Dating in Second Life

Second life... The final frontier. Wait wasn't that supposed to be space? Well maybe 30 years ago but in the last 11 or so years a new frontier has popped up. That's called second life. Largely explored, filled with fun, flirting, dancing, finding that perfect person sometimes and even more.

I've been in SL now just over 10 yrs so I've seen a lot and even been through a lot. At first glance you can break the people of second life down into two simple categories.

1)People who play second life as a game and nothing more.
2)People who play with real emotions, are same in second life as in the real world

But if you break it down, peel back a few layers of the giant orange called second life. We find there a lot of sub categories involved. Click read more to see them all

The wedding planning process -Do men really not care?


We men tend to get a bad reputation when it comes to getting married it seems. Lets just face it about 70% of men either sit quiet when our future wife or partner is planning the wedding, or we use those famous words “Anything you like”  or “Its up to you.”

Hate to break it to you, we men care more then most think. We really do most of the time. I've planned weddings in second life as long as with in the real world and seem first hand that Bridezilla can be second to the Groomzilla. Ah yes the mythic Groomzilla, or as I like to call them the man with a back bone.

I for one am guilty of the “Anything you like.” Not because I had no backbone but because my wife's taste and mine were pretty close to even. Now if she would have done something I didn't like, oh she would have heard it. Alas though those words can be uttered because the groom really don't care.

Fall Wedding!!





 The most perfect day comes around when you ‘ve  been around the most perfect guy,  one that you love ever so much. That day is the most amazing wedding you’ve ever been waiting for. Sure weddings are still beautiful any time of year, but I found the fall weddings are my favourite and most beautiful, especially with all the fall colors. At Eternally Yours there is a gorgeous venue for that perfect day that you’ve always been waiting for; “Fall Vintage”. This venue was created by Pietra Khalim (lPietra Landar) of “Your Dreams.” The design of this venue may be simple but its charm has Fall all over it, from the colors, to the sitting area, the breathtaking landscaping, and so much more. This venue, I felt a lot of excitement like I was in my own little world. The little details seemed to never end. Extra bonus – try changing your settings to midnight; the romance will not stop when you dance under the stars. There are many words to describe this venue which is romance in the air. So come to  Eternally Yours and check out the Fall Vintage trust me you will feel the passion that I felt when I first saw it

The First Date



The first date can lead to something that is magical. Many people have certain things they do every time they have a first date, a routine of sorts. Its the adrenaline that runs through your body, giving you butterflies in your stomach, making you feel nervous, that help make this an experience that you will never forget. 

Nerves, “a whitish fiber or bundle of fibers that transmits impulses of sensation to the brain or spinal cord, and impulses from these to the muscles and organs.” Now this definition doesn't quite explain how it feels to have this happen. Your stomach flip flops, your knees get weak, a million thoughts of how the night is going to go running though your mind. These things effect your first impression, or the date in general. Its intimidating, more so than actually going on the date to begin with.  

Feelings are so hard to understand at the exact moment in time. But there are times when you just know this is a person you want to be with and feel things grow with. The touch, the feel , your heart beating a million times a minute. As we take that last look in the mirror to make sure we look perfect, which to yourself you're still not happy with it. (at least for us women) Confidence and determination of hoping this date goes as well as you want it to. So many things are running though our heads that it will make you spin. 

Now some first dates do not go as planned or expected. Its something we all live though. Something we all experience. It can be heartbreaking, it can be wonderful, something unexpected or surprising. But its something we all want to go though. The rush of what could be or might be. First dates are honestly the most terrifying experience we have as human beings. Sometimes we are stunned by it all. Where we went, how it played out, or even how it ended. It can leave us wanting more or wanting less. That is why its so unpredictable. 
A first date is a moment in time that will stick with us forever. Something we base all other dates on. The possibilities are phenomenal, taking us down paths we have been down before, or new ones we have yet to discover. Something we look forward to or want to put behind us. Its a chance we take. 

