#LupusAwarenessMonth Morgana Cosplay

Continuing my run-through of all my purple cosplays (it's kind of my color) here are two of my costumes of Morgana & Kennen from 2012 right after my husband and I got engaged! It was totally awesome and we probably have one of the best engagement stories ever. Click the cut for the story along with some gif illustrations.

Do you have a purple cosplay you can share in the comments?

Picture this: Walking around downtown Atlanda, in the sweltering weather, wearing a costume made of upholstery vinyl (so fancy, right? Everyone has to start somewhere). Mike suggests that we leave all our friends and go back to the hotel to take a break, make some drinks and cool off. Meanwhile, I'm bitching the entire walk to the hotel (we didn't stay at one of the main ones) because I am absolutely miserable and I'm just like 

So as soon as we got into the hotel room, I did one of these

completely unaware that Mike bolted for the bags where he stashed the ring, trying to pump himself up to pop the big question. As soon as he turned around I was mostly

...but less sexy and more concerned with being as close to the AC vent as possible. Mind you I still had on my underthings. Mike's response was "Well, I guess this is how we're gonna do this thing!"
He got down on one knee, made the most wonderful speech about spending our lives together that I honestly can barely remember, and I said yes. 

It was the single best way he could have ever proposed to me. I love our story! We then rejoined and celebrated with our friends and family, who were all dressed up and ready to party.
