Absolutely, let’s get married.

(It’s the crush anon, obvi)

excellent. i want this dress

[smashboxgirl26]

i crumble completely when you cry

ph! katsuki bakugou x fem! reader summary: this wasn't the way it was supposed to happen, but sometimes mistakes yield the best results contains: proposal!! (for @/pityslash <33), kinda ooc soft bakugou but im blaming it on him getting a concussion, mentions of injury, lots of fluff hehe word count: 1.8k words masterlist

Katsuki awoke to a darkened room with white, tiled speckled ceiling cut into rectangles and an IV in his arm; you were sleeping in the plastic chair at his bedside, head leaning against the wall and your mouth slightly open. It was probably about two or three in the morning, judging by the dimmed light coming from the hospital hallway.

Fuck.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

He shifted around slightly under the thin sheets, grunting as he tried to move his (apparently broken) right arm to fit in the pocket of his hero costume. A sigh of relief pushed past his lips when he felt the little velvet box still stashed away, thankfully left untouched.

And god– fuck did his head hurt… but this wasn’t how the night was supposed to go.

You were still dressed up — makeup and all, heels sitting next to you on the floor, the pretty black satin dress he watched you show off before you both left for dinner: now bunched up in your lap between your palms as you slept. 

You were definitely going to complain about the crook in your neck when you woke up from the way your head was angled against the wall. You should’ve just gone home and slept properly in bed: but he knew arguing with you would’ve been fruitless — you’d refuse to leave his side like you always did. 

Katsuki let out a small huff as he stared back up at the darkened ceiling.

This was supposed to be your anniversary. He had it all planned out: flowers, dinner, taking a walk through the park near the apartment to get ice cream, proposing in the little ramada he’d gotten Hanta and Eijirou to decorate with fairy lights and flowers. His mother’s old engagement ring was what he’d nervously tucked away into his suit pocket earlier that evening; she’d given it to him the first time you met her — as if she just knew the outcome of your relationship. 

And yet, not even halfway through dinner he’d gotten a call about a villain spiraling out of control. 

He knew his apology was lacking when he pushed himself up from the table, telling you he’d be back as fast as he possibly could; and he could tell how disappointed you were at the fact he was leaving despite how you playfully urged him to hurry before you ate all the dessert without him.

He’d slipped the ring in his costume pocket thinking he would make it back in time for your walk in the park — but that went out the window the second he was caught off guard and blasted through an apartment building.

You shifted slightly, against your spot on the wall. Katsuki almost thought it was because he was thinking too loud.

Your eyes opened after a moment or two, and blinked once or twice at him before realizing his eyes were also open.

“You’re awake?” you asked groggily, scrubbing your eyes before pulling yourself up from the chair. “Let me go get the nurse–”

“S’fine,” he stopped you before you could get out the door, lifting his head off the pillow because he knew you would come over and scold him for it.

Shit he felt dizzy.

“Don’t move right now,” you chastised him — immediately abandoning your mission to rush back to his side and help him lay his head back down on the pillow. “Is that comfortable?”

“Yea,” he sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. “Don’ get the nurse yet… I don’ really want more fuckin’ needles in my arm right now.”

“...fine.” You pressed your lips together, concealing the lecture he knew you wanted to spew: him never being careful when he promised he would be being main point among those you wanted to address — yet you pulled the hard, plastic chair you were sitting in up to the bed and leaned against the mattress.

“...do you feel dizzy?”

“Yeah.”

“You got a concussion from your fall,” you turned your head to look towards the side, and he couldn’t see your expression anymore in the dimmed light from the lamp next to his bedside. “You also broke your arm from landing on it.”

“You saw?”

“It was on the news.”

You sounded on the verge of tears. He needed to apologize. He’d ruined your night.

“M’sorry,” he let his left hand drift over to where yours was laying on the bed next to him, his fingers catching between your own — grabbing you out of your dazed attention — “M’sorry I ruined our night.”

“You didn’t ruin anything Katsuki,” you shook your head, but he could hear the little edge of pain in your voice. “It’s not your fault… I was just worried.”

“I did, though,” he continued. “Tonight was s’posed to be just us walkin’ through the park n’ getting ice cream.”

“You had it all planned out huh?” You finally faced him again, tired eyes and a small, sad smile on your lips. 

“F’course I did, would y’expect anythin’ less from me?” 

“Of course not,” you humored him, bringing his knuckles up to your lips before planting a kiss over a small scab and pressing your cheek against it — staring faraway, somewhere his mind could never find yours.

“Why didn’t you go home?” he rubbed his thumb against yours. “Could’ve changed and been comfortable.”

You let out a small huff — “I couldn’t just leave you here. I didn’t want you to wake up alone.”

“You didn’t have to worry about me, baby. Y’should’ve slept comfortably at home, come and seen me in the morning.”

You didn’t answer; instead, pressed another kiss against his knuckles before letting his hand come back down to the bed.

“If you saw what I did, you wouldn’t be saying that.” — was all you left it at — you tried to get up to get the nurse, but he didn’t let your hand go. “Katsuki–”

“Just let me be a lil’ longer,” he slurred, drowsily. “Come lay down with me.”

