probably less than two hours cause you gotta be out before the next wedding) now if you have the venue you basically have everything else American/Colombian brides stress about: decorations for the ceremony?? You just deal with what the venue has that season (there are multiple halls per venue so the hall you choose does have a specific style though) bouquet?? You just chose from the options they give you. Entrance songs? Also, choose from the list. Dress? If you want the venue can also rent some pretty dresses for you. Studio? If you want you can also choose from a few studios the venue has partnerships with. Makeup & hair? If you want you can also do it at the venue. (All these "if you want" things have an extra cost though but not much more if you did it independently) reception?? Pshhh what's a reception?? In Korea you do the ceremony, take some pictures, people eat at the venue's buffet while you do some traditional ceremony with just the family elders, afterward you greet the guests and leave. So yes, in Korea if you have the venue you do take care of most of the things brides back home worry about a lot. T and I have been over this wedding since before we even did anything for it so we just fucken did everything with the venue haha

Once you get the venue then you pick put the dress and do the photoshoot and whatnot, but that is not the hard part. Now you go around the family elders (especially your father-in-law's family) and tell them the news, then traditionally the bride has to give each of her father-in-law's siblings 1million krw (little less than a 1000 dollars??) But worry not! On the day of the ceremony you get half of it back (don't ask me why not even T gets it) obviously my family being in Colombia where the Peso is like 4 times less than the Won can not afford that, so my FIL helped us out. Another part which is apparently traditional is that your in-laws buy you jewelry (in addition to the rings) I got two pairs of earrings and a necklace with two pendants and that's cause I was basically forced ( don't feel that comfortable getting expensive stuff) and then there's this other tradition where the bride's friends barricade the bride in her house and the groom's friends have to coax her to come out with gifts by the groom, we didn't do that -it's actually not that common anymore- but t did get me a bag, remember that one post about the man feeling like he has to buy expensive shit for his partner? Yeh, we actually went yesterday and when we came home as we were going to sleep he said that he felt very good that he finally got me something expensive.

After you go around the family elders asking them to come (i couldn't go cause I had the flu) you do the invitations. Now when booking the venue you give an estimate of around how many people but its usually always around 200, why? Cause guest lists don't exist!!! "Only family and friends/close ones" is not a thing that is used here. T has to invite his whole station, I have to invite everyone at my work, he has to invite everyone in his badminton club and his parents get to invite whoever the fuck they want because this is about them, not you. My MIL's badminton club is all going, people, my FIL works with we have never seen in our lives and random people my MIL knows from her bar, not to mention that you don't get to say "no plus ones" or "no children" just know random people are also gonna show up haha but that's not even the issue either, it's giving the invitations. That's a whole other protocol that fucks me up, it's not like in the u.s were you just casually give people the invitations like "hey, go to my wedding, k, byeee" nope, you gotta invite people to dinner or at the minimum buy them some coffee and shit..iiif your close, if not Idk man I have no one to invite that I'm not close too but T has to invite like captains and superiors and the poor man is stressing the fuck out. To the people you're not that close to (or have to suck up to...there's a lot of sucking up in Korea from what I've learned), a simple online invitation will be enough haha

Now after the invitations, there are a few other details you gotta arrange like who's going to Mc the ceremony (one of T's friends) the picture table (it's a table with pictures of you two but you gotta pay for those too) who's going to receive the money envelopes, it's usually: a person from the brides family gets the money from the bride's guests and a person from the grooms family gets it from his gets but since my guests are less than 20 and I have no family here, who cares. Then who's going to catch the bouquet, apparently here you just don't throw it at a group of women but you have to ask someone specifically, I asked my coworker. And who's going to sing the congratulatory songs (축하) one of T's friends will sing "아로하" by Jo Jung-suk and my coworkers will perform AOA's heart attack. Oh, the venue also has a photographer, and on the day before the ceremony the bride is always in a little room sitting on a small couch while guests take pictures with her and the groom is greeting guests haha oh oh! The moms wear hanboks throughout the ceremony and the aunts too.

Then you have to get the hanboks for the traditional ceremony. You can rent those but the lady convinced us to let her make ours from scratch although you can still give them back to them to rent them but the lady and my MIL convinced us to buy them. The traditional ceremony 폐백 pyebaek, Idk how it really is because I've never seen one but I've been told you are in traditional Korean clothes, do some things like serving tea, bounce some ..some ...nuts? Circle thingies on a cloth, feed the family elders, and do an on-the-floor bow for each and every one of them while they hand you money and give you marriage advice. Then you go out and greet the guests while they eat and you starve (that's what everyone says) and you leave for your honeymoon. We can't go on an actual honeymoon cause of my work and Corona but we'll spend the weekend somewhere nice.

And...

that's all I think. I don't know if I'm missing anything its 3 am Haha

Anyway, i hope this was at least fin to read haha thank you!! You stay safe too!♡

[ellanainthetardis]

I was reading ch579 and I have a prompt! Haymitch is concerned about Peeta and Katniss so he does asks Effie for condoms and then she's all mad because why on Earth would he wants condoms for? (after MJ maybe?). She can go all the way to twelve to give the condoms to him too if you want to

There seems to be a problem with formating on mobile? I saw some of the words were stuck together… It is fine on desktop though so maybe check the ff link? [x]

Maybe One Day Hypothetically

Haymitch turned the page of his book, trying toignore the unusual agitation outside his house. The wedding dresses photoshoot– or whatever the Capitol was calling it – was in full swing over at Katniss’and there were a lot of staff crew members moving portable spotlights andwhat-nots, calling out to each other, laughing the mocking giggles Capitolslaughed or simply exploring the Village. He could hear them streets away.

He had made a conscious choice not to show up for it, unwilling to beroped into helping – and he would beroped into helping or, worse, into posing with the bride to be or somethingbecause that was how showbiz worked. Cinna would find him when he was ready ifthere was anything new to discuss.

He kept on reading, regularly bringing the cupof spiked herbal tea to his lips, and listening to the softer less aggravatingsounds of things being moved around in the house.

He might not have been sure about hiringHazelle, at first, but he was very sold now. Living in a clean house, havingclean laundry every day and not having to navigate around the health hazardsthat had been his kitchen and his bathrooms was a novelty he had gotten used tovery fast.

It was a bit awkward still, because they usedto be friends and now she was his housekeeper – hell, no, it was plain awkwardbecause they used to be friends and he had cut her off overnight like he hadcut everybody else off – but they were slowly finding their footing back. Hehad always liked Hazelle, she was steadfast, no-nonsense but she had a goodsense of humor.

“I’m done for today.” she declared, latemorning, walking in the living-room already wrapping her new red scarf aroundher neck. He had bought her the scarf as a gift – there had been a lot ofarguing on her part before she had accepted it but, as Haymitch had pointedout, she deserved a bonus for having unclogged his toilets. Saying he hadn’tbeen embarrassed by the state of the bathrooms was a stretch. She kept ontalking, snatching the empty mug he had placed on the floor next to hisarmchair to relocate it on the coffee table. “This goes in the sink when you’redone.” she ordered. He gave her a mock salute. “I’ve left you some soup fromSae’s on the stove for lunch. Don’t get excited, it’s rats.”

“My favorite.” he deadpanned, earning himself aquick amused smile.

