The big day has finally arrived. Vanya has offered to drive since Bart is calming that he's nervous. She's nervous too. But not for reasons that one would think.

Oh, she knew what Bart was up to while he was away at school. Vanya is far from stupid, but she's also in love. And she refused to give up on her man, or lose him to some tart at college. So she stuck it out, and stayed with her man.

One winter's day

February, Winter 2009, Trisha Walton and Nathan Novak are both 30




Nathan stood there, the tiny gold band between his fingers, and he couldn't believe he was here. He was nervous, doing his best to fight back the trembling that wanted to thrum through his body.

He had been through a trail and a half, but he and Tosha finally made it to the alter. It was a joyful occasion, but yet sad. He couldn't help but wish his little brother, Newton was here to see him get married.

After that horrible car accident last summer, it was followed up by another car accident involving his brother that fall. Sadly, Newton wasn't so lucky, and he was killed in that tragedy.

But despite the devastating loss to the family the wedding stayed on track, and now they were standing her before family and friends declaring their love for one another.




Tosha wasn't as nervous. She had dreamed about her wedding day since she was a little girl. Though, she'd have to admit, even in her wildest dreams she could never dream up a man like Nathan. And they never would have met if he wasn't dating her dorm mate way back when. She kinda stole him from said room mate, but not on purpose.

She though, what a lucky woman she was as she placed the ring on Nathan's finger.


(Some wedding spam)

(I wonder what Rupert is surfing for on the net? It's a wedding Rupert! Remember that!)

(I forgot the cancel their honeymoon vacation before I went to the community lot for the wedding. So before they got down to the dancing, and cutting of the cake, the vacation shuttled showed up. Next time I know!)

***

Upon arriving at Three Lakes Tosha headed straight for the baby grand piano, and started to play.

Nathan was truly surprised, he had no idea that his new wife could place. What a lovely way to start their lives together.

Mama Novak proposed that she follow them to the honeymoon destination, just to make sure they arrived safely. Having two car accidents in the family, and losing a son has put the woman on edge. So, Nathan humored her and let her come along, only after she agreed that she would leave before the sun started to set.

But as Nanat sat and watched her second oldest make-out with his wife, she couldn't help but wonder when they would give her a grand baby. Would she even be alive to see him or her? She could hope.

Now it was time to turn her attention to her oldest, Nadya. It was high time that she found herself a man to marry. With Vanya graduating this year, and starting her own life with her two children, it was high time that Nadya move on with hers.

Later that evening after dinner Tosha though that it would be a good idea to make the marriage "legal" by consummation. Nathan was all for it. But when she had come from the bathroom after freshening up, he had fallen sound asleep. Though for him, since the next morning her period came.

The remainder of their honeymoon was spend with Tosha humiliating Nathan on the log roll. No matter how many times they tried, she won, and he lost. It was really sad. Nathan used the excuse that he still wasn't 100%, and was still in physical therapy. Tosha only snickered, but agreed with him.

"Aunt Flow" finally left on their final night at Three Lakes, and Tosha and Nathan could finally get down to business.

(Notes: Again, I took tons of pics, but the camera wasn't working. I figured it out finally. Every time my pc reboots I have to push the F lock tab on then off, then my screen capture will work. This is new for me. I've never had a wireless keyboard before. So, you live and learn.

This really peed me off though. For Newton's update I had tons of pics. There was a family reunion type thing, were everyone celebrated his and Bell's engagement. And just family fun, then the sadness of his death. But my print screen and reboot messed everything up. Even Sharla's update was messed up because of it. I have no pictures of hers, so now I have to get really create to explain what happened, lol. And a lot did happen with her. *sigh*

But at least I have pics of Nathan's and Tosha's wedding. I also have a period hack from MTS2, that actually gives females their monthlies. I like it, and I like how it pops up at the wrong times, lol. It tracks the days of the week, and each female is given a different day. Well, I didn't know that while at uni. and on vacation, it still tracks the days. So her period was set for Thursday. Which was the following day after their wedding, and she got her period. So they didn't get to have husband and wife time until after she was done.

One last thing. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've just got involved with playing. So once I get all the pics cropped and stuff, I should have small, but steady stream of updates coming.)

