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.

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

That's not a change, though. Lilac doesn't show up until the second week of the Feast.

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? 
Other interpretations:
1. Marriage still fits the theme of the holiday, even if there's no mechanical changes
2. They didn't think to change the image since last year

New spouses? New dates? New marriage-specific options? Regardless, color me excited!

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.

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed when I married the Intriguer before leaving for Port Carnelian, expecting to do fun things there or back in London, and the only new option was to divorce her.

Real life made me take a break from the game for the past couple of months, but the rumours of new NPC marriage made me hurry back. Here's hoping I'll finally be able to make things official with the Pirate Poet.

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.

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:
* Invite your spouse to an indulgent evening out
* Invite your spouse out for a decorous evening
* Invite your spouse to join you in sampling Prisoner's Honey (this is fate-locked)
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.

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 feel that, as someone who has 50 renown with Devils, that I shouldn't have to sneak into their ball. Seems like an oversight to me.

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.

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!).

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?

I did not know that. Thanks. Clearly I need to consider divorcing the Attache.
For some very strange reason, other spouses have date cards. The spy-related fate-locked two (including the attache) do not for some very weird reason.