It was a short one though. With the Hobdestroyed Sae was barely keeping her head above water. She kept on cooking whatshe could find at her own shack and people kept on trading her for a bowl ofsoup but times were hard.

“The laundry machine is almost done.” shecontinued. “It’d be great if youcould remember to put it in the dryer. And maybe put it away but I’m notholding my breath on that. Don’t leave it in the laundry machine, that will beenough to make me happy.”

“You’re cheap.” he accused.

“There’s also some warm bread on the counterand cheese buns in the fridge.” she added. “And I got you your liquor. It’s inthe cupboard.”

He had been running very low on his stock andtrafficking liquor with the new Peacekeepers around watching everyone was dangerous.He hated asking Hazelle to smuggle it in but his moves were more likely than not scrutinized.

He was also more likely to eat the bread andthe buns – that probably came from Peeta – than the soup he had only asked herto buy so Sae would have some cash. Unlike others, he didn’t trade at the Hob,he paid.

“Marry me.” he demanded.

Hazelle rolled her eyes, a retort already onher lips – probably something about how he was too much work or how he was toolate  or something along those lines –but a loud gasp interrupted the familiar banter.

He turned his head, a sinking feeling in hisstomach, to find Effie Trinket on the living-room threshold, flamboyant in hergreen and gold sequins dress, a heavy woolen hooded cloak thingy fastened witha gold brooch on her shoulders, carrying a rectangular glittery purse… Hewasn’t sure how he had missed her approach because she was, as usual, blindingand those green heeled boots of hers couldn’t be discreet.

“My apologies.” she immediately said, her facevisibly turning crimson under the powder covering her face. “I did not mean to interrupt or intrude. I didnot knock because… Well… I never do. I thought… My apologies. Please, go on.”

She whirled around and Haymitch sat there, hisheart hammering in his chest because…

“Calm down, Princess.” he called out, mockingand detached. At least that was what he aimed for. “Just joking.”

Hazelle had closed off as soon as she hadspotted the Capitol.  “I will see youtomorrow.”

“See you.” Haymitch muttered, his attention onEffie who had stopped her hasty retreat and was now hesitating in the corridor.

He didn’t miss the look of pure loathingHazelle tossed her when she passed her by or the disdainful way his escortsized her up and down. Effie jutted her chin up when she was done, a smallsatisfied sneer on her green painted lips. Clearly, she found herself prettier.

And she wasn’t wrong.

Although to be fair, Effie had been spoiled andpampered all her life when Hazelle had been forced to slave herself off to feedher children. They were around the same age, give or take a few years, butHazelle’s face was marked by hardship when Effie’s was smoothed with creams,lotions and make-up.

Once the front door closed softly behindHazelle, Effie’s jaw clenched again and she gave him a long hard look. Then sheturned around and started walking toward the kitchen. He had the very strongfeeling she was going to use the backdoor to go back to Katniss’ without havingto cross path with Hazelle.

He quickly hauled himself out of the armchair.

The good thing with her heels was that he wasalmost always guaranteed to catch up with her if he really tried.

“Effie.” he sighed, grabbing her wrist just asshe was about to round the table, her sight on the door.

“I do apologizefor intruding.” Effie snapped. “I willremember to knock next time. Since you never showed up to the photoshoot Iassumed you were expecting me to come to you and you usually never answer when I ring the doorbell orannounce my presence so… I thought you would be drunk, possibly. Why waste timewaiting in front of your door in the cold? Sillyof me. Not to mention rude. I will not take that sort of liberties again, Ipromise. I hope she did not think me too forward. I would hate not to be on good terms with your wife-to-be, that would makeworking together very awkward.”

“Effie, stop.” he insisted, giving her arm alittle shake. “Look around.”

She glared at him first, then she took a good look around and, if possible, her glarehardened when she realized just how clean everything was.

“Well.” she scowled. “Congratulation. You found yourself a girlfriend who can keep yourhouse clean. Perhaps I should ask her to give some pointers to the Avoxes atthe penthouse.”

He rolled his eyes. “I pay her for it.”

Effie pursed her lips and shrugged off his gripwith one strong tug. “I do not needto be made aware of your personal arrangements.”

“Since when?” he scoffed but she looked readyto bolt again so he lifted both hands in the air in a pacifying gesture. “She’sthe housekeeper, sweetheart. Just thehousekeeper.”

“Do you ask all the women in your employ tomarry you?” she retorted, opening her glittery purse and fishing tworectangular boxes out of it. She tossed them at him and he struggled to catchthem. “The condoms you wanted. I cannothelp but admit it was a big hintsomething was going on. I am not asstupid as I look.” She clicked her purse shut. “I would appreciate it if youmade an appearance at the photoshoot. It will make a nice aside piece for thedresses reveal, Caesar will like it.”

He grabbed her arm back before she could runoff, trapping her against the table with his body this time.

“Are you done being a bitch?” he grumbled. “The condoms are for Peeta.”

She shoved him but he refused to move. It hadbeen give or take three months since the last time he had seen her and he was damned if that was how it was going togo. It would be another three months before the Reaping and he wanted… Hewanted something to go on. A nicelittle hour locked in his bedroom would do the trick.

“The condoms are for Peeta.” she repeated, in amocking frosty voice. “Do you think me a fool?”

“I told him I’d get him some just in case.” he snapped.

She stopped trying to push him away to glare, her lips pursed. “Are you tellingme I left the children under your solesupervision for three little monthsand they are now having sex?”

“I’m telling you I ain’t taking any risk.” heretorted. “You should be happy.”

“Happy that you are lying to me?” she scoffed. “If I were to cross the street toPeeta’s house right now and ask him ifhe is expecting condoms, he would sayyes, then, wouldn’t he?”

That wasn’ta given.

“Look…” he sighed.

“You do notowe me anything.” she huffed. “You canadmit you have a girlfriend.”

“I don’t dogirlfriends.” he sneered, aggravated. “Why are you being so difficult?” He rolled his eyes. “Why amI even asking stupid questions…” He shook his head. “And you’re right. I don’t owe you anything so can you drop thejealousy act?”

He hadn’t thought she could purse her lipsharder but, apparently, she could. Worse,hurt was starting to replace anger in her blue eyes and she was clearly bitingdown on the inside of her cheek.

“I need to go back to the shoot.” she grittedthrough clenched teeth.

“You need to stop being an idiot.” he mumbled,running a hand in his hair, feeling awkward. “I ain’t screwing Hazelle. Like Isaid she’s just a friend.”

“I thought she was just your housekeeper.” she hissed. “Now she is a friend?”

“You’re twisting everything I say.” hecomplained.

“You asked me to bring condoms despite the factwe have not used any in ages and whenI come here I find you asking a woman to marry you.” she spat, her blue eyesfilling with tears.

And, alright, from that point of view…

He tentatively placed his hands on her hips.

“We ain’t a couple, sweetheart.” he remindedher slowly. He wanted to be firm, to be cruel maybe because that had alwaysbeen the best way to keep her at arm-length but… It had been a while since hehad truly wanted to keep her atarm-length. “No strings.”

Her face closed off and, a second later, Effiewas gone and the escort was back. A charming cheerful smile on her lips, eyesshining bright in excitement rather than sorrow, the perfect picture ofhappiness. A lovely doll on a shelf.