Wedding Time

August, Aummer 2009 Tommy Ottamas and Asia Reed are 23

I put this into a slidshow. Sorry about there only being around 8 pics. I thought I had my picture program running, which I had, but it wasn't working. And something told me to take pics using the ingame camera too. Which I did during the wedding. But I had gotten so caught up with the after party that I forgot to take ingame pics, and only use my image cature camera, and missed all the good stuff. *sigh* I'm sorry guys. Next wedding will be better. But enjoy!

Simone Patrelli-Lewis - Sim Day 36 - 40

I was beginning to think that this day would never come. Me and Ryker have been together for a long time. I met him when I was a senior in high school and he was a college drop out working at my mom's restaurant. Well, we finally moved in together. That was a huge feat, lol. But David made it easy for me. I think I needed him to put his foot down and stand firm, which he did. And I thank him for that.

I know it now, that what I felt for David wasn't real. Oh, don't get me wrong. I do love him, it's just not the way that I love Ryker. Ryker is my soul mate. He is that missing piece that makes me complete. And now the piece will always be here with me. After a long day of moving I fell asleep in my dinner.

And not only did he move in but we finally finalized the wedding plans and it happens in just one day! Can you believe it? At first I thought things were moving way to fast, but now I don't. I mean, I can't keep putting this off forever and it's not as if I'm getting any younger. 27 simyears old, and still not married. So not good, lol.


Ryker decided that he wanted to get one more promotion before we became man and wife and brought a friend home with him from work. I don't even remember that nasty little man's name. Instead of coming into the apartment to use the bathroom he decideds that the bush in the fornt yard would make a good a place than any. Ewww much! I told Ryker and he sent him home. I hope he never EVER comes home with him again. Nasty!


The big day finally came. I was so nervous so Ryker decided to calm me the only way he knew how (which is the best way!) Which made us 15 mintues late to our own wedding, lol. But it was well worth it! Do you think we sould get blinds for the livingroom windows? If someone got to close while walking by they might get an eye full!


We decided to get married at the Community center's wedding area. It was lovely and all my family and friends show up. I think I looked pretty fly in my wedding dress. I know it's not traditional, but neither am I, Never have been, and I'm pretty sure I never will be. Now, on to the wedding pics!

So all in all it was a wonderful ceremony. We didn't go on a honeymood. We've decided to hold off, and save up for a proper one. Right now Ryker and I would like to buy a home, and a honeymoon just doesn't fit into the budget. We want to purchase our home without a mortgage. It might not be the brightest of ideas, but this is our game plan for now, lol.

The next day we invited the family over for a family get together. The blonde is my new best friend, Nita Rich, I invited her too since she lives in the building and she's like family to me.

As you can see my mom is already askign us when are we giving her her first grandchild. Geez, the ink isn't even dry on our wedding papers and she's already asking about kids. And this is coming from the woman who hated me for "stealing" her man all those years ago.

Simone

Joy Scully - Christian Sim Days 31 -35

After the heartbreaking truth of finding my honey in the arms of another, I had rejected him when Edward still wated to get married, but I did move in with him. But I guess motherhood changed my feelings, because after having our son I agreed to it. We had a very, very small ceramony in the living room. Just us, exchanging vowes.


Meet Edward Jr. Isn't he the cutest thin gyou've ever seen? I love him with all my heart. I think he looks just like his daddy!


And I'm enjoying motherhood so much. I have always wanted to be a mother but this is far beyong what I had imagined, and way better. EJ (his nickname) loves when I read to him. He's almost potty trained and is trying to walk. he's just spoken his first word "mama," and I'm so thrilled. I want to add onto this house. I love it and really don't want to move. If we ca add a second floor with two more bed rooms and a bath that would be great. Then I could talk to Edward about a sibling for EJ.

I've also set to work on my second book. This one is a children's. I haven't given it a name yet, but that's ok. I'm only half way through it. I just hope I can finish it before EJ turns into a child. He inspired me to write it.

Eddie gave me a night to myself. He and EJ are having a father/son ngiht in. Reading, eating, and bathtime before bed. So I went down to Cafe Mode. Besides Eddie's resturant, Smokey's Ribes, this is the only other spot to eat. I really hope that someone opens something else up soon. I need veriety.
Anywho, when I was seated I noticed the Ex sitting over at the next table with her sons. I don't feel bad that Eddie left her for me. We were/are in love and they had grown apart. I only try to get along with her for the children's sake. But it was hard as she talked about me the whole time they were there, and stared at me the whole time as well. I just have to be extra nice to Davon and AJ. Show them I not as mean and nasty as she claims that I am.
They are the other reason why I want to expand the house. So they can come over for sleep overs on the weekend.