First dates are the beginning of a new path. Its yours to take, and yours alone. So I wish you the best of luck on your path. And as always hope you find your happily ever after.

Happily Ever After...



Once upon a time there was a boy and girl. They met and fell in love. They wanted to have a truly amazing wedding to share with their family and friends. 


Family and friends alike, waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle. Weddings are an event in which you experience love, laughter and friendship. An event you can attend only knowing the bride or groom. Yet you can hear and share stories about the happy couple with others and it can become a complete experience. Once you attend a wedding your whole perspective on life and love is changed.  So next time you're at a wedding just observe and experience what a wedding truly is.


 As always may you find your happily ever after.

Honey Mooning

So today we are talking about Honey Mooning! I've got some great locations in Real life as well as Second life for you to check out. Lets Start with my top 5 for Real life. With honey mooning we all want something romantic. So lets get started.

Your first order of business in Santorini is to hit the black sand beaches, especially southeastern Perissa or Kamari on the main island of Thira. Next up, check to see if the archaeological delights of Ancient Akrotiri are open to visitors. And if not, head to the island of Thirassia and climb the ancient stairs that lead to the historic city of Manolas.



Maui is not nearly as large as the Big Island, nor is it as small asLanai, as bustling as Oahu or as quiet as Kauai. For many Hawaii vacationers, Maui is just right — offering a taste of just about everything the Aloha State has to offer, from impressive wildlife to intriguing history and culture.



Honey-dipped sunsets, chocolate-sand beaches, aquamarine skies —Kauai has mastered seduction. But the oldest island in the Hawaiian chain doesn't have to resort to over-the-top luxury or tourist traps to entice; instead, it appeals to a no-muss, no-fuss type of traveler. You prefer rural to resplendent? Kauai's your island — there are only two major highways, and some regions can only be explored on foot. 



If there was one word to describe the Greek island of Crete, it would be "diverse." Sandy beaches hide among soaring mountains, palm-tree forests grow in the middle of sprawling plains, bustling modern cities share coastline with ancient ruins. And speaking of cities -- in Crete they reflect the people that came before; the streets are lined with architecture mirroring the styles of the Minoans, the Venetians, the Ottomans as well as contemporary Greeks. 

Venice is enchanting. Yes, that may be cliché to say, but once you see the "City of Water" for yourself, you'll surely agree. Step from the Santa Lucia train station, and you'll find the breathtaking Grand Canal sprawling before you. Water taxis bob along, drifting underneath thePonte degli Scalzi (Bridge of the Barefoot). You might hear the faintest hint of a serenading violin, or is that your imagination?







The Temple - This is situated in the center of my land, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.  You can get to it by crossing over the bridge in front of you and following the path ahead.  There is an automatic dance system around the temple, just click on the colored ball to rez your dances.

The Beach - You can get there either by the teleporter or by walking along the edge of the sim.  Again, there is a dance area and plenty of places to sit and chat. Next to the beach are some drums that you can play or you can swing on the hammock with your loved one.
The Cove - A quiet corner where you can just be with your loved one and watch the beautiful sunsets that you can experience from the unblocked view over the ocean.  In addition, there are a number of poses that you are sure to enjoy.
The Jetty - A boat rezzer is situated at the end of the wooden jetty, just click on the boat and you can sail away out of Lovers Cove and onto the open Linden waters.  There are loads of sims around here to sail across.  You can either sail your own boat or sit in someone else.


The Olive Grove - A more secluded part of the Cove.  You are less likely to be interrupted amongst the trees and enjoy some quality time with your special friend.


The Ballroom - "Midnight @ The Cove" is a breathtakingly beautiful ballroom set in the skies above Lovers Cove.  No expense has been spared to provide the most romantic of places to dance your time away with your friend, lover or date.  You can reach it via any of the teleport stations.
The Orangery - Looking for something a little more intimate?  Then this is for you.  A stylish, romantic place to spend some time, enjoying the sunsets whilst dancing and romancing your loved one.  Again, only accessible via the teleporters.