He hated it when she did that.

He wasn’t sure at which point she had startedbeing herself around him, when shehad started losing the mask for him but… He liked the real her, the woman hiding behind her armor of silk and powder… Theescort was ruthless and fake and while he understood the necessity of stickingto a public personal – his old drunk one wasn’t a favorite of hers either – hehated it when she turned it against him.

“Don’t do that.” he chided, cupping her cheek.

She tried to remove his hand.

“Please, be careful not to smudge my make-up.”she complained in an even voice, as if they hadn’t just been arguing. “I really needto go back now.”

“You ain’t a photographer and you ain’t astylist.” he countered. “They can do without you.”

“Still.” She shot him her most dazzling smile.“I would rather keep an eye onKatniss.”

He should have let her go. He should have lether go and jumped on the opportunity because in a few months, the rebellionwould start and she would be better off if she wasn’t closely associated withhim. It would be safer for her. Hell,it would be safer for both of them.

And yet…

“Didn’t sleep with her.” he insisted, retracingher cheekbone with his thumb, his fingers toying with the minty green wig onher head. Testing if it was glued on or if there was any chance she would takeit off… “Don’t sleep with anyone else.” he added with a wince after a momentbecause she didn’t look convinced. “You know that.”

“No, I do not.”she replied, in that sing-song bubbly tone he hated. “No matter. As you said,it is no concern of mine. No stringsit is. Besides, I have prospects tooin the city.”

He moved before her words even fullyregistered, getting into her space, pinningher against the table…

“Mine.”he growled.

If she was disturbed by the sudden brutal move,she didn’t let on. Her nails were digging hard into his arms. “Am I?”

He stole a kiss, not giving her a chance toprotest. Her mouth remained closed and unforgiving under his.

“Princess…” he scowled. The hand that was onher cheek slid to her nape and the one on her waist found her ass… “Stop beinga bitch.”

“Arethose condoms for you?” she demanded to know.

“They’re for the boy.” he sighed, bumping hisnose against her cheek. “Come on…When was the last time I even…”

“What do I know?” she cut him off. “That womanseemed awfully cozy in your house.Leaving you lunch and talking about your laundry.”

“She’s my housekeeper.” he repeated, tired ofthe endless argument.

“I thought she was your friend.” she remarkedbitterly.

“Can’t she be both?” he grumbled.

She turned her head to the side and he attackedher neck with his mouth, making quick work of that golden brooch that kept thewoolen cloak on her shoulders. She must have started to see reason, he figured,or she wouldn’t have let him kiss her neck like that.

“Don’t you dareleave a mark.” she warned. Her hands slowly moved up to his shoulders, alittle hesitant. She was trembling and he didn’t think it had to do withdesire.

With a sigh he drew back, meeting her eyespoint blank. “I didn’t fuck her. Iain’t ever gonna fuck her. Or another one for that matter. I really wanna fuck youthough. So, what it’s gonna be? We fuckor we wait for three more months?”

She shot him an aggravated look, a pout on herlips.

“Language.” she rebuked. Her blue eyes searchedhis and then she looked away, to a distant point over his shoulder. “Are you in love with her?”

“For fuck’ssake, what do I have to say for you to getit?” he shouted, losing his patience.

He stepped back and marched toward thecupboard, grabbing a glass and a bottle of moonshine and slamming both on thecounter.

“You said you did not sleep with her not that you did not have feelings for her.” she shot right back. “You asked her to marry you.”

“It was a fuckingjoke!” he snapped, pouring himself a glass and downing it in one go.

“You neverjoke about that with me.” shescowled.

“’Cause with you it wouldn’t be a joke.” he retorted before he could think it through. Whenwhat had just slipped out of his mouth registered, he froze. She was watchinghim with wide startled eyes. A long deep hush fell on the kitchen. He wassqueezing the glass so tight he wasn’t really surprised when it cracked. He putit down before it shattered and he licked his lips. “I mean…” he clarified, hisvoice sounding hollow to his own ears. “You can’t take a joke. You’d take itseriously. Not that… I didn’t mean I’d want…”

“Alright.” she whispered.

Her face was blank and he didn’t dare meet hereyes, didn’t dare face the turmoil of emotions he was pretty sure was ondisplay there.

“Didn’t sleep with Hazelle.” he insisted.“Don’t have feelings for her either.”

“Alright.” she repeated.

“Condoms are for Peeta.” he concluded.

“Alright.” she said again.

He wasn’t sure what to do with all thatmeekness, wasn’t sure how they were going to escape the awkwardness in thekitchen, so he did what he always did when he was unsure: he turned her back toher and poured himself another drink.

“Haymitch?” she called. He heard the quietruffling of fabric behind him and figured she was putting her cloak back on.

“What?” He looked through the window over thesink at his deserted weed infested backyard and told himself it was fine. Shewould go and the next time they saw each other, it would be alright.

“Is this table clean?” she asked.

“Should be. Hazelle scrubs everything down.”The question was odd and he glanced at her over his shoulder, thinking maybeshe would suggest having lunch to salvage what could be of the day, only to doa double-take when he realized she hadn’tbeen putting her cloak back on. He turned around completely, hastily placingthe glass down on the counter, his eyes roaming over all the bare creamy skinon display…

She had lost the dress and the heels. And shewas giving him a sultry look.

“Fuckme on it.” she commanded.

His feet moved without his leave and, soonenough, she was lying on his kitchen table, he was naked too and he was definitely enjoying having a cleanhouse. It wasn’t like they had never done that on a table – hell, if thepenthouse’s dining-room could talk… – but it was a little different to have herlike that in his house, on a table heused mostly every day.

Afterward, while she was still lying therebasking in her afterglow, he kissed her stomach, nuzzled her thigh…

“I have a badhabit of breaking engagements.” she murmured suddenly.

His heartbeat quickened but he refused to givein to panic. “No kidding. How many again? Three?”

“Three.” she confirmed. “I believe the fourthtime might be the charm.”  

“I feel bad for the poor guy who ever put aring on your finger.” he taunted but he also kissed the inside of her knee andoffered a hand to help her sit up.

She took it and immediately locked her anklesbehind his legs, trapping him right there. She nipped at the tender flesh underhis ribcage. “You should if he doesn’t get me a big diamond ring… I have been waiting a long time for it, I expecta pretty one.”

He rolled his eyes but wrapped his arms aroundher slender frame, running his fingers down her spine.

“Good thing I’mnever marrying you, then.” he snorted. “You’re too fussy.”

She seemed to deflate a little. “They would never let us, would they? Even if… Wewould not be able to.”

“Not right now, no.” He shrugged. “Capitols andDistricts don’t mix, sweetheart. We’re barely better than animals, remember?”

“Perhaps one day.” she whispered against hisskin. A promise or a consolation, he wasn’t sure.

“Would imply I actuallywant to marry you.” he grumbled.

“Maybe one day hypothetically.” she corrected with asad chuckle.

“Yeah…” he sighedagainst her neck. “Hypothetically.”

He told himself itwasn’t part of why he really wantedthat revolution to work out.

It’s here, the giant Bronycon post!