“Kats–”

“Please.”

“How could I–”

“Please.” He repeated, and you gave up to the pleading look in his eyes. “Can’t sleep properly without you there.”

He shifted himself over slightly, watching you hold your tongue once again with a little snort, before patting at the spot next to him. You climbed up slowly, carefully, trying to be as light as possible to not let the little hospital bed creak under both your weights — letting yourself melt next to him, your hand resting over his chest. You didn’t say anything, just nestled yourself into his shoulder with a yawn.

Something about the way you were positioned made it feel like you were hesitant to touch him — as he was as fragile as glass. Even with your fingers resting over his abdomen, he barely felt them there.

“What’s got your mind all worked up?” he asked after what felt like hours of silence.

“...nothing.”

“I know when yer overthinkin’ baby.”

You looked up to him, sad eyes and all. “I was really worried.” You sniffed, burrowing yourself back next to him. “I was just sitting in the restaurant finishing my food until I got a notification on my phone about the news — and I clicked it and saw the video of you being blasted through the building. There was so much debris, I almost thought–I don’t know what I thought… It felt like I couldn’t breathe or–or think… I just ran out of there as fast as I could so I could get to the hospital. And then, when you wake up, your first concern is that you ruined the night?” You huff, angrily and under your breath but you didn’t let him see it. “I can’t believe you sometimes…” 

“M’sorry,” he repeated, this time drowsily— despite the disapproving click you let out in response, he wrapped his arm around you: rubbing small circles in your arm to soothe the tension you continued to let off. These situations were the only times you both switched roles; the only time he was the one who had to calm you down when usually it was the opposite.

“Stop saying that.”

“I am though,” he continued anyway. “For making you worry and cry when I should’ve been careful. I got a little reckless tryin’ to get back to you quickly. I just… didn’t wanna leave you stranded there.”

“You didn’t need to do that,” you almost scolded him. “I’m used to it, I understand what your job is like.”

“Told you though, I had it all planned out n’ shit — stupid bastard ruined it all…”

“It’s okay,” you pacified him. “It was just dinner, we can always go out another time.”

“It wasn’t just dinner though…” He stopped himself from continuing, but looking down at your furrowed brow knew that he’d have to give an explanation. 

“We’ve talked about marriage before—” he started again after a moment of silence. A moment to catch his breath, to let his racing thoughts and heart subside slightly. “—about us staying together like this because we couldn’t really ever see ourselves with anyone else.”

You nodded.

“And I thought–I knew that we were both ready… So I was gonna propose.”

You didn’t say anything, and he didn’t dare look down at your face — not when he could feel the heat rushing up to his face like he was about to pass out.

“I uh, had this whole speech planned out n’ everything,” he stared at the ceiling once more. “Even had Ei n’ Hanta set up flowers and candles in the park near that cherry blossom tree we always picnic near.”

You still didn’t say anything.

“M’sorry for just bringing it up now, and spoiling the surprise ‘cause I could’ve just done it later…”

“...are you really apologizing for telling me that you were going to propose?” you spoke after a moment. 

He could hear the slight crack in your voice, and he looked down to see that his suspicions were correct — you were crying.

“Don’ cry,” he tried to wipe them with fail because he could only use one arm. “You know I get sad when you cry.”

“I can’t help it.” 

 “I know that this isn’t where you probably expected to get proposed to, but everything I said is true — I wanna spend the rest of my life with you n’ get those little moments with you. N’ honestly, as long as we have that, I don’t think it matters where this shit happens.” He shifted around slightly, before you could stop him: sitting up to properly face you and pulling a little velvet box out from his pocket. “Marry me?”

“Of course I will,” you tried to wipe away your tears before falling into his embrace — pausing after he let out a hissing sound. “I’m calling the nurse for real now.”

I have been on the PR train since the beginning, but like to keep an open mind and be fair so I read all blogs while rarely commenting. I think it’s ridiculous that TLQ blocked a question about why AB isn’t wearing a ring, but an anon is trying to stir up chaos by saying TLQ called vendors because they did not. The call was made by an anon (not necessarily from TLQ blog as this was reported on several blogs) & the vendor replied no, they weren’t working on the wedding.

I agree TLQ should have withheld the engagement info, but she has NOT been encouraging people to threaten others. (It’s a another crazy blog who has been chasing others away.) People from both real & pr are getting riled up & threatening each other. There is a thing called personal responsibility; people are making there own choice to proceed with disgusting behavior.

Also, DM is the one who said the wedding would be in Sept, not TLQ. TLQ’s mention of Sept was in regard to the rumored AD content drop. There is another blog who had been staunchly PR suddenly changed to real over the weekend based on an industry source telling her a wedding (allegedly) is happening in October. (IMO Rumor October wedding makes less since September given the comic con appearance & PH release; as of now, CE doesn’t have to promote due to the strike, but that wouldn’t have been known at the time alleged wedding date was picked.)

It’s amazing how the reading comprehension of so many have declined as this mess continues. I am all for calling one out when justified, but many are twisting things to fit their narrative & then misreport the info to other blogs.

