Corin's outfit for a date he had no recollection of ever setting up. ;)

my fave get up any day of the week ^_^

Everyday Sal passes by this boutique on his way home and spotted a couture dress he thought would look fantastic on Lexi. One day he decided to purchase the dress and started creating an outfit for his beloved. He had the jewelry set custom made (like always) to match the outfit, and although he had some trouble finding the right shoes (he's a Chucks kid :P) he finally completed the ensemble in time for their First Wedding Anniversary, which was also Valentines day.
 
And because he also wanted to prove that he can come up with a gift he made with his own two hands he made a Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake from start to finish (Daisy did the supervising, just to make sure its good heh). And as always no gift set is complete without getting Lexi her favorite flowers, pink Gerbera Daisies.
 
@pinkyluff its a couple days early (months in RP time) but i thought i better get this done ahead while i still have time ^_^

Something Vicker's found while doing his Hogwarts research back home....
 
plus i couldnt resist using Anderson's childhood photo lol!

made one for Sal, i should make one for Vickers too ;)

i just realized this, you can pick out Sirius' name in Sal's first name.
 
when i was coming up with Sal's name, "Stradivarius" was an ode to his father who is a classical musician and from whom he was named after. it was only during the RP that he started forming his own personality, being a fanboy of Sirius and incredibly enough, marrying a girl descended from Sirius' family. none of that was planned, just things falling nicely into place.

Tagged by @cassirin. I used the beautiful brickwork photo, the white flower bouquet and the Amour paper art. Everything you see there is on my page 14 with the exception of the shells. :)

'Cause when you find yourself a villain,
In the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions
Are in need of redemption
Would you agree
If so, please show me