As per usual I don’t usually make this many words ever so shit might be wonky. and also it was written over the course of a few days so things might not line up in the right order. Also, fair warning I get kinda weird and sentimental at the end there. Also I have no idea if tumblr will break the formatting real bad so heres hoping it doesn’t

Thursday We left early without much incident. Only a group of 4 this time. Me, Andy, his brother Justin, and Andy's girlfriend Sam who was coming in via plane.

It was a really easy journey. Even stopped at the one Speedway with the good hotdogs. I decided to tie a ribbon in my hair too, I always say I should do something more with it than just tie it back. So I figured I'd try it. We got to Baltimore in what felt like no time at all. We checked in and went to our rooms and waited for Sam. I fiddled with my little electric name badge thingy I bought last year. Got it to say my name and Bronycon 2018 with some hearts and sparkles. Once Sam got settled in, we all met back up to go to pre-reg. She and I were afraid we'd weird each other out but we ended up getting along great. We all went to pre-reg and picked up our badges. Then, after dropping our stuff off at the hotel we ventured back out into the inner harbor for food and hanging out. We opted not to go to Dick's this time, opting instead to go to Tir na Nog. Got my usual pub food. The Vodka cranberry (yes even though I planned on drinking later) and the plain cheese burger. I like to eat the same thing at all the places, because I think it's neat to see the same food through the different lenses of different restaurants. Tir na Nog in Baltimore is different than O'Toole's in Albany is different from Jack Astor's in Toronto. After that we went to the big Barnes and Noble and looked at books and stuff. Then we all went to that ice cream shop thats right next door. They sell tea apparently so I got a small one. Missed the regular size straws so I had a huge straw (Like a goddamn footlong) in a tiny cup (like 3 inches). We went to the bars in Fells point after that. We only got slightly lost, but we found it. We didn't register for the actual bar trot, cause you don't really have to to enjoy drinks. We went to the Dog's Watch Tavern first cause they usually have a good shot, which in this instance was a Pinkie Pie shot. Don't know what was in it but I had several. We went to the Admiral after that. It was the best as it usually is. I think I drank like, 4 of the Trixie, there was a Sunset Shimmer drink (But it was secretly the Applejack. I liked it anyway). And I had most of a Rainbow Dash drink. I must say, I absolutely adore the atmosphere at this bar. The bartender is great and clearly loves what he does. A couple people recognized me cause I sit in the same spot more or less every time, and the goggles that I wear. That was pretty neat. Got pretty drunk, decided to go back after that to prep for the next day. We got a little bit lost on the way back too, but it brought us by the CVS so I bought a couple boxes of PopTarts. We got back to the hotel and went to bed.

Friday

Tried to get up for opening but missed most of it. Caught the tail end of it though. Sleep deprivation got me, plus the buttload of alcohol didn't really help. Hung out in the harmony plaza til the apple family panel. There was a photoshoot that happened but there wasn't a ton of people there. Saw apple family VA panel. It was pretty funny. Went to the vendor hall and walked it to get the layout, I didn't want to just chaotically walk around and not know where anything was so I strictly just walked each isle in a pattern. Actually helped me remember where booths were. I spoke to an artist about getting a comission for a friend who couldn't make it. His slots were full for the day so I figured I'd come back Saturday. I bought an original piece from him, which was actually pretty cool. I then went to the comic booth. I am trying to get at very least the A and B covers for every comic, Plus I wanted first prints of the first issue mane 6 covers. I got the first prints of the two #1 issues I needed. Then I got invited to Jonny Rockets, and due to needing to finish something in the vendor hall it took me a little bit. My friends are cool and waited for me even though I went on one hell of a journey to get there. So I got out of the vendor hall which exited by the Hilton sky bridge. Figure, shit I'll just take the sky bridge on the opposite side so I go for it. Get out there, pass the other hotel (hyatt?) and what used to be a wide open plaza. (Now it's a parking lot). Realize the goddamn thing ends there and there is no way down (unless I went back through the convention center and all the way back around), and more of the bridge is missing. Figure I don't want to walk all the way back so I go through the hotel. No idea if I was supposed to go through that door cause it looks like there were unused decorations everywhere. Nobody stopped me so I made it out to the street. Realize I still have to walk to the corner to cross, but say fuck it and randomly cross in the middle to the street island thing. Then I almost died to a puddle walking on the sidewalk behind some food trucks. Caught myself though. Finally I get there and we hang out and get a burger. On our way back I managed to drop a Pokemon on the Bronycon gym. We went back to the vendor hall. Hung out and looked at stuff. Me an Sam went shopping for pillows. We each bought one, only the case though. Had no space to store the full whole thing.  We went to the whoves line pannel after that. It was really funny, especially the bit where they acted like the friendship map was a computer that got a ton of viruses and went to a "bad dragon" website. I am surprised I've never gone to it before. We went to Jimmy Johns for dinner and then dropped our stuff off at the hotel and headed to the palooza. The performances were great, although they somehow got super off schedule. I bought a Shake-Ups CD. I stayed until the end. I enjoy the palooza immensely, but those 2AM nights are rough. My legs end up being noodles and its a guarantee I won't get to bed until atleast 330. Which is about when I went to bed.

Saturday

Had a bit of a slow start but I wanted to speak to the artist about that comission for my friend who couldn't make it. Even though I was slow, I still got there early enough. The thing he wanted would have been too complex, so I came up with something I think he'll like. Then I went to the comic booth and figured out what I needed to complete the A and B covers for the main comic series. It was cool cause they just let me into the booth to look. I believe I've done it, I just have to add everything to my app to make sure. I ran out of space in my comic storage, so I only did the main series. Next year I will buy for the side series. (There is a lot less). As of typing this out, I found the shop's location. Only a 3 hour drive. Might make a trip of it so I don't have to worry about it at next year's con. Dunno. Met back up with Andy and Sam in vendor hall. We looked around before leaving to get food and make a hotel drop. We got lunch at the JJ before heading to the script reading panel with Tabitha. Usually they're pretty strict about recording at these. Usually one of the staff says something about my camera, but nobody said anything. Or mentioned not recording it at all. I wonder if anyone uploaded it. It was about the mane 6 and a convention called "boomycon" which was about an alt. universe Derpy as a comic character who rides a meteor or something. The comic characters crossed over into the regular universe and shenanigans ensued. It was pretty funny. After that we went back to vendor hall to check on something, and I bought another of those dang pillows, and these weird flow rings, plus some other small stuff, including some super fucking adorable chibi-ball plushie things of Fluttershy and Tempest (Pretty sure I posted pictures). We made a hotel drop and got food. We tried to get into the DIY pony plush making but ultimately the wait list was too long. At this point we went to the sky terrace thing. Apparently there was a wedding, which is really fucking cool! Then we just found some chairs to just kind of chill in. Justin had a mini-pizza that came in a mini-pizza box. We're just sitting there talking and some guy came up and leaned over. We all thougt maybe he had left something. Then we notice he's signing the empty pizza box? He then just says you're welcome and leaves. It took a second then we realized... It was MA Larson. Fucking hillarious. I went back to the hotel again, meeting up with a friend on the way back. Met back up with everyone else at the palooza after that.  Brought the rings I bought and was playing with them, while doing my awkward-ass flail dancing. A couple people thought they were cool which was neat. I really enjoyed all the performances. A cover of 500 miles happened, Eurobeat was fantastic. Great show. I caught a T-Shirt that was thrown. (Which never happens ever and even though it's a small size it still fits.) Again I stayed until 2 AM, got to bed about 330.