Thank you for this! It was messages sent in and several other blogs were talking about this before I did.

My problem with TLQ is she states her sources as facts. She’s always putting others down, but loves a good victim mentality sympathy train for herself.

I was blocked because I asked a question that deserved a valid answer. If this wedding is not exactly top secret that DM is talking about it, and “insiders” are sending in tips to blogs then why does she need to hide her ring? Why did she need to crop it out to cause another frenzy? This has been a long time coming.

I don’t care if people dislike me. I’ll stand by my opinion that this whole situation is weird.

Relevant to SH2 and remake, Thankfully there are more people who are rightfully critical toward the upcoming remake as shown in the tweet but as you can also see there are also peoppe who downplayed the original game like that bruh

I'm already not interested in the remake but more people try to give this shit a chance and more i really don't want to play the remake

https://x.com/cringebusted/status/1825551346944336120

"SH2 is way too generous with its ammo," they complain, only to try and fight Eddie using the Great Knife instead of the three hundred shotgun rounds the game gives you

finally, some good fucking food takes in this Chili's. based and mandolin-pilled

I noticed in IGN's preview video that the boss design seems to have been restructured. Instead of you being locked inside a room with Pyramid Head and forced to hug the corners until the siren sounds, you're locked in a much more open room with PH while he chases you around.

That just feels backwards. PH was the centerpiece of the first boss encounter, and that was reflected in the camera angle:

But because Bloober made the galaxy-brained decision to scrap fixed camera angles, they're forced to reinvent the wheel. This new over-the-shoulder mechanic centers James instead. The original's claustrophobic effect becomes lost when you're given more room to move around in. The original forced you into close proximity with a monster you didn't want to be anywhere near.

It's weird, is what I'm saying, especially when coupled with the dissonant ease with which PH swings the Great Knife.

On top of that, the combat mechanics are just... off, in a way that rings false. PH took a swing that James "dodged," but which should have definitely killed him:

We also get particle physics of debris spraying everywhere, because how else will the audience know the Great Knife is powerful?

This blow should have cleaved James in half. Proximity to the Great Knife dealt massive amounts of damage in the original. If it so much as nicked you, it was treated like a heavy blow, if not an instant kill:

As a matter of fact, YouTuber Pongsifu hilariously died after merely getting glanced by the knife:

But I guess coding the Great Knife in such a punitive manner would have been "too clunky" and compromised the combat. It doesn't matter that the Great Knife was so brutal in the first place because it represented James' desire for punishment, and as such became a painful burden to carry. Nah, Pyramid Head moves too slowly; let's have him wield it like a Buster Sword instead, because that makes sense and doesn't compromise our ludonarrative integrity at all.

Everybody knows SH2 ain't shit without ~le good combat~. And if we have to dilute the symbolism of our game mechanics to do it, by God, we'll do it.

Again, I must stress that "fixing" the combat implies a sense of skewed priorities on Bloober's part. The combat was simply a means to an end in the original; you're meant to run away instead of fighting everything you see. Now the remake's design shift practically guarantees that you stay and fight enemies, which runs antithetical to the original's sensibilities.

"Almost every boss in 2 consists of running from one corner of the room to the other" - Because tight quarters evoke a sense of claustrophobia. Do you also complain that you have to push past the Mannequins in the hotel basement without any of your weapons?

Most of the series' bosses take place in enclosed spaces. Sure, not all of them are set in rooms specifically, but they always pen you in in some form or another. Not that "spray and pray" makes for much more engaging boss battles than "wait and strafe," mind.

And why is claustrophobia suddenly considered a bad thing in a horror game? It reduces the tension when they give you room to move. See my point about how they restructured the Pyramid Head encounter.

"Silent Hill 1, 3, and 4 all had much, much better bosses."

AHAHAHAHA... oh wait you're serious.

How to tell me you haven't played Silent Hill 4 without telling me you haven't played Silent Hill 4. There are only two bosses in that game and one of them, no lie, blows chunks. It was seriously so bad that it contributed to my list of reasons for never playing 4 again. You cannot sit there with a straight face and tell me this was better than the Eddie boss fight:

Rufus woke up a few hours later to his PHS ringing, his head throbbing only a little at having been startled awake. He reached for his phone, expecting to feel a warm body next to him, but there was only empty space there. Opening his phone up, he put it to his ear. “Yes.” He answered, sitting up as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. 

“Did you forget we have a meeting, sir?” He heard the distinct voice of Reeve Tuesti coming through his receiver. “We were to meet and discuss my new projects that I'm hoping will be funded by your generous pocket.” 

He looked over at his bedroom door, and could smell the acrid smell of cigarette smoke. That meant that Reno was nearby. Good. Rufus got out of bed, and pulled his underwear on. “Can we meet in thirty?” 

“Thirty is fine, sir.” Reeve ended the call, making it easier on him as he hated awkward goodbyes. 