 "Iluka".  This is an aboriginal word meaning, 'by the ocean'.  A floating dance floor in the lagoon allows you to watch the waves crash against the rocks and the fish swimming beneath you, through the glass dance floor.  Particles of pinks and purples, crimsons and mauve's rise up. The center-piece, a giant fountain, sprays water in every direction.  Elegant poses combined with the wonderful dances make this place a perfect alternative to the Ballroom.

If you guys wanna give this place a visit please Visit Lovers Cove its a great place for all the lovers.
As always, May you have fun getting ready for your happily ever after!

Meet the Staff - Enigma Machine

Enigma - COO


Eni is COO of Eternally your,  fortunate for us a Coo is not a COoKoo! What does Chief Of Operations Do at Eternally Your you ask? Why let me show a small list of what this amazing woman accomplish's in a short time.

  • Charge of keeping things smooth and flowing over all 
  • Ensuring all staff are knowledgeable of their areas and expectations (even if its just follow up and supervise)
  • Staffing for sales, customer service and marketing, interviewing , hiring and training 
  • Planning and staffing of bookings making sure planning staff are adhering to our guidelines and policies, following up so everything runs smoothly 
  • Working along side Honor (Owner) for planning of the business, implementing any changes and communicating with the team
  • Overseeing that things have been done as required. Venue set up cards submitted properly from staff and passed to frog. 
  • Mall overseeing with frog (extra set of eyes) 
Now as you can there this is only a small part of what this lovely woman accomplishes her at EY. She is a savior when things need to be done and in a rush. I had a chance to sit down with her and get to know here a little bit, and this is what she had to tell me.

Eni can you tell us a little about what it is you do for Eternally Yours?
What do I do at Eternally Yours? Hmm may be easier to say I dont DJ and I don't do photography unless its an emergency!  I started off just 'helping out' a friend' (Frog) and things kinda snowballed or progressed (however you wanna look at it) from there!  So I started in sales, learned all the venues and packages and then just moved into planning and officiating.  I assist with training the staff, allocating staff to bookings, assisting out vendors with their stores. I can rip a venue apart and customize the crap out of it. And personalize a venue to such an extent that it almost becomes a new venue. Sim decorating, terraforming, shoulder to cry on, boot to kick ass with! 


If you had to pick your favorite venue what would be it and why?
My favorite venue I think is the Spring Garden Venue. Its large and open and when the sim is decorated around that venue it looks totally amazing. 

What is your favorite memorable wedding?
Most memorable wedding I think was Isa and Ross ... they had arranged an offsite wedding that we were staffing.  There was a major problem with the sim they were using. It was a homestead so there was a restriction on the number of people that could get on the sim at any one time. 15 minutes before the wedding and the guests had the sim full. Neither the staff nor the wedding party could get onto the sim.  There were 2 choices. Cancel or come to Eternally yours ... the wedding started an hour late, but the couple got their perfect day at our sim. Tragedy avoided!! 

What is your favorite thing about weddings?
My favorite thing about weddings? Hmm .. i think it has to be making someones vision/dream a reality. That moment when the couple see their venue for the first time, with all the personalization completed  and sim decorated. Most are astonished at the end result. Its a real feel good factor thing. 

How long have you been in second life?
I have been in secondlife for almost 3 years.

What else do you do in second life?
I also have my own bloodlines clan, and I am the marketing manager for Dance Island.

So there you have ladies and gentlemen, straight from her mouth. I can tell you that just from getting to know her she is one special lady. And Eternally Yours is lucky to have her. You can meet her and other amazing staff members at the Eternally Yours Sim. So if your planning your happily ever after, look no further!


One more thing i found out, she love to wear her sunglasses at night. 

Till Next time, May you have fun getting ready for your happily ever after!