Sunday Sundays are usually always the chill day where not much happens. Woke up around the usual time and headed over to the vendor hall. I wandered and bought some last minute things (Pillow #3...). I met back with everyone else around noon. We spent most of day in vendor hall just hanging out. One thing I did, was get a comission of my pony OC. I've been wanting to for years, just to say I had so I finally did it. I'm looking forward to it. Also saw a little digital badges that you could store pictures in. After that we went to the fountains to hang out before lining up for closing ceremonies. They opened with a nifty performance by Step2Harmony. Some of the guests said their farewells before the con chairs started talking about the numbers, a little more than 5000 people. (I don't remmeber the exact number, might have been closer to 5600?). After that was a skit involving the mascots. Blank Canvas got accepted into an art school and Hoof Beatz was going on tour, and the date they were leaving was the end of August next year. They run off stage and Mane Event just stood there like "What about us... : (" Scene end. Sure enough, the con chairs came back out and annouced that next year is going to be a 4 day event instead of a 3 day event. They also anounced that next year is going to be the last Bronycon and that they are ending the event in 2019. You could feel the moment where everybody's hearts broke. There were a lot of people crying. I was pretty choked up too, and I'm honestly not sure how I kept myself together. We walked back to the hotel. While we were waiting for the elevators, you could tell the mood was pretty sombre. Dropped off my bag and went back down to the lobby to wait for Andy and Sam. We all headed down to the inner harbor to go to Bubba Gumps. We had a hour and a half wait, that we spent hanging out in the harbor and the pavillion. One of them seemed to be closed this year. They seem to get smaller and smaller each year. Bubba Gumps as always was fantastic. I got the usual Shrimper's Heaven. Even got to eat the shrimp that Sam didn't eat. Bonus shrimp! Spent 60$ on my check and regret nothing. We went back to the hotel with the intent of playing some Shipfic in the one banquet room the hotel usually has open, which we did! Another group played the pony movie which was neat. We also saw an Insomnia Cookies down in Fells Point so we decided to order some. It took a little more than an hour. But I got the call and they showed up to the hotel and handed me a very warm box. The cookies were fantastic. Every bit worth the wait. I think I have one somewhere relatively close to my home but I'm nowhere near the delivery radius. Probably a good thing because I would go broke buying cookies. They're pretty awesome. Some guy had also had a baby skunk! No idea how he pulled that off or how the hotel was cool with it but it was really cute. Once the movie ended most of the people left. After that we went back to our rooms. Me and Sam got a group picture of all the pillows we bought. I packed most of my stuff after that and went to bed.

Monday.

Woke up, got the car all packed and cleared the rooms pretty quick. We had thought to do some other stuff, but we really didn't have time. Instead we went to Tir na nog and just hung out until we had to leave. Any day you can be mildly drunk before noon and have it not be a problem is a good day. We dropped Sam off at the airport after saying our goodbyes. We hit the road after that and started our journey home. Which was honestly fairly uneventful. No one's windsheild broke. No one's catalytic converter got stolen. We made a couple of stops but nothing really interesting. Got home way earlier than I'm used to. Like 5:30-6PM. And then I realized, Bed, Bath and Beyond was still open. So I drove out there to get the actual pillows for the pillow cases. Found the exact ones the guy at the booth I bought them from. They were on sale, so they were only 20$. Then I had the fun time of fitting 3 hugeass pillows in my really tiny car. Got back home and finished unpacking.  

Conclude:

I had a really good time this year. It was very a relaxing trip and I enjoyed spending time with everybody. It never quite feels long enough. I didn't make any real attempt at cosplaying this year. Just didn't really feel into it. I did wear my Sylveon ears that were given to me by a friend though. And I had my goggles, which are just kind of a thing now I guess. I tied a blue ribbon in my hair too. I never do anything with it and I guess I decided now was the time. I think I'm going to do that more often from now on. Next, I am beyond incredibly sad that next year is the last one. Bronycon has been one of the big things I look forward to doing each year. It's easily been one of the best cons I've ever been to. The atmosphere was great, the staff was great. The con ending will also mark the end of a 12 year tradition for me of going down to Baltimore for a con. The only year I wasn't able to go to was 2010 because there was just no way I was going to be able to swing it. Aside from that, I went to Otakon from 2006 until 2012. I had honestly kinda burned out on that though and wasn't sure if I was gonna go back, but it would be shortly after returning from the 2012 Otakon, Bronycon announced that they were gonna move to the Baltimore Convention Center in 2013. Some other friends were interested in going, and since I knew the area so well, we decided to go for it. I went every year after that. Hell, it's how I ended up meeting Andy (which is a pretty funny story all on it's own), it's also how I ended up recconecting with another friend of mine from way back in the day as well as others. There were good times and adventures to be had outside the Con as well. Bubba Gumps, the bar trot in Fells Point(that goddamn Trixie drink, looked like something I'd never have been able to drink, but it is easily my favorite alcoholic drink that has ever existed. I really hope I can get the recipe next year), the bigass barnes and noble, the aquarium, the pavillion. It seems like every year it gets better and I've never felt bored of it or burned out. I am going to miss this immensely, I suppose I'll have to find another con to go to, or atleast other adventures to have but one thing is for sure, I'm never going to forget any of this. All the good times that we've had, or this big thing I've been a part of or this place that has brought me so much joy over the years.

(Once next year ends and I walk out of that convention center for the last time, I am going to be a complete goddamn mess. It's going to be a terrible day for rain...)

Also, though I don't know if you'll ever read it, as I don't think we've spoken in several years now, to the person who convinced me to go to that first Otakon back in '06, Thank you. For introducing me to this place, and setting off a real wacky series of adventures. I don't know if any of this would have happened if you hadn't convinced me to come down here all those years ago. Once again, thank you, and I hope you're doing well.

tl;dr Good fuckin' con, but Pete fuckin' sad.

so I had this idea in my head for a while and just thought that this would be really cool to write about

And I’m really sorry. English is not my first language

if you haven’t watched this movie yet PLEASE WATCH (it’s my favorite don’t even get me started) 

SPOILERS AHEAD // hope you like it <3

Ok, let’s start then (this starts in the 80s)

so you and Peter have been best friends since ever 

started with you being next door neighbours and outcasts at school

Peter was this really skinny nerdy boy and you were awkard and really smart  

you had this habit to share sweets (RAZZLES) and to greet each other in another languages

“Arrivederci” “Au revoir”

your relationship was based on mutual trust and weird stuff that only you two understood

seriosly you could almost talk telepathically

Peter had this hobby to take pictures around and sometimes he even took them for the school paper and some of you 

you have ever wanted to work on your favorite magazine (Poise) editorial and you have like all of their editions

the story really starts when you had the yearbook shoot in your 13th birthday and turns out B A D

but you don’t get too sad ‘cause Peter said that it looked good 

“don’t worry Y/N, it can’t be worse than mine. I actually sneezed!”

six girls walks down the corridor like it was a catwalk and stops right in front of you

oops, forgot to tell you that Y/N really wanted to be popular and those girls used her for homework and projects