Walking out of his bedroom, he saw Reno was sitting at his dining table, smoking a cigarette and drinking a cup of coffee. “We’re leaving in twenty.” Rufus commented, then went and poured himself a cup of coffee. “How the hell can you drink this shit?” The coffee was the strongest he’d ever tasted in his life. “How does your heart not stop?” 

“Ye’ll get used to it, Princess.” Reno tapped his cigarette onto a small dessert plate that had become a makeshift ashtray. “Hope ya don’t mind.” 

“It’s a little too late if I did, wouldn’t you agree?” He saw Reno was eyeing him. “What?” 

“Never fancied you were a man that liked to wear colorful shorts.” 

Rufus looked down, and saw that the underwear he’d chosen to put on had been a pair of chocobo boxer briefs. “Am I not allowed to wear things that one might deem as undignified?” 

“Yer the richest man in the world, Ruf’. I don’t think it really matters whatcha want to wear or not. Jes figured ye were a guy that preferred an all black wardrobe. Ye know, considering how ye dress and all.” 

He supposed that the redhead had a point. “Did Tseng go over what has to happen as you watch me?” 

“Ye. Should be no problem, yo.” Reno snuffed out his smoke, and stood up. Rufus drank more of the bitter liquid in his cup, grimacing as he swallowed. It was fucking awful. “Go get ready. We’ll leave in fifteen.” 

“Right.” He set the cup down, then pointed his finger at the Turk. “You finish that. I can’t drink that shit.” 

“Don’t mind if I do.” 

Rufus went back to his bedroom, and went into his ensuite bathroom. Standing under the spray of his shower, he could feel his ass still tingling where Reno had whacked him a few times. He put his hand against the sore spot and moaned softly, his cock perking up with renewed interest as he rubbed his hand over it. He shook it off, knowing that right now wasn’t the right time to get those sorts of feelings. He had a business to maintain, and now that Reno was going to be around him twenty-four seven for the next week, he knew it was going to be a difficult task no matter what life threw at him. 

Fixing his white jacket, he examined himself in his closet mirror, pleased that his cleaners were able to get the blood out. The last time he’d worn this particular jacket, he’d been in a rather nasty fight which had ended in bloodshed. Rufus saw Reno staring at him through their reflections. “Say your peace.” 

“Can’t a man admire the way his lover looks?” Reno was now leaning up against the door jamb, his arms crossed over his chest. And Rufus couldn’t believe how attractive he found him. The lazy attitude. The ‘I don’t give a fuck’ look on his face. Everything about Reno right now was screaming at him, and he hated it. His hormones were in control of him in a way that they’d never been before. He’d never had this problem before engaging with the redhead. 

Rufus pushed his bangs off of his head, but didn’t turn around as he stared at Reno’s reflection. “Is that what I am?” 

“I mean, ya shoulda been a one night stand but yaa fucked up on that front.” Reno approached him, and Rufus couldn’t help but close his eyes as he felt Reno’s presence behind him. His heart startled in his chest as he felt Reno’s hands touch his hips, and then a soft moan passed his lips as Reno’s breath touched his ear. “Ye’re fuckin’ gorgeous and ya know it. Don’tcha, Ruf’?” 

He took a deep breath. “I don’t know what you’re implying, Reno.” He didn’t have time for this. “We have to leave.” 

“No, we don’t.” 

Opening his eyes, he looked into Reno’s green eyes and felt his ears beginning to ring as his heartbeat became more pronounced. “Excuse me?” 

“I said, no we don’t, yo.” Reno’s hands on his hips gave them a firm squeeze, Rufus’ body responding almost immediately to the force being shown. “Do I gotta remind ya who ye are?” 

Another slow breath left his chest as he glared at Reno. “I know who I am, you fool.” 

“Oh, I know ya do, Princess.” The hand on his left hip was moved, and was now palming his growing erection. Rufus moaned, unable to stop himself as he felt the heat rise up to his cheeks as Reno’s breath touched his ear again. “Open yer eyes, Rufus.” 

He did, and saw that Reno’s hand was now unzipping his pants, and was pushing it down until his hand found his cock. Rufus’ eyes stared at their reflection, and moaned low as Reno pulled his cock out into the open. He could see the tip dripping with precum, his body clearly wanting more. “I have a meeting.” 

“Which ye can be late for. Ye were already late once.” Reno’s eyes kept him trapped, Rufus staring into them as he felt his hand start to stroke his cock with just enough pressure to feel good, but not enough to make it feel great. “Ye like being late, don’tcha?” 

Rufus dropped his head, moaning low as he could feel Reno’s cock pushing up against his ass. “I don’t.” He whispered, but deep down, he knew Reno was right. There was a certain thrill knowing that someone was waiting for him, while he was here, doing things that he shouldn’t be doing. 

“One quick fuck, what do ya say, Princess?” Reno asked him, his thumb now pushing against the tip of his cock. “Only, ya gotta do somethin’ for me, yo.” 

“A-Anything.” He would agree to anything the redhead requested. It was how bad he needed him right now. Reno could ask him to jump off the tower, and he would say yes. It would be foolish, and he knew it, but there was something about Reno’s commanding presence that had him wanting to do anything he wanted. 

