[color=#cc0099]Delicious friends, next week the Feast of the Exceptional Rose will commence!
Fortify your heart ahead of Fallen London’s festival of love, which will begin Monday the 5th of February and last for two weeks.
More specifics to follow when the festival begins.[/color]
Loveeely, new NPCs to marry with! Can’t wait!
I see no suggestion of such…
I like how a valid reason to get a divorce is because they eat people. Also I hope we get more marriage options, we need them
Last year, this kind of announcement made sense because marriage was disabled due to app problems.
So I take this year’s log as an announcement for new spouses. What else would be the point, correct? :D
It seems, though, that one of the changes is that the Feast will be split into two week-long parts, similar to the Election and to recent Hallowmas.
New spouses? New dates? New marriage-specific options? Regardless, color me excited!
That’s not a change, though. Lilac doesn’t show up until the second week of the Feast.

Then I might have misremembered it.
Well, how fitting I just came back to FL with a sparkling new persona. As a relative newbie, I’ll probably have to read up on a lot still, including this event.
I have only really had social interactions with someone who is my patron now, who funnily enough noticed me recording a section of New Newgate Prison when I started, otherwise it’s pretty limited. Hit me up though, I’d really appreciate writing to a few people here and there. ;)

What interested me was the mention that, we will be able to “take [our] spouse on dates, available throughout the year!” I would relish the opportunity to take my in-game spouse (the Cultured Attache) on dates from time to time. Probably not at a restaurant, though.
I seem to remember, it MAY have been a thing, possibly, in some degree of probability, that the normally extortional prices for marriage and divorce are reduced somewhat during the Feast. Possibly.
…it’s also very possible I’m fooling myself and others by thinking this.

No, I seem to recall that it was a thing last year, during the Feast. What I’d like to see is for it to be possible for a married couple to "date" even when it isn’t the Feast. Maybe to grind Romantic Notions?
Well, that is possible if you are married to another player. I’m assuming they simply re-used last year’s announcement. Player marriages have become available again during the last Feast, including the option to go on one of 9 different dates at the cost of one Free Evening.

I’m aware of player marriages. My alt, who went NORTH, was married to a player, and I’m helping to fund another player marriage via rats. :-)
That being said, it would be great to have the option to date all year around, player or no, though I’d be okay with having year-round dating confined to player marriages (I could always divorce the Attache!).
You can date all year round as long as you are seen with the person. As a poly player with a poly Character, it is nice.

The "Seen With" storylets only apply to Acquaintances you are "seen with" as you say. You can’t use it on a character you are actually married to. :-(
According to the wiki there are dates specifically for your spouse.
That was what I was referring to in my previous post. If you are married to another player you have the following options all year:
For each of these options your spouse can decide what they want to do specifically. E.g. for the indulgent evening you can go to the Parlour of Virtue, to the Carnival, or you can stay at home. If you go to the honey-dens, you have the choice between two romantic things to do in Parabola and let a honey-mazed poet tell you about erotic adventures in realm of dreams.
