    @mightysprite That's plausible at least. I was surprised I only had one sim decide to go swimming in the middle of those disastrous practice weddings...hilariously, in hindsight, it was Danielle. She wandered off in the middle of one of those tries. I was looking in the crowd for that unmistakable gown she had on and then she came swimming past the pier.

    @luciusstorm The solution came to me during the night. I woke up and it hit me, poses. That will work for some of the role players, the bridesmaids and the officiant. The guests in their seats might be trickier. I tried seated poses way back in the episode where Liberty and Summer confronted Travis and I couldn't make the poses work. I'll try again here at least and if I still can't make them work I'll go with your suggestion for the shots of the guests.

    For whatever reason, probably because I'm on a Mac instead of a PC, but weddings are still horribly bugged in my game and I just can't risk the damage they caused even if I can play the chaos for laughs.

    @DaniRose2143, I'm glad you found a solution. I confess, I was up in the night looking for MWS mod fixes for you but, of course, they've been shut down because "it's fixed." Though some of the comments I read on Carl's patreon site lead me to wonder if the High School patch didn't break MWS again.

    @luciusstorm I never tried a wedding after they were 'fixed', but a lot of the release day bugs were there when I tried it. The return of the fame bug worried me a bit, but what really scared me was the out of nowhere death of a character in the main save. If it wasn't somehow related to the bugs in the backup save, it means that in the split second when the game started it killed off a character and all but erased any trace of her ever having existed. I did forget to exempt Chloe from NS, but that's freaky how quickly it killed her and erased her. It feels like a bug, and that was after I had unleashed other bugs, albeit in another save. At the moment I'm wondering if I broke my entire game when I tried those weddings.

    *That was very sweet of you to try and find a solution to my problem*🤗

    @DaniRose2143 I'm so very sorry to hear this. What, may I ask, is the Fame bug? As you probably know, I've had MWS weddings, several of them with the same bride and groom. I look forward to another wedding once Erik and Kayleigh (who still is not in my game, as yet) find each other and realize they are in it for life.

    I, too, have found my save seems to move forward (kinda like our Sims continue to turn their heads while on PAUSE) once the game is saved and we exit. What is up with that? Eerie. Creepy much. OI. I do hope EA takes these kind of bugs seriously.

    I hope you can find a way forward. This wedding guest is ready to attend the ceremony!

    You know, I have actually watched sims move and even start autonomy actions while the save icon is spinning.

    Unbelievable. I'm now going to have to more closely watch my own Sims! This is absolutely insane. EA, what have you done?

    @GalacticGal The fame bug was the one where every sim, even the ones that were staying out of the spotlight, had a celebrity level. I moused over every guest on the third attempt and everybody was a rising star. The only sim I play regularly in that save that is a celeb is Londyn. I did give Venessa Jeong makeover because she will occasionally appear since she is a co-worker and friendly with Londyn and Danielle. She is set to be the officiant at the wedding even, but they are the only two celebrities.

    @luciusstorm I haven't seen that happen, they always freeze from what I've seen. In that weird thing with Chloe's death, I did what I often do. Pause, then select save and exit, and exit back to the desktop. I'll have to watch that. If I knew that Chloe's death had nothing to do with the wedding bugs, I would go back in and have the entire wedding party assemble and take their seats and grab a few shots of everybody in various places around the venue. Then I could stage the closeups using poses for everything else, or do like I normally do and pause and get shots from different angles without the larger group having to even be there.

    @DaniRose2143, one thing I do semi-regularly is create backup copies for my Save folder in a different directory... like my My Documents folder. That way I have a untouchable backup. You might try copying out you save files that you know are safe, then try the wedding. If everything breaks, you can copy the secure backup back into the main folder and you've got your pics.