Reno put his hand on his chin, and tilted it upwards until their eyes met again in the mirror. “Stay like that.” 

Knowing what he wanted, Rufus moaned in anticipation as he felt Reno yank his pants down to expose his ass to him. He saw the redhead go over to his dresser, and watched him roll a condom onto his cock. Rufus stood still, his cock dripping as he waited for the redhead to return. Reno put his arm around his waist, and held him close, the tip of his cock now probing against his ass, looking for that opening that would benefit them both. And as soon as he slid home, Rufus released a moan that made his throat hurt. 

His eyes stayed locked onto Reno’s but he could see him thrusting his hips back and forth, his body moving to the beat as Reno’s hand returned to his cock. Rufus was tempted to look at his own cock, but there was something about the way that Reno was staring at him, it kept him trapped. He moaned, his chest arching up as Reno’s cock pushed deep inside of him. 

“Ya gonna come again, Princess?” Reno asked, his breath hot against his ear. Rufus nodded his head fast, knowing that he was already set to explode. Staring at them in the mirror was doing wonders for his arousal, and all he could think about was how good Reno was making him feel. “Go ahead and come fer me.” 

Rufus broke off their eye contact as he felt the unmistakable heat begin, signaling to his brain that he was close. And after a few more rough thrusts, Rufus was moaning through an orgasm, the tip of his cock erupting with more fluid that shouldn’t have been possible given the amount of sex the two of them had already had, and yet here he was, defying the odds. “R-Reno…” He moaned the redhead’s name, caught in the throes of an intense orgasm, his head going numb from head to toe. 

“That’s right, baby…” Reno murmured into his ear, as his hips began to pound into him roughly. “I gave that to ya.” Reno groaned, Rufus tilting his head back against his shoulder as he felt him buck his hips hard. “Me.” 

“Y-You…” He agreed, nodding his head as everything continued to spin. Reno released a deep grunt, and then Rufus knew that the redhead had found his own release. He sank back against him, panting softly as he struggled to remain on his feet. 

Reno pulled out of him, and as he did, Rufus grunted as he hadn’t been prepared for the connection to be severed so quickly. He watched as Reno pulled the condom off, and then tossed it into the wastebasket with a few tissues, and then saw him approach him with a few more tissues, and began to wipe up his ass. Rufus pulled up his pants, then looked at the redhead, who was adjusting his own Turk issued suit. 

“Why do I feel like this week is going to be a problem for the both of us?” 

“I dunno whatcha mean, yo.” Reno grinned, then tapped his wrist where there wasn’t a watch. “I think we’ve got some time before yer meeting.” 

He looked at his own watch, and saw that yes, they were in the window of when he was supposed to be at Reeve’s office. So he would be five minutes late. No big deal. And after that great fuck, he was glad for the tardiness. “You’re correct. Let’s go.” 

“Whatever ya say, boss.” 

Rufus knocked on Reeve’s door, and walked into his office without a second care in the world. “Now, what did you want to discuss with me, Reeve?” He asked, taking a seat in front of Reeve’s desk, ignoring the mechanical cat he could see leaning up against the wall. “What sorts of projects are you hoping that Shinra will pay for this time?” 

“Where’s Tseng?” Reeve asked, as Reno stayed out front of the opened office door. 

“I wasn’t aware that it was any of your business where my Turks were.” Rufus glared at the scientist, not at all interested in dealing with him. He would much rather be back in his apartment, preferably without any clothes on, and with a certain redhead’s cock shoved deep inside of his ass. He shifted on his chair, as if feeling the thickness inside of him. But sadly, there was nothing there, only the reminder of it being there less than seven minutes ago. It was a heady feeling, knowing that. Rufus took a deep breath, hoping that his face didn’t look as hot as it felt.  

Reeve’s face paled, and he bowed his head. “Sorry, sir. That wasn’t the way I intended it to sound. My sincerest apologies.” 

“Yes, fine. Now, what do you wish to show me?” 

He sat in Reeve’s office for close to two hours before making it to his own office. Reno stood guard outside, leaving him to be in peace. Rufus stood at the window that overlooked Midgar, and wondered how in Gai he’d wound up where he was currently. Or, rather, how he was managing to hold his hormones in check, as Reno stood outside of his office, making sure no one came in to harass him. He wanted the redhead to come in, lock the door, and do terrible things to him. 

We’re together for a week. You can wait. 

Rufus palmed his stiffening cock, willing it to go down. But it had a mind of its own, and it was itching to be touched again. Rufus, however, had work that needed to be done, so he ignored it and dived into the items that had been sitting on his desk since yesterday. He still needed to discuss with Reno about their arrangement, whatever the hell it was. The redhead had used the word ‘lover’ earlier, but was that accurate? Rufus didn’t think so, as he’d sort of entered unwillingly into this unexpected dalliance. He hoped that Reno would listen to him, but he had a feeling it might be difficult as they both seemed to have a thirst for each other that didn’t really seem to be satiated. At all. Rufus shook his head, picked up his pen and began to work - he’d deal with Reno later.

Our NZ elopement wedding experience -

How much does our NZ elopement wedding cost?

