Planned Wedding was awesome!

I saved up my $1000 for it and it asked how many Sims to invite. I invited I think 15 of them and had it at the retro type bar that is all on the second floor. The game ran so smooth even with all those Sims and now I wished I had invited more. The place was packed! It really felt like a wedding reception and a rocking one at that. Minor problem is that unless I missed something, they really need to tell you to bring food and a wedding cake with you to the wedding. I had a caterer but for the life of me, I didn't see any food there at all other than the chips served at the bar. Including the wedding cake which was all I needed to get a Gold wedding. Even with that the wedding was just so cool looking and a lot of fun. I bet a big party will be too. Haven't done that yet.

Which in turn, was awful lol. Hired a caterer, a musician, and a mixologist. Yet there was no food, no drinks, and no music. We just sat at the park doing nothing but talking.
Guess you have to go buy all this stuff and set it up before you start the event or something. Which is odd, seeing as you hired these guys, they should provide this stuff. Otherwise, what am I paying them for? :|
But still got married in the end, and got a silver medal still. Just wish it was the hired help actually brought their stuff....
The party still turned out well, but next time I will be more prepared and do it at my house or in the park where I have established a real wedding section off in the corner under some nice trees.
The new vow interactions were endearing and I like how the ceremony lasts a bit longer. The sims are adorable gushing all over each other at the altar. I also enjoyed how you could gush about your partner to other sims before and after the wedding. It's just a sweet little event all the way around. I enjoyed the changes and how the betrothed could interact with one another... though I will NEVER utilize that leave sim at the altar option. So cruel.
Was I missing something about not having any food at my wedding or am I right and I needed to bring it myself?
Yeah, if you have the wedding at a bar, the drinks are not a problem. happy accident that on my part. Or if you have it at your house and there is a bar there.
I think they played. LOL. I was too busy running around because it was so crowded. No, they did play as I saw a violin sitting on the ground and I do remember music when i first got there before it got hectic.
The guest walked around and mingled all over the place. Then when you clicked on your spouse they all went in a sort of half circle around them and watched.
I botched mine with very poor planning (IE: I didn't plan at all hahaha. Hey you pay $1,000 so I thought it would just set up a wedding spot for me or some miraculous occurrence that totally didn't happen rofl).
Anyway, when I began the vows, the sims left the catering area and filed out to the wedding arch. Some sat, others stood and looked appropriately emotional. No one started bawling that I saw, but people were STILL coming to the wedding arch when it finished. I was an idiot and put the catering and wedding arch on totally opposite sides of the venue. The catering area was on the second floor of the museum, which made it even worse.
Next time I will put the catering and bar area closer to the wedding arch.. which is honestly common sense, but I had no idea what I was doing and was rushing around like a tard. lol I'm going to try a more ideal setup again later today and see what the results are.
You need to bring it yourself OR hire a caterer. If you hire a caterer, though, the venue needs to have a kitchen for him/her to cook in. If you hold the wedding on your home lot, this is obviously not an issue.
The ceremony was cute except when they started, everybody walked through the wedding arch instead of from the other side -_-. I hired a caterer, mixologist, and a musician. The musician played the piano all night and it was lovely. The caterer didn't cook but I finally figured out why. The museum doors disappeared when I changed the foundation height. So we had no cake but everybody drank and ate chips lol.
Today I'm going to convert the museum into a wedding venue so I won't have those problems anymore lol.
That is a really good idea!
You can actually tell a sim to leave another sim at the altar? So cruel! But it might make for some fun fake weddings with Mr Lothario. Lol.
I really need to get into making little fun videos so I can re-do the "Meet my sim Don" video TS4 style.

What a GREAT idea!
Please upload that lot when you're done! I'd love to see it!
