WARNING: LOOOOOONG post, lots of backstory and pictures.
This was my first try of throwing a truly elegant wedding for my Sims (NOT for throwing parties)...and I half succeded. I still have one more to plan out, but...I need the dress for it first (I requested it, and if you
look, it's an instant giveaway as to what theme the next one will be.
Backstory:
I created two brothers-Alesander (left) and Carlos (right) Mendoza as teens, killed their parents, waited until they were old enough to be shipped off to college because I have inTeen, and then finally sent them. Carlos is a family Cancer, Alesander is a Fortune Pisces.
Now, I built a college for them and plunked down a pre-built dorm. I have SaraMK's (from MATY) empty templates and a set of default replacement face templates and Louis' default replacement skins. The game gave me this dormie-Joanna Bradford. She's quickly become my favorite sim because she's the first Sim who I actually paid attention to her wants and needs for. I used to pay attention, but it was like-"Ok...I bought you your $2000 stereo...roll up some wants for your girlfriend or something...". Not Joanna. During her years at college, she would roll up wants for Alesander, then food, then college, back to Alesander, and so on. I bought her an MP3 player-it's her new favorite toy and she makes me laugh or smile constantly. She's a Family Aquarius, but she's not like most Family sims I have, who cannot. flipping. leave people alone. EVAR. Always have to run after and hug people and prance around like a peacock after work. Yet they're my favorite aspiration-go figure.
So, she has two bolts for each of the brothers, but I had her go with Alesander, simply because I like him better, he's more fun loving than poor serious Carlos.
They kissed....
Got engaged (a custom townie of mine, Fallon Vanderheiden, stole Alesander's Baked Alaska from right under him; plus they had to get engaged twice, my laptop overheated)...
And are currently waiting for Joanna's dress to be done. (I'm terrible at photoshop, anybody want pictures of the one(s) I tried to do myself? I can show you!)
The wedding I had in the meantime, was Carlos'. He had no such luck finding a pretty dormie, so I sent him to the matchmaker and she pulled out...Tyler Redzewski, a custom townie of mine. Who's very pink.
Worships pink. Annoyed the sin out of me in a failed Apocalypse challenge because she gave birth to identical twin boys the first generation, and is one of the yuppie, gotta-hug-everyone-now Family Sims I described. She's also a Family Cancer. She and Carlos fell hard for each other (two bolts), here they are getting engaged.
So, it should come as a surprise to no one that I threw a pink wedding for these two.
Here's a shot of Tyler trying on her pink, cupcake dress (*giggle*)
Here's a shot of the two of them together before they depart to Spring Gardens, where the wedding was held.
Spring Gardens-think I overdid it with the pink?
Back shot.
The guests file into the garden, waiting for the bride, all of them custom townies except for Alesander and Joanna.
The bride comes down the aisle-
The ceremony starts-
Vows
Kiss
The guests spent the entire party with the flipping toasting set...thank God for that, otherwise the party would've crashed and burned. Here, the DJ toasts the bride.
With 7 seconds to go, they cut the cake...but never feed any to each other, the party ends (Aw, shucks).
The little gazebo where the reception was held has a small upstairs suite for the bride and groom, so they relax in privacy.
*phew* And that's just one wedding.
