31 days until my handfasted which has come together in the past 3 weeks all planned and funded by me and my partner. Here is a comprehensive list of all the planning.
Tips:
- Buy second hand! This has saved us so much money, and I have found so many cute unique things that you can't find in a store.
- Do your research!!!! My partner is not spiritual, while they believe there is some higher power they don't practice, we have chosen a specific handfasted ritual for this reason, there is NOT one all tell ritual for binding your souls together.
- Consider your family and friends! My mum is very controlling and his family is not very supportive so we have made sure to keep everything under wraps so we have compete confidence and control over everything.
- SHOP LOCAL!!!!!! WE HAVE GOTTEN SO MANY GOOD DEALS JUST GOING INTO LOCAL STORES, OUR RING WERE 50% OFF AND WERE SAME DAY PURCHASE, AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET MY RITUAL JEWELRY CUSTOMIZED WITH THE STORES WE ARE USING IN THE RITUAL.
Planning:
1.) BUDGET - I can not stress this enough it will determine everything. Our budget is $500 USD and honestly it's perfect.
2.) OUTFIT - Breakdown your theme and desires and put together what you want to wear then trying and see if you already have anything.
3.) INVITES - Make a list and keep to it, we have struggled with this but I am making sure we have enough that stays within budget.
4.) PLAYLIST - We have different tastes and so we have compiled our favourite artists for the ceremony and reception (Peter Gundry/Andrew Huang)
5.) LOCATION - We have chosen a disability friendly location and a public free area so we can cut down on costs.

Jake strolled into the kitchen and saw Raj and Quinn, surrounded by dishes, delicious smells wafting to his nose as he inhaled deeply.
“What are you two up to?” he jumped up on the counter, sticking his fingers into the food much to the dismay of Raj and Quinn.
“Paws off!” She slapped his hand and scowled at him, Raj holding up a wooden spoon threateningly.
“Woah, okay. Sorry!” Jake grinned, holding his hands up in defeat.
“What are you doing here Jake? Shouldn’t you be with Taylor?” Raj asked genuinely curious, it seemed as though those two were joined at the hip since they’d been handfasted.
“That’s actually why I’m here Julio Child!” He jumped off the counter, rubbing his hands together. Raj and Quinn shared a confused look before glancing back to Jake.
“You’re here about Taylor? Are you sure you’re not looking for Diego?” Jake rolled his eyes.
“Yes, I’m sure. I don’t need advice when it comes to my wife, trust me, we’re fine in that department.” Jake winked. Quinn giggled and even Raj let out a chuckle.
“Okay, then why are you here?”
“Can you teach me to do that?” Jake pointed at Raj’s multiple saute pans and pots boiling, colorful veggies with fragrant foods and spices filling them.
“You want me to teach you how to cook?” Jake nodded, the corner of his lips twitching up into a sly smile.
“Yeah, and if Red could teach me how to make a dessert I could use during dessert.” Jake winked, they both knew what he meant, whenever Jake was involved in conversation and Taylor came up, the topic of their sex life usually wasn’t far behind.
“So why do you want to cook for Tay? You don’t strike me as a cooking guy.” Quinn shrugged.
“Our year and a day anniversary is coming up and I want to do something nice for her. I set up a picnic for her on our honeymoon, I thought I could make her a nice dinner.” Jake’s cheeks grew increasingly red as he spoke, his romantic side was usually something he reserved for Tay, he had an image to keep up after all and the way Quinn was looking at him with heart eyes and Raj with the same grin he had on his face when Jake and Tay got handfasted.
“Yes! Oh, what do you want to bake? Cupcakes are always fun because of the frosting, though melted chocolate or caramel can be spread easier, and if it’s just the right temperature it can do wonders.” Raj and Jake both looked at Quinn stunned, they had no idea how… knowledgeable Quinn was about kinks.
“I like dessert.” Quinn shrugged and giggled. Jake cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Right, thanks, Ariel. So, chef, I want something that will excite more than just our taste buds.” Raj pulled out a large sack of oysters.
“Good thing that’s what I planned on cooking right now anyways!” Raj was making paella, which was a perfect Spanish dish of seafood and rice. He showed Jake how to add the spice to the rice to give it some color and flavor, then how to prepare the oysters, leaving them raw with the juice gave the dish a unique flavor that complemented the rice. Jake watched, eager to learn, he had learned to cook some nice dishes in Costa Rica, but he didn’t have those ingredients here. The truth was he loved to cook, but he didn’t have a wide knowledge of how to prepare certain foods, especially not what was available to them on La Huerta.
“Okay for dessert, you should make something with dark chocolate, strawberries, and whipped cream.” Quinn chimed in.
“So, what about chocolate-covered strawberries with whipped cream?” Jake mused. Quinn smiled in approval.
“Yes! A bottle of red wine will also pair perfectly with the dark chocolate, just don’t go overboa-”
“On the wine, yeah I know. I might not know how to cook, but I do know how to please my wife.” Jake chuckled.
“You’re all set then! She’s going to love it!” Quinn squealed.
A few days later, Tay walked into their tiny house and frowned, looking around confused. It was their year and a day anniversary and Taylor wanted nothing more than to spend all day in bed, but Jake had practically kicked her out of the house this morning.
“Go hang out and get pampered with the girls! I’ve got plans for us later. Love you, Princess.” He had said. She was starting to get an idea about what those plans were, but she was surprised.
“Jake? What is this?” their tiny table had a white linen tablecloth covering it, candles lit, and two plates piled with rice and oysters.
“Happy anniversary, Princess. It’s a year and a day, we’re officially joined together forever.”
“Did you do all of this?” She took a bite of the delicious food and closed her eyes moaning, this was par to Raj’s cooking if not better. When she opened her eyes Jake was grinning at her, fidgeting nervously.
“That depends on if you like it or not.” Taylor threw her head back laughing and Jake melted, the sound of her laughter made his heart swell, lighting up the room. Her bright blue eyes focused on his cerulean one as she sauntered over, wrapping her arms around his neck, playing with the edge of his hair.
“I think it’s perfect Jake.” She whispered against his lips, he could taste the oyster on them, as she pressed her body against his, he felt his dick twitch in his pants. They didn’t need aphrodisiacs, they were intoxicating enough to each other.
“There’s also dessert.” He whispered against her ear, sending chills down her spine.
“Mmm. How about we skip to that part. Work up an appetite for food. I’ve had an appetite for my husband all day.” Jake chuckled.
“Sounds good to me Princess, I just have to get one thing ready.” He rushed over to the stove and started melting the chocolate, grabbing the strawberries and taking them both the bedroom, Taylor eagerly following him.

Dean Winchester never wanted to wear a crown. He had no idea that he even could. It wasn't until the Campbell royals all got themselves assassinated by demons that he and Sam found out that King Samuel was actually their grandfather, and well, shit.
But Dean was a soldier before he was anything else. So maybe that's why he'll do anything to stop this awful demon war—anything. Even try to make an alliance with the angels.
They think they're gonna scare him off by telling him he's gotta be magically married—okay, okay, handfasted, but call it what it is—to some snooty noble angel for a whole year? They think Dean's gonna back out because the angels want him to be handfasted not to a proper princess, oh no, but to a prince?
Bring it on.