Trisha Johnson Sim Days 31 - 35

Me and Anya decided to get a few rays the day before my wedding. You'd think getting married would be a walk in the park for someone who owns a clothing shop, but it's not. I even called it off last spring because of nerves. But Clay understood and now, well, I just hope I'll make it tomorrow.


Yay, I made it, lol. I was two hours late. Not because of nerves, it was because of my hair. It took longer than expected, and then I had to get into my dress. My sister, Tosha, helped and even did my nails. See, this is the last time I let my husband pick out is formal wear. But other than that the wedding went off without any problems. My sister attended as well as my room mate/bff Anya, and my other bff, Heather Reed.


We arrived at Twikki Island and went to get something to eat. We were both famished as well as tired. But food won over sleep. I am truly not a pleasent person to be around when hungry, and I wanted my honeymoon to be a memroable in a good way. We toasted to a wonderful wedding and a future full of happiness. Did I mention, Clay just happened to be loaded! Well he is, and this is a huge blessing. I had no idea he had so much money. I never asked. And though my shop is doing very well, I wanted to open a second one ans buy a home. Now, I... er... we will be able to! (Notice the creepy guy watching us? He followed us all over the island)


Clumsy waitress spilled teh salads all over Clay. Needless to say, he was not pleased. I couldn't help but giggle pointing out the bit of greens stuck in his hair. That made him laugh as well. I wish I had my camera at that time, that shoot would ahve been priceless.



We held hands, feed each other, and flirted through dessert. Then we headed up to our room. I don't think I need to say what happened next. It was special, our first time together as man and wife. And for me it seemed even better this time. *shhh* Don't tell Clay I said that, lol.

I guess we had a little too much fun while on honeymoon 'cause a day after getting home I was sick. At first I thought it was something I had eaten, but when I starting to become hungry 100% of the time and tired always I suspected soemthing was up. I called my doctor and came in for a visit. Just what I expected. I'm expecting! It was a bit ahead of schedule but we are happy none the less.

Trisha

David Ottamas Sim Day 31 - 35

I had to do something about Simone. I knew it was wrong with us seeing each other, you know, with her impending marriage to Ryker coming up. But it was jsut so hard. Even if we spotted each other on the street we ended up making out right then and there. So we decided around sim day 21 to go cold turkey with each other.




Enters Emma. Do you remember her, she was my second crush in college. I met her right before me and Simone realized that we were attracted to each other. Well I called her up and invited her out to dinner. At first I wasn't sure that she would accept. And after suffering a ear lashing, she laided into me for not calling her after I graduated, she agreed to meet me for dinner. We went to Simone's mother's restuarant, Cafe Mode, and had a lovely time.


I was so resmitted with Emma that I asked her to move in with me. She said yes! We unpacked her things and started a life together. She even helped me at the car lot the first few days that it opened before she set out on her dance career.



A few days later I asked her to marry me. Emma accepted. She made me the happiest man alive. I was so thrilled. And she provided a lovely distraction from Simone. I fell so madly in love with Emma that when I bumped into Simone at the barber shop I had no urge to make out with her. We said "hello's" gave each other a hug and that was it.


But I guess she was feeling a bit rejected, beacuse she showed up at the car lot the next day. She came onto to me very strongly. But I politely rejected her. Okay, I will admit, we kissed for a moment, but I raigned in my hormones and firmly reminded her why we had to call things off. Plus, I was truly happy, and madly in love with Emma. Simone nodded her agreement, and with one final look walked off of the lot.

So after weeks of planning the big day finally came. And to my surprise, and my family, Emma left me standing there. She was a run away bride! I couldn't believe it. I was so crushed. Why did she do it? I though we were in love.


When I retuned home she was there. I wanted to talk, but Emma didn't want to she didn't see the point. after an hour I finally got her to pen up to me. She said that the pressure was building up and that she just couldn't go through with the wedding. She was still young, and though she loved me, she couldn't see settling down and starting a family. She wanted to see where her dancing career would take her.
I was so heart broken that I packed up my belongings (as little as they were) and moved out. I still love her though. *sigh*
