About Weddingsalon

Weddingsalon is a personal website dedicated to preserving my Animal Crossing saves (^_−)−☆ I've been an Animal Crossing fan since I was a child, I began playing after a neighbor gave me his copy of Wild World. I've played on and off for years with my playtime increasing after the release of New Horizons; I have a lot of saves and wanted somewhere to store/archive them.

I joined The Belltree Forums in July 2022 to document the progress of ufo, my NH island. I came up with the name Weddingsalon after the Wedding Season event from the 1.2.0 April Free Update. It was partially inspired by my return to Wild World in 2017-18, my conceptual City Folk save, and Wikipedia articles on wedding rituals and marriage traditions. It was a concept I invented to put my creative desires into, which in turn brought them to life.

What does Weddingsalon mean? A 'salon' is a place; a house to certain things. Be it for nails and the rituals taken to maintain, care for, clean and decorate them, or hair for the same reasons, it is a container for beauty. On my old WW save I loved the bridal veil. It was an accessory I wore constantly. With the release of Wedding Season this forgotten practice came back to me, and again I sought to own the bridal veil. The decision to rejuvenate my island and my aspirations towards/ acquisition of the Wedding Season items to help do so merged and became a jumping off point. Weddingsalon was then a ritualistic place, term, and idea for celebrating, actualizing, inventing, and upholding this new adventure of finding what was sweet, fun, playful, cute, happy [etc] and creating it ♥
