Back to Monogamy

I guess I'm just in a festive mood, lately, what with the video, and now a wedding!

I decided to do away with the rather unusual arrangement Val had with seven husbands, and let her have just one man like simerica law requires. Early on, despite being married to Justin, Val showed a strong attraction to fellow Pleasure-Seeker Scott Broke-Bayfield. I took away all marriage flags, got Scott and Val engaged, and threw them a wedding. I'm reaaaaaaaaally glad it's over. It's hard playing a lot with that many sims on it!

The bride:










The groom:









The church is Emma's, from Illusions of Grandeur. I redecorated it, because I wanted a Christmassy wedding.

Pre-guests. Herb Oldie officiates.

The exchange of rings:







Kiss the bride









RECEPTION:

Josh, father of the groom, toasts first.







I love this pic!



Clink clink, kiss the bride, yada yada



Shep, brother of the groom, toasts second. Scott holds the invisible champagne flute.



And a hush falls over the crowd as they try to figure out who will do the next toast:



A little squeeze from the hubby.

Bon Voyage I: Ruining the Majestic Ruins of ... Something

My sims have been on a whirlwind of sightseeing and touring all over the place since Bon Voyage came out. Four trips, back-to-back-to-back-to-back!

As posted on my forum, here are the pics of the highlights, so far:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiwikki Island, Day 6

Trying to cram everything in on the last couple days of vacation is EXHAUSTING. Joe took the kids on a fun-filled trip to the Majestic Ruins of Suchety Such.

Marking their territory:




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These photos speak for themselves.














---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On to the Fruit Something or Suchety Such Lot! Someplace with really good fruit salad!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boys are THRILLED!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fruit salad here had better be reeeeeeeeeeally good...
Heavily-fermented, preferably.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brandon entertains the locals with his peeing-in-the-road shtick.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gets 'em every time.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joshua realizes he's been suckered into a trip to the grocery store, in the name of "sight-seeing"



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All right, time to go. Ty is getting cranky. *rolls eyes



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's good to get back to the Brickstone Chateau for some much needed R&R from all the R'ing & R'ing.

Bon Voyage III: Buck Up, Little Campers!

OH NOEZ!!!! As if it wasn't already bad enough for the poor little guy, Brandon became my first sim to be struck by lightning!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He went inside to get out of the elements, and lounge on the couch. One of those motives needs to come up, at least. We'll work on fun, hygiene, and hunger next. Probably in that order, too, if he has his way. :P



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn came out of his tent, peed his pants, then went inside to join his charbroiled brother.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rough night, huh?"



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's one for the photo album



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ty's still aspirationally challenged, so to get his mind off trashcan-kicking, I put him to work digging for treasure.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The four boys went on a quest for the map as soon as the sun came up. Ty discovers he has a talent for the slap dance.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No time for dancing, Ty! There are tours to take and treasures to dig for!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Four tours and twenty bones later, Joshua makes his first big find. His brothers found rocks.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the cabin, he finds the map for Three Lakes. Time to take another excursion with the bros!

*DRAMATIC GASP



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn disregards all alarms going off in his head, and bravely steps toward the wild Beast-Man.





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

His brothers worry about his fate over toasted marshmallows. "Is he doomed? Is he crazy? Will he be our next ghost story? Can you pass the mallow, fellow?"



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, well if Shawn didn't get eaten, I think it's safe to assume we won't, either."




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bigfoot has an unfair advantage when it comes to kickybag.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And as this chapter of the vacation saga comes to a close, the Bayfields arrive safely back home. Val will get out of the van as soon as Shep is done peeing.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, she's out.

...aaaaaaaand so is Shep. Like a light.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Next, on to Timiwikity Suchety-such village!
