This past Tuesday (September 7th, 2021) Ary and I got married!

It's been a bit of a wild ride going from meeting on Tumblr (og post here) and having a LDR, to me moving across the country to be with her, to us now being a happily newly married couple.

We had a simplistic courthouse wedding just for us, but are planning to have a bigger more semi-extended family oriented wedding later (hopefully post-covid/delta but who knows when that will actually be), but still very small and intimate.

In the meantime, I figured I'd update y'all and drop a preview pick from the wedding.

@bumblbytrash @tapdancingbrain

And those priorities are:

Compliment the fuck out of my gf

The titty

So naturally it’s time to get all mushy about my girlfriend who’s the literal and actual best.

Like. Damn.

She got me two of these fucking awesome wooden life counters cause I’m a massive nerd who plays magic. And like. The one has this sick Viking looking helmet and the eyes display the number, and the fucking other one I spent 10 minutes just playing with it because it’s two circles with the number around the edges and there’s a needle that spins to point to the number.

BUT THERES ALSO THESE 5 WOODEN COGS INSIDE IT THAT SPIN WHEN YOU MOVE THE NEEDLE. AND THE COGS HAVE THE MANA SYMBOLS CARVED INTO THEM.

Fuckin ded. Meanwhile there’s still apparently a letter coming for me in the mail, which right before telling me about it she was talking about how difficult it is to draw specific flower. So yea, I’m certain I’m gonna literally perish. #AryArt

Then, ya know, she thought my gift (I packed up a box with a raccoon plushy, some chocolate, faux lilies and sunflowers [our favorite flowers, also they’re faux so they wouldn’t dieafter being in a box for almost a week] and these lil cards, on each one is a romantic/funny poem and then a handwritten note, and there’s one for each day between now and when I get to see her next [march 17th]) was really fucking cute and she was being so dorky about it 😂😂

And naturally cause we’re sappy as fuck, we start sending each other cheesy love songs and then

So yea

Also this excerpt (tho genderbent [cause lesbians do it best]) was sent to me by my awesome and amazing girlfriend in a love letter along with BEAUTIFUL hand drawn/colored flowers for Valentine’s Day and I’m still not over it in any way shape or form

It’s National Girlfriends day 👭🏳️‍🌈

And I think it might just be time to talk about one of y’all’s favorite canon ships: Dancing Bees💃🏻🐝

So y’all know who @tapdancingbrain (Aryle) is. She’s my girlfriend, and we’ve been dating for 4 months ago(but met and started talking nearly a month before that). And in these 5 months, oh lord, so much has happened. How about a highlight reel?

Tho if you’ve been following me these past 5 months and have managed to not figure out who she is, kudos, you may just be one of the most oblivious people on the planet.

Right along with Ary when we first started talking.

*cough*NotToPullReceiptsOrAnything*cough*

I think sometime after the third time telling Ary I did in fact like her like her and was flirting with her, it began to sink in 😋my adorable oblivious tol dork.

But! I really gotta hand it to wishciruit, without her ask about coming out in the workplace, me and Ary never would have even met. This whole wild ride started just cause Ary made a silly joke and I told her she sounded fun. Literally the most random and in passing interaction you could really have with someone.

But I dunno. At least for me, something about her stood out, drew me in. I mean shit, there’s a reason I started aggressively reblogging her reblogs in a LENGTHY chain we made out of us flirting with each other.

And honestly?

Thank god.

Thank god I got to meet this amazing and beautiful young woman with a kickass sense of humor who laughs at my shitty jokes and makes them with me. Thank god i get to have this incredible woman in my corner, and thank god I get to be in hers.

And damn, y’all remember fucking bootsgate right? Hahaha, one night we’re chatting, as we literally did every day nonstop, and it came up that I was cleaning my black leather thigh high boots and the poor girls melts. 😂😂

Also, ya know, all the Death By Ary Art™️, our RWBY AU characters, all of the funny and sweet comics she made, the flowers she drew me, the owl made out of flowers. Y ‘all, I know that shit takes effort and then she’s gonna just drop in the tags “Rachael inspires me” and expect me to survive that? Incorrect. I died, multiple times. Still do die every time I see her art whether it’s for me or something from forever ago.

Y’all, I just gotta say it, I love this girl. She inspires me too, every day. I’ve written more poetry in the past few months than I have my whole life. She’s just sweet enough to give you a toothache, funny enough to leave you in stitches, caring enough to literally join the Care Bears, and god, I could literally say so much about her. But ima just summarize and say she’s really pretty fucking great, and whenever she forgets how great she is I try my best to remind her cause damn. How’d I get so lucky?

My one and singular complaint is just that teleportation hasn’t been invented in these 5 months. But Ary’s trip to NY to see me was amazing. I remember as I was driving to the airport, waiting for her to land, I had the gut wrenching feeling that it was going to be painfully awkward. And then I pulled up to the curb and I saw her over the other cars (cause she’s a fucking tol bean y’all) and I thought “damn, she’s even prettier than I thought” and that bad feeling just flew away.

Of course, ya know. In Ary’s typical fashion, the very first thing she said to me was a shorty joke 😂

But, then I took her home, showed her my place, introduced her to my cats (yea, I know, lesbian stereotypes are real) and then we just chilled. Hung out, went to see an art museum, watched shows together, played our favorite games together, tol a trip out of the country to Montreal together, cooked together, at one point decided maybe we should have a proper dinner + movie date.

And you know what?

It was fucking great.

Literally every single minute, even when we weren’t doing anything but cuddling in silence. Amazing.

We just had a wonderful time and ima come clean here and say it sucked when she left. I cried, quite a bit. She was only here for 10 days but they are some of the best in my life and I miss getting to hold her hand everyday.

But hey, at the end of the day, my babe is The Babe™️ and I’m damn lucky to have her. It’s been a wild and crazy ride, one that isn’t even close to being done and one I never wanna get off. Hahaha and one I’m sure y’all have enjoyed watching 😋