    @luciusstorm After that attempt to have a practice wedding in one of the backup saves, there's no way I'm trying that in the main save. After the first failed attempt, the fame bug has returned in that save. I don't know what other damage it did. I hadn't been in the main save since about this time last night. I went in a few minutes ago and the new character Chloe was dead. She was alive when I shut the game down last night, but now she's a ghost in Danielle's relationship panel and every other trace of her is gone from the game. Everybody has a +3 or 4 sad moodlet. The game clock was right where I left it, Monday 2:39am. I was able to go back one save point, about one sim day back, and she's still alive. So now I have to wonder what else happened in the main save. All of this because I tried to do a practice wedding. No thanks, I'll pass on another try before it does serious damage.😲

    I had plans for such a beautiful fairy tale wedding and they are basically over.😭 I'm going to pick up the pieces and find a way forward, this story isn't over, but I'm heartbroken right now. Just have to stop and figure out the best way to make something special out of this mess.

    You could simply have your couple Elope. Basically, you get the wedding vows done nearly the same as a formal wedding. You won't get all the other perks, but at least you can get photos from the Event.

    My game is fully updated, but apparently the MWS wedding bugs are still there in my game. I don't know what to do at this point. Trying to even have a practice wedding in my backup save to sort things out is a total mess. My goal of having the wedding this week is in real jeopardy if I can't figure this out soon.

    Did you delete the localthumbcache.package? This holds bits and pieces of stuff, especially when you install or uninstall mods.

    I would try a game repair, then if need be a game folder reset. Something is amiss, I fear.

    @luciusstorm I have a clean copies of the save, mods, and tray folder saved to my desktop. The save file is about a week old, so I would go backwards about 5-10 sim days if I switched to it. I really don't think I'd lose anything more than...
    Summer moving in with Darian and them officially becoming a couple.🥰
    ...so I could get the shots I want and then swap a copy of the clean folders in. I already have some screenshots of what happened under the spoiler so it would just be redoing that one thing and then just let the story progress from there as if nothing happened.

    @GalacticGal That's like...I'll call it... Plan E!!

    If it comes to that...

    I delete that every time I change or add anything. The game repair is on my to do list no matter what. I'm with you I think all those bugs in that backup save have had a ripple effect through some of the others.

    Best of luck on the game repair! Hope it solves many of your issues. Hang in there. ;)

    Things are looking better. I have some work to do before I can start shooting scenes. I'm still not comfortable having a wedding ceremony in the main save because even the repair game didn't remove the fame bug. And the game doesn't recognize the cc dining tables I placed in the venue as dining tables so I have to redecorate a little. Once I do that and create a fresh backup save I should be ready to start. There are still some commands that don't work, like having the dads walk their daughters down the aisle. And I can't have the guests gather for the first dance because they invade the dance floor and will not leave for anything. Even if I have Danielle and Londyn start dancing before I have people gather, the guests barge in and shove them out. How rude!! If everything goes all right by tomorrow I'll have everything from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding done and the story ready to post. Sorry for the delay guys. I should have tested all this weeks ago instead of at the last minute.😊

    We are off and running. Summer is in her element getting things set up for tonight's rehearsal dinner. She still had time to snap a few pictures.

    Kalua pork and island veggie feast take a while to cook. Summer is rightfully proud of the meal she currently has roasting nicely.

    While the feast is cooking, the brides themselves showed up to have a look around and consult on any changes they'd like to see before the rehearsal and the wedding. The big day is only three days away. Summer paused to snap a picture with two of her three besties..

    @DaniRose2143 MAKE A BACK UP, FIRST.

    I already have. Yesterday was surreal. After the fame bug hitting the backup, it suddenly got into the main save. I tried a couple of old saves, they had it too. I tried a brand new one, same. I pulled the old saves folder out, renamed it and set it aside. I made a duplicate of my clean saves folder put it in and tested and everything was good. So I thought, I'll repeat what I did with the old folder and set it aside and put the bad one back in and do all the preliminaries and the wedding then remove it and put the new clean one back. I did that, restarted the game...and the fame bug was gone in all the saves and, knock on wood it hasn't come back. When I removed the old saves folder, I removed MCCC too. I did that because I updated MCCC on Tuesday. I thought if any mod is guilty just by the timing of everything it had to be that one. We'll see if it comes back or not, for now I'm moving on.

    The bachelorette party starts in 2 sim hours and then the following morning, the wedding. Just writing and editing after that. By tomorrow morning at the latest I will have everything finished and posted.