We just got married a couple of days ago and it was just fun to look back how the past week has gone. It feels that it went so fast and I just wanted to document everything about our wedding (from preparation to the day itself)

So a quick story regarding our engagement - it was just an ordinary Sunday afternoon last March when my husband just suddently knelt down and gave me the best engagement ring I could ever asked for.

We then started with our planning come the holy week break and when we were talking about the things that need to be done and how much itll cost us -- we were just dumbfounded. We know how it is hard to do a wedding in PH, when we are here in NZ (but need to book everything online) and also I think we wont be ready with the cost -- we opted to just spend the money on more important things... And so from then on it was decided - we are going to have our wedding in NZ - elopement wedding style.

We then started browsing for packages, we even think of doing our wedding in Queenstown and also hire a helicopter but then It won't be saving us money :D so we decided to DIY everything.

Marriage License The first thing that we did was we applied for our marriage license. It was very easy with almost to no requirements needed (if we do just even a simple civil wedding in PH there are lots of requirements needed so we were very surprised when we applied our marriage license here)

We only paid $216 NZD for this (P7,560) as we also ordered copies of marriage certificate. We applied for this April 2024 and so it was really decided - we're going to have our wedding in NZ.

2. Celebrant

Media Shepherd - Stephen Spargo Media Shepherd | Marketing | Giggle | Farming

We decided to have a standard registry ceremony (and not the personalised one - where you have to write your own vows) as we wanted a really simple one. The celebrant fee is $90 NZD (P3,150)

3. Photographer for Wedding

Since we are going to do the wedding in NZ, our parents only request was for us to have good wedding photos. I joined an FB group called Student/Beginner Wedding Photographers NZ and met Jacob @ J.B. Photography there.

J.B. Photography (jbphotography.nz)

At the moment I havent seen all the photos but so far the ones that he sent the day after the wedding was good.

He was very good and fun to be with. We were lucky to book him and have paid only $450 (P15,750) for 3 hours because most of the photographers we saw charges like a grand or more. Hope the other photos that he's still about to send is also good.

4. Wedding Venue & Accommodation

The next thing that we decided to find was the venue. We wanted to have an all-in-one venue where we can have the wedding, stay for the night and enjoy lunch with our friends. We were so lucky to have found this place in airbnb. The owners were very kind to have the place re-decorated (and have new lawn being laid out so that the garden will look nice for our wedding)

We stayed from Sunday afternoon and checked out Tuesday morning and we werent ready to leave the place as it was so nice and perfect!

We paid $514 NZD for this stay (P18,005.40)

5. Wedding Rings

We decided to splurge a little on our rings as we know that this ring will be forever with us and is a symbol of our marriage. We got our rings at Michael Hill Jewellers NZ (the same place he got my engagement ring) and bought the rings we liked. It was also on sale that time (Mother's Day Sale) so we had a discount for it a little bit.

We paid a total of $2,062 (P72,184) for both of our rings.

6. Bride & Groom Wedding Attire

I certainly wouldn't want to spend a lot on a wedding dress and we knew what style we wanted to go for our wedding. We decided to wear something that really suits us and our personality and thankfully it wasnt so hard to find something around here in Taupo.

Groom

He already had his brown Sperry leather shoes & black longsleeves that he bought last 2020 and his black Levis pants that he bought just last year so we just need to find a coat.

Albert Pointon Menswear have some really nice ones and we bought his suit from there. His top suit costs $215 (P7,525)

Home - (albertpointonmenswear.com)

Year 2020 vs 2024

Bride

I had a little hard time finding what to wear (as there werent lot of female that wear white suits) and we even went to Hamilton one weekend for this and werent lucky.

We went to Chartwell Shopping Centre in Hamilton but we didnt find everything we were looking for. Luckily, there's a boutique in Taupo that sells white blazer coat. I bought the blazer thinking that it will match the pants that I bought at Farmers in Hamilton. After 1 day, I checked again and found the matching pants for that blazer and also bought it. Thank you so much to Gigi Belle, the pants and blazer is just perfect!!!

I also bought my shoes at Number One Shoes + Hannahs

Home | Shoes & Footwear NZ | Number One Shoes & Hannahs (numberoneshoesandhannahs.co.nz)

Then my husband ordered a flower bouquet and ribbon veil at Temu. I think it's just $10 (P350)

7. Hair & Makeup

I booked my hair and makeup at Cremebrulee Hair & Beauty so that I can be beautiful on our wedding day. It was really great - I think I looked nice and the hair does suit me. The hair and makeup costs me $301 (P10,535)

Crèmebrûlée Hair & Beauty | Taupo's Finest Hair Salon (cremebrulee.co.nz)

8. Food & Groceries; Other Beauty Care Purchases and Tripod

My husband cooked Filipino meals for our 2 guests + our photographer. He cooked pansit, lumpiang shanghai and chicken (Andoks style) + coffee jelly as dessert. There are also other things we bought at Chemist Warehouse (such as face masks etc) and also bought tripod stand for our wedding.

