#save the dates

The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2023!

520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is a bit like Valentine's Day. To celebrate, we’re back with the fifth annual 520 Day Reverse Exchange. As the name says, this is a reverse exchange: instead of making your request and that request being assigned to a writer/artist/fanwork creator, here:

You sign up with the kinds of things you enjoy creating.

You choose three writers/artists/fanwork creators based on anonymised ads.

You make a request of each of them based on what they enjoy creating.

You are assigned one request to create for, based on your offer.

You receive a gift from one of the creators you chose.

(An updated rules/info post will go up before sign-ups open, but here is last year's for reference.)

This year's schedule

Sign-ups part 1 - offers: Saturday 18 March - Friday 24 March

Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 25 March - Friday 31 March

Matching: Saturday 01 April - Tuesday 04 April

Deadline: Saturday 13 May

My sisters wedding ‘save the date’

I just finished em’!

Every year, on the day he died, Ragnor will revert to the state he was before he died. No mechanical arm, no Pitch Black eyewhites, no giant scar across his torso. You’ll actually be able to see how he used to be before his murder.

It’s also the reason on why he says to be one of the very few, if not the only one, with two birthdays instead of one.

Going to get my nails done tonight for our engagement photos on Sunday. I’m doing some type of white acrylic...not bright white but maybe funny bunny by OPI or something similar with a little shimmer! 

Guys I am so nervous the weather is going to be bad...yesterday it said it was going to snow and now its saying rain - we wanted snow not a grey nasty day so I’m very nervous but I know our photographer Lauren will still get beautiful shots. We are taking photos outside in Boston around the Beacon Hill area and Public Gardens.

We are doing one dressy and one casual look. Reed is so cute, he wanted to go get some outfit options for his dressy look. We took advantage around xmas time of the sales at the Sears closing near us and stocked up on nice button downs for him and jeans. He got a cute Ralph Lauren sweater too.

I’m not sure what he’s wearing for his casual look but I want it to be genuine to him even if it means him wearing his black Slayer jacket lol. For my casual look I plan to do blue jeans with my winter boots and a pom pom hat then a sweater. Not sure if I want to wear my white sweater or another one (burgundy/light blue/green). I guess I’ll have to try some things on this Saturday lol. And my dressy look is a flowy royal blue dress with a slit and shows some cleavage so I think it’ll be perfect in the city. 

So first of all we are officially a little bit less than 11 months away from the wedding! I can’t believe it! I’m going to be A MRS 😳

Anyway things are going really slow… I found out that one of my bridesmaids is pregnant! I’m super excited! She will have a baby before the wedding so we don’t have to worry about any morning sickness on the day of 😉 Found out that my sister is also planning to try again and if she makes good on her timeline she’ll be seven months pregnant at the wedding… not as excited about that is I could be 🙃 I know I can’t ask her to plan her life around me, but I’m just asking for like..a few months so we can drink together and enjoy ourselves, that’s all!

I guess an update is that we talked to our DJ and we are planning to book him this week. Our venue only gave us two options to use, because the DJ set up is super weird on site. The choice wasn’t too hard, we chose the option that was a hundred dollars less. They both offer the same things, and I trust our venues choices.

We designed our wedding website and by we I mean I 😊 We used Minted because they gave us a free premium URL which is a pain in the ass to get a code for, but we did it! If you need a code let me know! Look..it’s a work in progress but check it out so far!

We also got our save the dates which are in photograph below, including Ollie taste testing🐱We’re going to send them out eight months early because apparently 10 months is too far and six months feels too soon for me