    Chapter Eighteen


    2 Days To The Wedding

    As the title suggests the big day is nearly here, all that's left is the rehearsal dinner and the bachelorette party. Matteo started cooking the desserts at home the night before. That left only the big feast that needed the volcanic pits and all day to prepare. Summer was the woman for the job and she took to it like the pro she is. The job is mostly hands off which allowed her to visit with her friends, the guests of honor, when they showed up early to check out the preparations.

    As the sun begins to set we get to see the venue as it will be when Danielle and Londyn walk down the aisle, which is magical, gorgeous, and the stuff of dreams.
    9Nv57k4.png

    "It feels so surreal to think, in just 48 hours, we're going to be here, walking down that very aisle" Danielle mused.
    "Our lives are going to change so much, and yet, they're going to change so little too" was Londyn's philosophical reply. "Every day I wake and find that I love you more than I did the day before. All those times I dreamed of this day it looked so much like this. I knew I would walk down the aisle with the girl of my dreams in a setting like this. All of this, but especially you, is a dream come true."
    9xTQ7wj.png

    The guests began to arrive, looking their finest and the dinner and dancing quickly began. Thankfully the tradition is a rehearsal dinner, and not a lunch, so the sun was setting. The guests weren't going to be roasted in their finery, like Summer's pork feast, by the Sulani sun. Ebony and Londyn being the only ones familiar with life on the sandy beaches of Sulani, advised the ladies to leave the stilettos at the hotel and wear wedges if they felt uncomfortable with the idea of flip flops and sneakers at a wedding event. The ladies did heed the advice. There will be plenty of opportunities to break a heel or a leg on the wedding night, because you know tradition dictates and we obey...
    ..but the real reason is I realized, just now, that I forgot to edit their formal outfits to ditch the heels🤦🏻‍♀️ Their poor ankles. Sorry.😫

    Liberty's dad David wasted no time embarrassing his daughter by strutting his stuff on the dance floor.

    Soon, everybody was hitting the dance floor...

    Londyn and Danielle set about giving thanks to the parents for their blessing on this relationship.

    W3nyaQ1.png

    Londyn and Danielle felt the urge to go stand on the spot where soon they would exchange their vows. They soon had company.
    "So Darian, are you thinking what a beautiful spot this would be for you and Summer to have your wedding?"
    "Whoa, pump the brakes on the marriage carriage. I love Summer madly, but she only moved in with me a couple of days ago. Let's give this relationship time to grow" Darian chuckled.
    "I'm a romance novelist, I know all about true love when I see it..."
    "She does!"
    "You may not know it, maybe you do and you're not ready to speak the truth, but you and Summer are perfect together. It's a matter of time"
    CfaxXIl.png

    After the guests went home Londyn and Danielle decided to take a rehearsal stroll down the aisle. Passion soon took over and emotions began to build towards a tipping point.
    C8wIvzM.png
    Londyn locked eyes with Danielle and said, "Let's just do this, let's say our vows now! I don't know if I can hold on any longer. Saturday is almost here but I'm ready to explode if we don't do this now"
    jsgDRF3.png

    "I want to so badly it hurts, but I know you Londyn. Your conscience, and mine, wouldn't give us a moments rest. It feels right now, but some of the magic would be lost. Our friends and family are going to be here believing they're watching us exchange our vows and it would feel dishonest. Knowing that we had already said them, the first and magical time, without them, with them believing they were seeing and feeling that magic...I couldn't. That magic only happens once, and for all their encouragement, support, and unconditional love, they deserve to be a part of that magic...their presence will make it even more magical. Let's get out of here. We have a party tomorrow night. And I have a special something something that I want to give and no fitting place here to give it to you...if you know what I mean...