Peter knew about that and tried to warn you but guess what, you didn’t listen

the leader of their gang (Tom-Tom) usually approached you two to make fun of Peter and you used to follow her lead, laughing together

shitty habit i know

and on that they she told you that her group and your crush Flash Thompson wouldn’t come over to your party unless they finish their group project 

so you say you would do it for them ‘cause you’re too naive to see bad in people

when you come home you start to get ready for your party, doing your makeup and picking a outfit that would fit better with the mean girls even putting some tissues on your top to look like you have boobs but nobody needs to know that

so while getting ready you read the last edition of Poise magazine and saw a story saying that the 30s are the best years of your life and claims that you want to be 30

“30, flirty and thriving.”

then you go down to your basement where the party would be held and put your jam on

I’m talking about Thriller ‘cause you know the whole choreography

when Peter arrived he just watched you dance because he is so fuCKING CUTE AND NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED

then he gives you the big box with a pink lace on top that is your present 

“You know how you always wanted a Barbie Dream House? Well, I decided to make you your own Y/N Dream House”

you just stare to the big doll house that he built by himlsef and made just for you, showing all the rooms and faces from old pictures cut and glued to little dolls 

then he sprinkles wishing dust all over the little roof and you close your eyes to make a wish by the time the doorbell rings

you began to panic and put the house away like it meant nothing and Peter just looks at you with his big doe eyes and feels his heart starting to break

the party starts and all of your guests are in the basement 

Tom-Tom starts to be mean to Peter and you again follow her lead so he goes upstairs 

then again, Tom-Tom comes into scene and suggests to play 7 minutes in heaven and says to you that Flash is dying to kiss you, but doesn’t closes the closet door before asking you where is her project and puts a blindfold in your eyes

Tom-Tom’s gang and Flash’s friends starts to leave the party and Tom-Tom finds Peter and says that you were waiting for him in the closet

so when he opens the door he sees you with a smile eye-to-eye and his world lights up

“I thought you weren’t gonna come”

he’s just so happy to hear that that he entrelaces your fingers together and leans in for a kiss, never making it because you called him “Flash” 

it all goes downhill when you see that it’s Peter and everybody is gone and you started to blame him and locked yourself on the closet

you slides down the shelf where the Y/N Dream House is and starts to hit your head back, making the whole shelf move and some wishing dust to fall on you while you keep saying:

“I wanna be 30“

Here’s where the shit goes REALLY crazy

You wake up in a bed that isn’t yours and a flat that isn’t yours either

you find a mirror and sees that the reflection isn’t the same too

then you find a weird nude guy calling you sweetbun

you leave your flat in your pajamas after you saw his thingy and finds a blonde woman standing in front of a car and screaming at her phone and telling you to get in

so you starts to find out a lot of things about you and it comes to your mind that your wish was fulfilled. You are now 30 and were the editor of the Poise magazine, best friends with Tom-Tom (now you call her Lucy) and prom queen with Flash as prom king.

but then you starts to miss Peter and wonder where he is, so you ask your secretary to find him

when she does you leave the office and runs across the city to find his flat and knock on his door

“You’re not chinese”

you just stares at him and realizes that Peter isn’t a skinny nerdy guy. Now he’s tall and strong, with abs showing on his shirt and his wavy hair is now pulled back giving a whole new and hotter look.

then your panic comes back when he tells you that you’re not best friends anymore and you find yourself sitting in a bench while holding a fluffy pillow and drinking a glass of water

when you calm down you two go back to your apartment and you find your yearbook seeing the pictures of prom and Tom-Tom’s gang that you turned out to be their leader

“This is incredible, I can’t believe that I got everything I’ve ever wanted” “Yeah Y/N, you got it all. Congratulations.”

You receive a call telling you about a Poise party at night and you invite Peter to come and he says that he’ll think about it

by the night you starts to get ready ala 80′s style and find thongs in your HUGE closet

“Can you tell I’m wearing underwear? ‘Cause I totally am”

when you get to the party you find Lucy and asks for a drink

“ I'll have a Pina Colada, not virgin. Wanna see my ID? Totally have it!”

then your boss comes to you and starts to panic about people starting to leave so you get an idea and go to the DJ

Thriller starts to play and you go to the middle of the dance floor, doing the choreography

starting to feel uncomfortable alone, you find Peter in the crowd and your heart skips a beat, your feet in a hurry to get him and making him dance with you

and literally everybody starts to dance too and your boss is so happy

but Peter says he need to leave and you hold hands for a second and your whole body heats up, having a weird sensation by the time he lefts

time passes and one night you’re outside a restaurant with Lucy and you see Peter walking by and ask what he’s doing there

then a beautiful ginger girl appears on his side and he introduces her as his fiancée, Mary Jane

your heart breaks a little and you feel numb for a second

you come back to your reality when the naked guy appears on your side and started to talk to Peter and his fiancée

Peter then leave and Lucy tells you to go to the naked guy’s (Alex’s) flat to play games

when you get there you suggests battleship and he starts to kiss your ear and you don’t know what to do while he keeps flirting

then he starts to striptease and do a weird dance and you look away trying to hide your shame

“Put your penis away, I don’t want to see it again!”

as the days goes by you start to realize what an awful person you’ve become on this alternative universe. You found that you have been screwing your coworkers husband and things that you never knew you could do

feeling bad, you go to Peter’s apartment and ask him if he wanted to go for a walk

you start to talk about the future and his wedding plans 

then curiosity strikes you and you finally ask him about what happened to your friendship

you watch the pain in his eyes while he tells you about your 13th party 

he says that you threw the Y/N Dream House that he spent 3 weeks building at him and never talked to him again

you feel awful

you became a monster after all

after that night you crash into your parents house and locks yourself in the same closet from your birthday party and realizes that the Y/N Dream House isn’t there

so you hit your head purposely on the same shelf and your parents find you in there

the morning after your mother makes you pancakes with blueberry eyes 

“If you were given one do over anything in your life what would it be?” “Nothing” “Really?” “Really.” “But did you ever make a big mistake... a huge one that could change your life... what about that?” “Well, Y/N, I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes but I don’t regret any of them” “How come?” “Because If I haven’t had make them I wouldn’t have learned how to do things right.”

going through the pages of your yearbook you see that Peter was the one who took the pictures and a huge idea comes into your mind

you hire Peter to do a photoshoot with people recreating those pictures and have lots of fun while doing that

he can’t take his eyes off of you and his hearts melts a little whenever you laugh

you even dance together under the fake snow while doing the winter dance shoot

he even gives you a white peony while doing the class of 2004

later that day you two started to talk about the past and you two get Razzles and go for a walk 

“Hey Peter, tell me something. What color is my tongue?” “Is red, I don’t know... red?” “Red red or Razzles red?”

then you two started to compete who would go higher on a swingset 

it was beautiful ‘till you two fell

and it was beautiful again when you landed on his chest and his hand started to caress your bare sholder sending you chills on your spine

“Hey, you got arm hair” “Never got quite that reaction before.”

