Well now that a little over a month has passed I finally have time to give a recap on my FC 2015 experience.

Day -1 While most con trips start day 0 ours had a day -1. At about 7-8:30pm  scruffythefox and  bandit showed up at my apartment with all my Fursuit gear and their suitcases. We then headed to  almusrayne apartment to spend the night and wait for  ravenwelesa plane to arrive.

Day 0 At 12:15am Raven got to the apartment and we all slept. I slept the hardest because Almus's cat "inky" gave me an allergic reaction and I was hopped up on Benadryl the rest of the night. At 6:45am everyone woke up to get ready to leave San Diego. Raven rented a huge SUV that sat 8 people and fit all our luggage. Lucky for us, we only had 6 people in the SUV so more room for stuff. Raven was our driver and  scruffythefox provided us with an excellent set of CDs for the ride up to San Jose. For the most part the ride was pretty uneventful. No fights, lots of jokes and naps. The most annoying thing of the whole drive was that we got detoured due to 4 different overturned semis. Once we got past that though the rest of the trip was fine. We actually got to San Jose a full 2 hours earlier than we planned, which made us quite happy. Once we got checked in we decided our plans for dinner. We were joined by  evilbirdie and his roommates, a furry named  nitroshep and  crazyjoe1952. It was so nice having everyone together for dinner, it turned into one hell of a fun night, till I got hit in the face by the bathroom door in my hotel room (long story) after that we spent the rest of the night nursing my face and trying to get a very drunk fursuiter who was crashing on our floor to go to sleep.

Day 1 Raven and I decided since not much was going on that day that we would go on a date together. So, after picking up our con badges (in record time) we said a few hellos then went out for our date. This was very special for Raven and I as we had yet to have a date where we were truly alone. Raven treated me to dinner at my favorite restaurant, which happens to be Italian food. We ate and talked as if we had been in love for years and it felt very special and totally natural. After that we made our way back to the hotel and spent a little time talking with our roommates about what they did that day.

Day 2 Raven and I attended the breakfast panel for Lex Rudd and had a great time. Lex was super nice and shared a ton of information that you would not hear anywhere else. I also got my picture taken with her. I was totally humbled to meet such a creative mind who also happened to be a woman. Raven and I then walked around the con for a bit then decided to suit. We had not suited together in a long time plus we now had matching japanese school girl uniforms which made us even cuter. Lots of pictures were taken and a lot of people thought we were just too cute. After suiting for a bit we went to get some lunch then walk around a bit more. I got to see a lot of friends whom I had not seen in months. Later that night Raven and I went to an event called "Fancy Friday" but while we waited for that to start I had a star struck moment and met the cast of puppets from "Mongrels" along with the totally talented Andy and Warrick the puppeteers from the show. It turns out they came to the Fancy Friday event and boy did I go fan girl! Andy was super nice to me and let me ask and say all kinds of stuff. I did end up drinking way too much that night, and apparently when I drink with Brits, I turn Brit. So for the rest of the night I had a crazy British accent till I fell asleep half drunk.

Day 3 This day was crazy busy. Raven and I went to the breakfast panel with the Mongrel's puppeteers(super fun). Then we had the Fursuit Parade, then the group photo, and then rehearsals for FC unleashed. We rehearsed a lot that day. We were so ready to rock it at FC Unleashed. After rehearsal we walked around a bit more, got some Iguana's tacos, Psycho Donuts and just enjoyed time as a couple. Later that night we went out to have Chinese food with a few friends and then we went to watch the dance competition which several of my friends were in. In fact 2 of my friends placed in the top 3. After that we went back to the room to play the "Hercules drinking game" and got totally snockered.

Day 4 Raven and I had our eyes on the prize that day. So to start off the day right we played a few games in the Critter Olympics, I acted so silly and had a ton of fun. After that Raven ran to get changed and buy us lunch. We ate our lunch at rehearsals and just relaxed most of the day till show time. At show time I hurried to the backstage area so my friend Red could fix my makeup. I looked awesome when she was done and I was so ready to perform with Raven and our friends  chancethedragon and  kyash-tyur. Finally our time to perform had come. I tried to keep focused on Raven the whole act. There were a few moments I wanted to cry as I sang to him. My heart was just bursting with love for him as I stood there in his arms during the final chorus. Then Raven did the most unexpected thing ever! Instead of saying his final line, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I cried and laughed and laughed and cried and finally said yes. The room roared to life as Raven put the ring on my finger. What was even crazier was the whole AV staff and the Con Chair were all in on it. To this day I am so grateful to everyone who helped. While we didn't win anything in the show, we had already won personally. Realizing that Raven and I were now a life long couple was the greatest prize ever. We spent the rest of the night celebrating with friends and hanging out.

Day 5 With the con ending it was now time to say farewell to another awesome FC. We made our way back to San Diego, and everyone was glad to be home. Raven and I then went to my parents' house and got settled in for what was to be the start of a very, very busy week.

While FC 2015 was amazing; the following Monday started a very busy week for us. We only had one week to organize a wedding for 75 guests. And let me tell you, it was a lot of work! The flowers, the decor, food, venue, everything, was crazy busy. However despite minor hiccups, our wedding was totally perfect. Though we wished more furries would have showed up, most were not willing due to it not being a furry only wedding. We still don't plan on doing any sort of furry only party so if you missed the wedding I'm sorry you did. I must say the furries that were there did an amazing job helping me and were my most welcomed guests.

It has now been a month and a day since I married Raven and I don't regret a moment of it. Thanks again to everyone who helped us have an awesome wedding and we will see you all again at another con!
