This satyr cosplay engagement brings serious magic to our Renaissance-loving hearts

Janee and Bill love all things Renaissance, and in unique fashion, Bill proposed to Janee at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. They also love cosplay and Janee creates all of their costuming herself, including these amazing satyr costumes for this year’s Ren fest. On the opening weekend of the festival, Bill proposed with a gorgeous leaf silhouette ring.