9. Weekend - Final Touch & Personal Care

On the weekend before our wedding day - I had my haircut at Cremebrulee and browshaping at SMK Bespoke Facials & Grooming Room (gettimely.com)

Paid $73 (P2,555) for the haircut and $25 (P875) for the brows.

10. Our minimoon at Tokaanu Guest Suite

We didnt have time to drive far - as my husband have to work Thursday so we just booked an airbnb for the night after our wedding for us to have a little relaxing time.

We especially enjoyed the geothermal pool and also played pool table all night (I know how he wanted to play billiards) :) This is my wedding gift to him and I paid $275 (P9,646) for this.

Summary:

All in all, below is the cost of our NZ wedding. I personally think we did pretty well with budgeting (it's just that some of these just costs a lot more than what it cost in PH)

If we were to repeat and do it all over again, I think we wouldnt be changing anything. I think our wedding day is perfect and just how we wanted it to be. It would be just nicer if we can have our family here in NZ and be with us then it will be really perfect...

There is a mystery about Diana's engagement ring. When she got it she was going to be the Princess of Wales and the future Queen of England. So it was an historic ring. Is it possible that PH could have 'chosen' it? Wasnt it normal for it to go another future Princess of Wales? Something doesnt ring true about this story. According to me it was part of the Prince and Princess' of Wales historic emblematic jewellery.

Princess Diana had two sons.....I doubt very much it was intended to go to the next Princess of Wales....Prince  and Princess  of Wales...history ended when they divorced......Harry chose the ring...and wanted William to give it to Kate.....it was a family matter....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

His World

Summary: Y/N is dying and she doesn’t tell Shawn. Shawn is planning a proposal for Y/N.

Warnings: A swear word, mentions of death.

Shawn and Y/N had a beautiful relationship. They were so in love with each other even after five years together.

Perhaps the reason why their love was so strong was because Y/N had moved in with Shawn when they were 15. Or maybe it was because they had been high school sweethearts. Whatever the reason, everyone said they had a unique kind of love that could never be broken. Or at least that’s what everyone thought.

Y/N’s parents died in a car accident when she was 15 and Karen and Manny Mendes had taken her in. They had been good friends with Y/N’s parents, but Shawn and Y/N had never met until Y/N moved in with them. Y/N had moved from America to Canada to be with her new family.

Y/N had thought that she would never adjust to her new life, but Shawn proved her wrong. Within her first week of living in Canada, she had never felt more welcomed by someone. Shawn talked to the counselors at his school making sure that Y/N and him had all the same classes so she wouldn’t be alone.

Y/N and Shawn became best friends instantly and they both started to develop crushes on each other. In fact, Shawn’s crush on Y/N was so insanely big, that he ended up writing a song about her.

When ‘Life of the Party’ came out, Shawn happily confessed to Y/N how he felt about her. He was shocked to find out she felt the same! They dated all through high school and somehow managed to navigate Shawn’s fame together at such a young age.

After being together through three albums, two world tours, and lots of other things that caused the two to be separated, Shawn thought it was time to seal the deal.

While they were both young—21 to be exact—Shawn had no doubt in his mind that Y/N was the one. He had known it from the moment he set eyes on her.

And so it came as no surprise when Shawn sat his family down in the living room and pulled out a blue velvet box. He popped the lid open showing his family the engagement ring he had bought a few months back while he was on tour.

“Oh my gosh! Y/N’s going to be my real sister now!” Aaliyah bounced up and down and jumped into Shawn’s arms, giving him a hug.

“Shawn, I’m so happy for you! When are you thinking of proposing?” Karen had a smile plastered on her face as a few tears leaked from her eyes. She had watched Y/N and Shawn be in love with each other for years and she was so excited that they were finally getting engaged.

“Son, I couldn’t be prouder,” Manny said, patting Shawn on the back.

“Thanks guys! Y/N’s final exams are this week and I’m flying out to go support her and help her feel less stressed. I’m planning on proposing next week, after her exams. I’m going to take her to a celebratory dinner, because she’s obviously going to pass her exams and then I’m going to pop the question.” Shawn’s grin was so wide that crinkles formed around his eyes.

***

Y/N hadn’t been feeling good for a few months now. She thought it was just stress from school and that she was passing out from lack of food, having not been eating as much because she was studying too hard.

But when she started vomiting every morning, she decided to take herself into the doctor. As she laid on the bed in the x-ray room, she heard her phone vibrating inside her purse. She couldn’t stand up and get it, so she waited for the x-rays to be done.

When Y/N found at the results of her x-rays, she couldn’t help but fall to her knees and cry. She was only 21, about to pass medical school and become a doctor, and her boyfriend’s tour had just finally ended. How could she have a brain tumor? It wasn’t fair!

Y/N sat in her car after the appointment debating what she was going to tell Shawn. He had been texting and calling her nonstop for the last hour, but she was too nervous to answer, afraid she would tell him everything. She didn’t want to burden Shawn with something else, he was already so stressed.

She finally answered the phone on Shawn’s 20th call. “Hey Shawn. Is everything okay,” she tried to sound groggy and tired so that Shawn would think she was asleep.