then you two started to smile at each other like the two dorks you were in the past and he leans in to kiss you

it was magical, every second of it. You just wished you could stay like that forever

when the day of the presentations came, you were super nervous to show your ideas ‘cause you were afraid about the opinions

so Lucy presents first and it wasn’t very well

and when you present your project, everybody go crazy about it and loving the idea of the class of 2004

but Lucy wasn’t very happy and goes to your office to find out that you were the one that was selling Poise ideas to Sparkle, the rival magazine

Peter goes to your office to talk to you and finds Lucy, who said to him that you changed your mind about his pictures and hired someone more professional 

so you decided to go to his apartment to tell him that everybody loved his photos and you find Mary Jane wearing one of his shirts

the special one that he was wearing when they kissed on the playground

and she tells you that she will tell him when he gets back from picking up his tux and that they’re getting married on the next day

your heart completly breaks

the next day when you go to work you find out the whole floor empty and everybody packing from their offices

your boss tells you that Sparkle published your story and you find out that Lucy did it and she throws in your face all of the bad things you have done and how you sold all of the Poise stories to Sparkle

feeling worse than ever you decided to go to Peter’s wedding and calls a cab

later on you find out that the cab driver is actually Flash Thompson and just jumps out of it running like crazy

when you arrived at Peter’s yard you entered the house and ran to his old room, finding he knotting his tie while looking at the window

he looks at you and you can swear you saw a sparkle in his eyes

and you did

so you tried to tell him that Lucy was talking about a person that wasn’t you anymore

“It doesn’t matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my poprocks on the third grade.”

you can’t help but smile at him and his dorkness

“Peter, I have to believe that if you knew that... if in your heart you really really knew that, you wouldn’t be getting married to someone right now, unless that someone were me”

he doesn’t look at you and you begin to panic already regretting but feeling like going on.

you started to miss his eyes and every blink looks like an eternity

“Y/N, I’m not gonna lie to you... I’ve felt things this past weeks that I didn’t know that I could feel anymore.”

you feel a smile forming on your lips but disappearing right after he completes his sentence.

“But I’ve realized in this past few days... you can’t just turn back time”

when you question him about it, he said that he’d moved on and you had too. And when he mentions Mary Jane you think about how good she is to him and can’t feel comfortable about the view of him wearing that tux and being ready to say “yes”

so you started to cry

then he opens his closet and you see the Y/N Dream House, feeling a knot involving all of your internal organs and or fingers start to tremble

you cry even more

it still have the wishing dust all over the plastic roof and you feel your heart warms at the thought of him putting it all over

he gives it to you and you hold the dream house in your arms, trying to feel it like one of his hugs and smile at him

“I’ll be fine, go on! I’m just crying because I’m happy... I-I want you to be so so happy”

talking a deep breath, your voice starts to shake while he gives you a sad smile

“I love you, Peter. You’re my best friend”. 

when you put your hand on the doorknob he took an audible deep breath

“Y/N, I’ve always loved you”

and your mind lingers on the word “loved” 

he loved you, but now he loves Mary Jane

so you go down the stairs and sit in the front yard, still holding the Y/N Dream House

the wedding music started playing and every melody sounded lower than your heart breaking a little more while your chest felt so heavy that it could send you to the ground in a blink

you started to play with the objects in the little rooms on the doll house and the wind started to blow against your face

you didn’t even care, your mind was only focused on how you wanted to be with Peter

and suddently there was wishing dust all over the ar, flying around you as your eyes were closed, trying to fight against the tears

you started to hear a song that wasn’t a wedding song and tried to open your eyes, being stopped by a blindfold

as you took it off, you saw that you were back again in that closet in your 13th birthday party and a warm feeling was all over you

Peter opened the closet door and you attacked him with a hug and kissed him

on his lips!

“Wow, you really know what you’re doing!”

you smiled at him and grabbed his hand, leading him upstairs and found Tom-Tom in the middle of it

you saw the group project that you did by yourself in her hands and ripped it appart, smirking at her and running again

“C’mon Peter, we’re gonna be late!” “For what?” “You’ll see!”

as the years passed, you and Peter only grew stronger and loving each other even more

the wedding music was now played for you two while you walked down the aisle and find his marvelous smile waiting for you

soon you two moved to a brand new house

Y/N and Peter Dream House

Our Proposal Story

I’ve dreamt of the picture perfect proposal for as long as I can remember. Also, I knew I wanted to marry Julian basically 6 months after we dated 😊 so it wasn’t hard to imagine our future together (and in my case, imagining how our proposal would be). Well in my dream, our proposal will be at a national park, preferably Joshua Tree because it was the first national park we visited together. He would tell me that we’re going on a photoshoot, hence why we’re all dressed up, we’d have a picnic and in the middle of it, he’ll get down on one knee and proposed with my dream ring (at that time, it was a rose gold , princess cut) . But God had a bigger (and much better) plan for our proposal ❤️

Earlier in 2019, Julian found a sermon series called Relationship Goals by Transformation Church.(I’m gonna put the link here because it is SO SO worth it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhYvOKkFVSGt1Impq3TEBxrSpw3rbdbz6)

It was an 8 part series about relationship, starting from singleness, all the way to marriage, sex, and how to have a healthy and fulfilling relationship according to God’s ways. I didn’t expect much from this series, but our relationship literally got elevated from this series. This series taught us so much about the kind of relationship that God has planned for us, if we follow His instruction and we were in awe on how much this series moved us. We started watching it together, taking notes, discussing it, and finally when we finished, we realized that it is now time for us to take our relationship to the next level. We are reaching our 5 years of relationship this year and we felt that God had put it in our hearts to make the commitment to each other. And since we were planning to go to Indonesia to meet his parents, we decided to get engaged there so his family can be a part of it as well.

Throughout the year, we started discussing about the proposal. How do we do it? We are Indonesian American, so we feel called to incorporate both sides of our cultures. In the Indonesian culture, the guy doesn’t typically get down on one knee and give the girl a ring. Typically, the guy’s parents would come to the girls’ parents’ house, they have this whole party/ceremony thing, and at the end, they exchange rings or some sort of dowry thingy. It’s pretty cool, but I’m definitely not down for the whole dowry thing because, I’m never a fan of the concept of dowry. Then, we looked at the American side of a proposal where it typically involves the guy looking through the girl’s pinterest to find out what type of ring she likes, then he secretly meets her parents to ask for their permission, then he plans a surprise where he then proposes. We thought that’s great, but it just doesn’t feel like us. We both hate surprises, and we’re not too sure about the fact that only the man asking a woman for marriage, when marriage is supposed to be about two people coming together. We know it’s so strange for us to even feel that way, and we’re not trying to bash on American culture but that’s just not us. So, what did we do? we prayed. Because we desperately need some clarity and we believe wholeheartedly that God will gives us a vision. Finally, just about 2 weeks before we’re leaving to Indo, Julian called me. He has a vision on how this proposal is going to happen!

