Voltie — she/her Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/08/16 14:55:54 )

I'm getting married!
We're very excited. We've come so far and grown so much after being together two years. Went through hell and back, came out the happiest and strongest we can be today. He is my greatest support system and the only one who understands me when I speak with my mouth full.

Not doing a ceremony because we really don't like making marriage all about stress and money and family dramas, so we're eloping as we always planned. Now I just feel like drawing all of my ocs in happy cute wedding-ish attire to express myself, but of course carpal tunnel is like hellooooo :]
Despite that I must at least draw his and my main ocs in a formal way, cause I know he'd be doing backflips in excitement over that lol That's what I'll be working on in secret today~!

I think I showed my ring on here before with the band, but here it is again cause I'm still obsessed with the design

depending on the lighting, the stone will look either blue, purple or green. I know nil about stones and gems but somehow we picked out just the right one for me :D And even better that it didn't cost a chunk of my soul to afford.

@neon:
Thank you!!

Yeah I already feel the family drama quietly stirring the moment I got it all scheduled.
Definitely made the best choice XD

I see how much my friends stress about weddings, it just doesn't sound like fun. I'm too introverted for that jazz!

Sitting here and drawing happy pictures is how I, personally, like to celebrate things. My husband celebrates with food, so once we're finished up with the judge, we're going to go have korean bbq at his favorite place

@neon:
I did want to honor my parents to be there, since they have supported us all the way. Unfortunately that wasn't able to happen. But we'll fly to see them when the time is right, probably in a couple months, and have a belated celebration where my mom will grill for us.

Mom's a photographer too, so probably at some point do a photoshoot with wedding-like attire to pretend a wedding happened HAHA
My sis said I could borrow her dress since we really aren't sentimental about having "my own dress" that would collect moths in the closet forever. Other sis knows how to do makeup and hair, so I'm all set XD

@Totalanimefan:
TY!!
Im just frolicking around on my art tablet today :'D
We've already been committed in our minds for a while, but now it'll be super official. Its both relaxing and so exciting to think about.

@Totalanimefan:
Its very pleasant <3
Eventually we'll do some sort of honeymoon, but that probably wont be for a year or two. Maybe it'll end up being more of an anniversary thing so we'd have time to save for something good XD

Yeah! I'm currently working on this picture of our elf ocs

I still cant bring myself to do more than simple lazy oval shapes for chains :'''] they kill

And then I'm like

"well shouldn't I do something more than drawing just headshots?"


carpal nerve stares at me nervously

@Jolly: omg congrats Jolly!!! So happy for you!! 😊 I agree with you on the wedding thing, like, if people have tons of money to throw around and want a big wedding go for it. But don’t go into debt just to have a party lol

Also your ring is GORGEOUS!

@Totalanimefan:
I'm actually a bit obsessed with how this piece came out
I might need to make an actual print of it
:vanora_heart:

It only took me.... all day lmfao
Gosh I cant wait to see him squirm when he sees it. Maybe I wont show him until the print arrives >:]

@Kent:
Thank you!! Its been a lot of work learning how to be proper partners, but I think we got it down XD

@Ruby:
Yeah, exactly! Though even if we were rich, weddings are in a large part for honoring family. The only family I have that are chill all understand that I've never been into old traditions like these. So it just wouldn't be like me to hold a normal looking wedding XD

I don't wanna wear black and white, go to a church, kiss in front of everyone, read old outdated text that someone else wrote centuries ago to tell me how to promise loyalty to my husband. Then pretend I know how to dance, fill everyone's hands with throwaway items like bubble sticks and confetti, and worst of all being the center of attention in a room full of people.

Gosh, weddings sound so not fun to me. I'd rather fly out somewhere we've never seen before and explore the world quietly :]

@MoodyB:
Haha I feel that with crazy family! Thankfully I dont think I'd have that alcohol problem in my family, but I definitely don't think its wise to put them in the same room together anyways XD

Well I originally wasn't going to get a dress, but my mom is insisting and then she found one thats actually pretty dang cute

I told her we'll be getting korean bbq next so I best not wear white, so she started going on about red being a wedding color in one of the asian countries (havent looked up which country it is but I assume China) so thats why she's sending me red lmaoo

@Totalanimefan:
Yes! I'll have to post a picture of it if it comes out good :D
I love canvas prints

@Jolly: yeah we have some who are but still fight the "we aren't alcoholics" allegations.
and i don't drink and refuse to drink.
just because it could make me addicted to it easily.
tho a lot of my family i have cut ties with after my mother's death when none of them bothered to send a card, or pick up the phone lol.
so that mad me quite upset.

Oooo! That is a gorgeous dress!
I love the fashion in asian culture. very beautiful.
you'll look amazing in it!

Korean BBQ after? that sounds amazing!!

@MoodyB:
Haha yeahhh I know people like that in general.
I dont drink alcohol very much either, but more that its too dehydrating. I would hate to be addicted to such a thing, blech!
Although I can't quite stop myself from drinking sodas :vanora_sweat:

Family stinks, so I don't bother with them! Mine exists to guilt trip in any way they can, they think they're a living soap opera and have to have drama with every season. Its too tiring so I just... dont. XD We'll just go do our own thing ty

@Totalanimefan:

My phone camera makes it look a lot more dull and hazy cause I have no photo taking skills
but the colors actually printed out just as crisp as the digital version, just with texture! :D

I printed it rather smol
I measure with my brain sjzfgh but actually I think the size is perfect, I wanna collage pretty art on my wall so it fits really well in this spot for that