“Yeah, are you okay? You haven’t answered my texts or phone calls.”

“Yeah, I was asleep. Been studying all day.”

“Oh. Did I wake you,” Shawn sounded sad and he had a good reason to be. He had told his girlfriend last month that he was coming to visit her during her exam week, and she had agreed to pick him up from the airport.

But she must’ve forgotten because Shawn had come down the escalator that led to his gate expecting to see Y/N waiting for him, but she wasn’t there. Assuming that she was running a little late, or decided not to come in he called her. But she hadn’t picked up and so he was still at the airport waiting for her.

“Yeah, but it’s okay. Is there a problem?”

Shawn ran his hands through his hair. She really had forgotten about him, but he didn’t blame her. She was stressed and busy with all the studying she’d done.

“Umm…can you come get me at the airport?” He shyly asked her the question, trying not to inconvenience her.

“Shit! That was today! I’m so sorry Shawn! I’ll be right there!” She hung up the phone and frantically sped to airport. A side affect of her brain tumor was forgetfulness, but she didn’t think she could forget something this big!

***

A week later Shawn was holding Y/N in his arms as she cried and cried about not passing her exams.

“I’m so stupid Shawn! I…I don’t know how I didn’t pass! This has been my dream for forever!”

Shawn’s heart broke at the sight of her. He kissed her forehead and rubbed his arms up and down her back. Guilt swam in his stomach. He thought she didn’t pass because he had been distracting her from studying this past week. She didn’t blame him, even if he did blame himself.

Shawn still took her out to dinner wanting to make her feel better and still needing to propose. But when he got done on his knee to ask the big question he could see the doubtful look in Y/N’s eyes. “Will you marry me Y/N L/N?”

A few tears spilled from Y/N’s eyes as she shook her head no. “I’m sorry Shawn. I…we can’t be together. I’m just holding you back. You have a whole life to live. This isn’t going to work out.”

Shawn let out a sob grabbing onto Y/N. At is point the whole restaurant was staring at them, but he didn’t care. “What do you mean baby? We’re meant for each other. Stop pushing me away, what’s really going on?”

Y/N knew the only thing that she could do was tell Shawn the one thing he never thought she wouldn’t say. “I don’t love you anymore Shawn. The distance got too much and it’s too difficult.”

Shawn couldn’t breathe after hearing those words leave her mouth. Never had he ever felt as much physical pain as he did then. His grip on her faltered as she took one last look at him before running out of the restaurant.

***

6 months later and Shawn still hadn’t gotten over the breakup. He hardly left his house. He was on anti-depressants and he couldn’t write music.

His family was worried about him, but Shawn told them to be more worried about Y/N. He had tried contacting her after the breakup to see if she was okay, but no response. Aaliyah, Karen and Manny had done the same but no response.

Y/N had gone through two surgeries and a round of chemotherapy in those 6 months after the breakup. She had no one. No family, no Shawn, nothing. She cried herself to sleep almost every night.

Her brain tumor had shrunk significantly or at least that’s what the doctors thought, but when Y/N went into a check up appointment, she was out into the ICU and the doctors were worried she wouldn’t make it.

One nurse, feeling extremely bad for Y/N seeing that no visitors had come to see her, questioned Y/N about who she wanted there with her if she were to die. Y/N only replied with one name. “Shawn Mendes.”

Y/N passed the nurse her phone showing her Shawn’s contact and the e nurse stepped out into the hallway to call him.

Shawn watched Y/N’s name flash across his screen and he felt his heart leap. “Y/N! I thought I would never hear from you again! Are you okay?”

“Hello Mr. Mendes,” a female voice said through the phone. “This is Nurse Nation. Y/N asked me to call you. She’s in the ICU at the Toronto hospital. I don’t know what she’s told you about her condition, but it isn’t looking to good and Y/N requested you be here.”

Shawn’s heart plummeted into his stomach as he raced to grab his keys and rush to the hospital. “What do you mean her condition?! Is she dying?! What’s wrong with her?!”

“I’m afraid I’m not at liberty to say, but I would suggest you come quickly.”

***

Shawn stared down at Y/N’s lifeless body, wiping his mouth of any residual throw up. Open hearing the news of Y/N having a brain tumor, he threw up in the trash can.

He held her hand softly in his and cried tears joy when her eyes fluttered open and they met hers.

“You came! Thank you! Shawn I have so much to explain—“

“Shh. It’s okay, I’m here now. I understand everything. The nurse said you’ve been telling her stories about me. Why you left. We could’ve dealt with this together you know?”

“And gave me die before we got married? I couldn’t have done that to you! I know what it feels like to lose people. It’s hard to recover from.”

“I know baby, but I’m asking you know, please marry me.” Shawn asked the question again. He just wanted her to be his wife in case she died. And he was going to do everything in his power to make sure she didn’t.

Y/N smiled sadly at him. “I would Shawn. If I wasn’t about die.”

Shawn laid his head on Y/N’s stomach and cried as he stared at his dying world.

A/N/ School starts tomorrow!! 😬 Should I do a part 2?