This might sound very very weird/strange to many people so bear with me. In his vision, he sees us kneeling down together before God to ask for His blessing as we propose to each other. The concept was for us to do this thing together because we believe that we are both equally involved in this relationship. It was a beautiful and sweet idea and I knew that it’s so authentically us. I loved that involves both of us, not just him, and the fact that it’s us asking God, not him asking me for marriage. Now, the only question remaining is: when exactly are we going do this proposal? We’ll be in so many beautiful places with many wonderful scenic spots that will make my picture perfect proposal dream come true, so, the question is when and where? 🧐

We had thought of doing this during our engagement ceremony event on November 24th when our parents have dinner together and discuss about our futures because I thought, since our family will be there, it will be the right moment. Funnily enough, my aunt, who was basically the mediator between our parents during our get together asked Julian “okay Julian, now that all the parents have talked, you will need to ask Kezia for marriage as well.” she was basically telling him to propose to me right there and then 😂 Thankfully, we were able to tell her that we are actually not going to do the proposal here because we’d like that to be just between the two of us.

Finally, we decided to do the proposal in Bali at the Tegalalang Rice Field because it’s so beautiful out there and Julian’s cousin can easily take professional photos of the proposal. We’ll finally be engaged and we’ll have a pretty picture to remind us of that beautiful day! Sounds like a plan right?

Well,  the day came, there we were at the rice field, it was hot, humid, we were tired, AND he still felt sick from the ‘Bali belly’. We both agreed, welp, this was not the day 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I felt a tad bit sad because, my selfish self still wanted a pretty picture of our proposal. Yeah I know, silly me, right? But then, Julian reminds me that tomorrow, is our 5 years anniversary and it makes so much sense to do our proposal on our anniversary. It’s the perfect day! 😍

So, the next day, on our 5 years anniversary, we took out the ring box, held the ring together and prayed over it. We thanked God for his blessings and protection over us these past 5 years, and we asked Him to watch over us as we are about to embark on our new journey. Then I asked him, and he asked me and we both said Y E S 🙌🏻💑 It was a sweet and intimate moment with just the two of us and we felt God’s presence with us. No professional photographer, no elaborate plan to make it into a perfect moment, no one else was present to witness it, it was just us. And I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect moment than that, even if there was no pretty picture of it whatsoever. But not to worry, it’s always going to be on our minds forever ❤️

A few fun facts:

This was not fun, but trust me, I have a point here. Julian has been battling stomachache from Sunday all the way till our last day in Bali. The night before the proposal, he couldn’t even get a good night sleep because of his massive stomachache, so on the day of our proposal, he was just laying in bed, feeling weak and sickly. I felt horrible that he couldn’t even enjoy his vacation because of it, but as I was taking care of him, I realized that this IS a glimpse of marriage! 🙂 taking care of each other, and being there for each other, I’m all for it! When I saw him just laying there, there’s nothing I’d rather do than being there for him and to take care of him. And I know he feels the same because I’ve experienced all the ways he took care of me; when I’m sick, when I’m sad, when I’m just all over the place 😂 and we all know, I’m all over the place a LOT of times. But through it all, he has been there for me and for that, I am grateful.

The resort that we were staying at has 4 cats that they take care of. One of the cat decided to come to our bungalow and just napped in our terrace since the morning. It’s as if he knows something big is about to happen! Sure enough, after our proposal, he finally left 😌 We jokingly said that that cat was our only witness to our proposal and he is a special cat for us.

In regards to the ring, Julian gave me the complete freedom to design my own ring because he knows I’m going to be the one wearing it forever. Plus, my taste has changed over the course of 5 years that we’re together, so he doesn’t want to get me something that I might not like it later on 😂 In the beginning, I wanted a princess cut in a nature inspired setting in rose gold, then I switched to rose gold oval cut in split shank setting. Then I changed it to rose gold, oval with halo in split shank setting. Then I realized that, I’m not really into so much bling and the halo setting, while gorgeous, doesn’t reflect my minimalist style. i ended up designing this simple ring in yellow gold solitaire with an oval cut. It’s the perfect ring and I literally carried it in my backpack for the entire time we were in Indonesia because he was scared he would lose it if he carries it 🤣

So there you have it. Our uniquely strange but authentically US Proposal story. We’ll always remember it as genuinely one of the best day of our lives, next to the day we got baptized together of course 😊 

And now that we are engaged, it’s time for wedding planning! But knowing us, you already know we might not even pursue the traditional wedding route. Who knows what we might come up with, but whatever it is, we know that as long as God is involved, everything is going to be okay ❤️

Your guide to Morning Weddings

As couples are investing their time to have a customized wedding which should be according to their shared tastes and preferences, moreover wedding these days are held at any time of the day (It is not just a night thingy!). Your wedding is an honest reflection of “you” as a couple, your shared taste and ideologies. So if you don’t want to have that stereotype night wedding, a daytime wedding is a great alternative. Also in the time of pastels colors, those beautiful yellow, peach,  olive green dresses will obviously charm during the daytime(Also the pictures will come out better!). On this blog, we will suggest some tips and advice you can use to make your “D” day more fresh and brighter. Let’s get into it: 1. Go to bed early before the “D” day- If your wedding is around 12pm, back that up with the time spend on makeup, photo shoots,hair-do and maybe transportation(if you are not getting ready at the venue) You gotta start getting ready from 6am. So control your excitement night before to look fresh and beautiful on your special day. 2. The morning should be all flowery- The use of wedding flowers has a history. Flowers beautify and add visual beauty with a touch of romance to the wedding. Flowers determine hope, new beginnings and love and obviously, you cannot have blinky lights in your morning weddings, flowers will be a major part of your wedding decor. 3. Reconsider dance party with a pool party- As during the daytime , your guests will less likely come and glide to the dance floor , having a pool party after your wedding can be an amazing option also with a personal DJ near your pool(It’s gonna be a totally different vibe!)also you can come up with some lawn games or other fun activities. 4. Practice meditation- If you are feeling anxious spare a few minutes to practice mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, this will calm you and will make you feel better. 5. Be Ready with everything a day before- from your wedding dress to accessories you should keep everything ready a day before so that in the morning you are not running to find things. Be systematic and keep everything ready. 6. Apply a night mask to keep your face fresh till the wedding- Apply a nice cold night mask to make your face less patchy, so that you glow in your wedding also by doing this your makeup will spread evenly and will give it a natural look. 7. Eat healthy before leaving for the wedding- As your wedding day is gonna be very tiring and long, have a good healthy breakfast with a glass of fresh juice to keep you well hydrated throughout the day. 8. Calming scents and music- In your dressing room spray some calming scents and play some nice soothing music(Also dress comfortably), this will make you feel relaxed and calm. Also, you can do the same during your wedding time. 9. Serve your guests with hydrated drinks- It can be possible that your guests travel long to attend your day wedding, make sure your wedding planners arrange some hydrated drinks on their arrival, also have lots of fruits and ice creams a part of your lunch or brunch menu. 10. Have some designed spaces to get photoshoots done- Morning weddings are the perfect gram picture destination, have some different photobooth and frames in some spaces of your venue. You can also have a white swing all covered with flowers or a cycle with a basket full of flowers, some dream catchers and pom-pom’s hanging around your wedding venue, all of this will surely charm-up your wedding.

hi there again! it's me, the anon, who sent you the request for the solo wedding shoot thingy and no worries, it's alright! :) what i meant by the solo wedding photos is that there's this trend in south korea where women who are single do a wedding photoshoot by themselves, wearing a white gown and all, and they go to busan to take photoshoots of themselves as if they're getting married and all :) i hope my explanation made any sense or something xD

I FINALLY FINISHED IT !!! I’m sorry it took so long anonie D: But I really hope that you like it.
