Mypalsim
So, it's come time for Mike and Darrin's wedding. For some reason, I thought I could plan the event one day and have it on another, but that must be a sims 3 thing. So after I have Mike set it up (hoping for it to be on Friday), it happens immediately (Monday). I'm SO NOT READY.
But I decide to go for it anyway.
They're having it at Sulani. Just make like Alex paid for everyone's tickets, etc. Heck, at this rate, most of the family members could pay their own way.
Awwwwwwwww! I went back and forth on what they were going to wear: swimsuits or suits. I figured everyone else was going to show up in formal wear; I'd have them wear their formal wear. Eh, they can change into swim trunks later.
You may have noticed in the last pic that Alaric was playing the guitar. He was playing his guitar. That's Alex playing the guitar I set out for the entertainer.
It's kinda hard to see, but next to Charlotte's head is Emily out in the water swimming. Guess she didn't care to stay in her formal stuff any longer. That's not really like her character, and it's one of the first things to have happen that make me think this will be utterly impossible to write as more of the storyline.
Isabella doesn't speak to Charlotte, turning her back on her.
Oh, and I must mention how hard that sand must be for them not to be sinking into the sand while wearing heels. Suspension of disbelief, huh? :)
Here's my "money shot"! My hopes rise that I might be able to salvage this after all. (Emily is hidden behind Darrin.) Sure, there's no one in the seats yet, but the ceremony ain't over yet.
Whoops, there's Emily peeking out from behind Darrin's booty. 'Oh well, I could easily Photoshop her out,' I think.
Yep. I could still Photoshop her out... along with that VERY ANNOYING jet ski.
Here's a reverse of the previous shot. L to R: Alaric, dutifully sitting in a seat. Then Mike and Darrin. Brielle and the Brielle clone sit on the other bench, watching the entertainer... who is facing the wrong way (of course!). Behind Brielle is Alex. Then there's Charlotte. Ethan is standing in front of Chloe. (I wished I'd have had Jarvis and Tommy there too, but they didn't show up as possibilities for the guest list. I'm pretty sure they knew Mike, etc. Oh well.) Next to Ethan is... Ivy! Yep. I brought Ivy.
Would Brielle and the Brielle clone please pay attention to the ceremony and stop checking out the entertainer's ass for one second?
"Yep, Photoshopping the ring," I say out loud to myself as this pic is taken. Obviously, I didn't.
I love Mike's eyes now. For my Tumblr peoples, this is when the eyes I'd posted about finally come into play. I also changed Darrin's, Ivy's, and Brent's (still matching Mike), but theirs were less of a big deal.
Emily in her swimwear... Brielle and clone still staring.... At least Ivy's expression is spot on.
Zoom shot.
I mean really, Ivy? What is your deal? I honestly don't remember. I guess because it's one of the few things that don't bother me about this pic.
Hooray for magic confetti!
Seriously, I was literally squealing because I was so happy for these guys. They have been waiting actual real life years for this, so even though several things irritated me, I was still very happy. Besides, the whole affair wasn't really falling apart...
Yet.
Swimsuit time! And look! Bozo the clown showed up. Yep, he was gonna have a date with Photoshop as well.
While all this was taking place, the caterer had already made a cake... which random folks came up and started eating.
So I have Ivy with her fantabulous level 2 cooking skill dash over to make another cake. And I have to HURRIEDLY put the topper on it before sims come over and want to destroy it.
Alex looks like he's wishing there was a bar. I suppose I could've done that, but there isn't a lot of room.
Poor Brent's wore slap out. He did not fare well this entire time, and I eventually had to cheat his mood up.
Quick, cut the damn cake before everyone runs off with it.
Several things are happening in this scene. It's a public lot, and Mike is a celebrity, which means sims randomly come up and freak out. (dude between them)
Ethan stands uncomfortably close with his silly Ethan grin on his face (which looks way too much like Jett's (Brielle's dad)). Bozo the clown must be the tragic clown because he's totally bummed the entire time.
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGN!
Remember back in Sims 1 when you'd throw a party? If the tragic clown showed up, it meant you are the biggest loser on the planet. The tragic clown has arrived, folks.
Alex stares at Isabella, probably thinking how very very weird it would have been had Emily gotten those genes instead of her. Nobody would've believed the whole 'Emily is not a replacement Brielle' thing.
I think Isabella is staring at Charlotte some more. Maybe she's still peeved about the whole Jarvis thing. (B*tch stole my man.) Also, the whole Isabella arc is a VERY RECENT add-on, so at the time, I was kinda bummed that I didn't continue with her story (fixed it!).
Fan boy passes out.
And here we have Alex trying to be the 'cool' uncle. Darrin doesn't look like he's buying it but that he's humoring him. Guess in many situations, Alex can't help that deep down, he's still a nerd. But he's my nerd. <3
And now, I would like to apologize for the bad lighting since I'm not doing any Photoshopping at all in this chapter. Kinda like 1st gen.
Oh, neat. One of the random wedding crashers is entertaining us with a fire dance.
Mike: This was a great wedding.
Darrin (thinking): And the honeymoon will be even better.
Now I'm hearing in my head my screenwriting professor doing his spiel about how you can't really write thoughts in a script, especially like I just did. Oh pffft. I'm a novelist first.
Alaric: How big is Brent?
Brent (sing-song voice): Sooooooo big!
*Dies from cuteness overload*
Uhhhh.... Very unexpected wedding crasher. What the heck is VALENTINO doing here? (between Mike and Darrin) Speaking of don't-spread-me-too-thin storylines, he's another that got shelved. And he does NOT look happy about it. (Still nothing on him.)
"Well, damn. All I need now is for Drake himself to show up," I say aloud.
Speak of the devil... (behind the redhead fan girl) And I have no idea why he's sporting his old look. It must be the 'Revenge' chapter was shot on my laptop, and the save I transferred to the big puter didn't have his more recent look.
(Pssst! Here's a secret! I haven't actually shot the Drake-watches-TV shots yet at this point. Don't tell anybody, k?)
Well, at least the reactions are accurate. I'm making more like Mike is wanting to push him into the fire rather than grabbing his ass (it's the angle). That's more fitting.
Yeah... this wedding was toast.
Darrin: The honeymoon will be better!

Mike: Hey, Darrin... Where were your parents?
(Oops.)