    The Night Before

    There is a line of poetry: "The best laid plans of mice and men often times go awry". That applies to the best laid plans of women too. Friday dawned rainy in Sulani and went downhill from there. The plans to have the bachelorette party at the Huntley's home in sunny Sulani were in tatters. There simply wasn't room enough indoors for everybody and no way to rent shelters to put up in the yard. The wedding venue was out because even though it had a roof, the roof only covered a small portion of the venue and with thunderstorm winds driving the rain it wouldn't have kept anyone dry. Ebony suggested a couple of alternatives. There were two new nightclubs the ladies could use instead. One was called Beachcombers..
    1APRMwn.png
    The other was called Tropico
    PJV0cGR.png

    The weather may have ruined the daughter's plans for the party, but it was a blessed way out for the moms. They're all middle age and weren't looking forward to paying the price of a night out partying. They're crazy party days were in the rear view mirror, and they secretly wanted to keep it that way. And they didn't want to spoil things for the girls, so thanks were given to the island spirit of weather.

    The girls opted for Beachcombers. They hit the bar right away. Danielle ordered up a round of Zesty Fires...or something like that...the details are hazy...
    sXFIUpG.png
    BOES5aE.png

    Summer quickly added a round of Soft Shadow Avornalino and the ladies proved that two-fisted drinking isn't a males only attribute. All of them got into the spirit.
    kPl8uuR.png
    YakLPiN.png
    oTTEGlW.png
    B9VQdGc.png

    There was dancing with the live DJ. Beachcombers looks big from the outside but it's tiny when you get inside. It really is a good thing the moms stayed home.
    IdhLEHG.png
    yO6Gnmh.png


    If there was any doubt about the depth of the love between Liberty and Matteo it should be gone now. The two of them hatched a plan for him to magically and coincidentally happen to show up at the club at the same time. How do you like that, what a surprise.
    O7mYhDz.png
    j1WZWjy.png

    Speaking of surprises, there was one genuine surprise. Leonardo was there too. Things really have changed between him and the group since Summer broke off their relationship. He never even acknowledged that his former friends were even there, and in a room that tiny even if there is a crowd, you can't claim you didn't see them. You certainly can't when you walked in with them and acted like they were total strangers. I guess when you get yourself a rich, mysterious girlfriend you forget where you came from. I don't see him making his way back into the friend circle now.
    VKmx7jt.png

    Not even Leonardo's classless act could put a damper on the evening. Summer took care of that, well she didn't put a damper on it in a bad way, just a hilarious and scandalous way. Of course if she didn't Londyn and Danielle were about too. More on that in a second...

    The brides-to-be lost interest in everything but each other eventually.
    TL3KpTT.png
    v133MFh.png
    ojIlqiT.png?1

    Now about the end of the festivities. Between the wine and the passion, Londyn and Danielle plotted some fun. They decided what the situation called for was some good clean dirty fun. Yes, they went skinny dipping. Summer spotted them and thought that would be fun and she joined in. Problem was Summer was still in the bar at the back of the club. She then proceeded to strut right through the club naked as the day she was born. THAT put an end to the evening when the manager saw Summer walk right past him.
    What actually happened was I gave Danielle and Londyn the command to skinny dip. I clicked skinny dip together forgetting that Summer and Liberty were still part of the group. While the ladies were making their way into the water I went to see what Summer and Liberty were up to and found the commotion that Summer was causing. I was so busying laughing I only got one picture but I don't think I can post it on here. If I can I'll edit and put it in. It's not the best anyway. It was just her walking out the front door. And the whole incident timed perfectly that as Summer walked through the front door the event ended. I couldn't locate Liberty. In my mind she stripped on the dance floor right in front of Matteo, and well...you can guess...
    *Edit* I decided to add the photo of Summer. It is pixelated and nothing anybody wouldn't see anyway in their game when their sims shower or use the bathroom. HbLZjRK.png
    Literally when the door opened the list of event goals in the upper left disappeared. So in my mind that was them getting kicked out because they got nekkid in the club. Summer really is the free spirit in this group.

    I need to take a break before I do the wedding episode. I've got bad eye strain after that and being up crazy late this morning and my vision is really blurry. This happens a lot when I do these but it clears if I take a break. I'll be back in an hour or so and do the finale.

    @GalacticGal Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. I'm ready.

    Chapter Nineteen

    Wedding Day

    Unlike Friday, when the dawn broke on Saturday morning in Sulani, it was beautifully sunny. Perfect weather for two people who love each other deeply to pledge their devotion, to make a pact for a lifetime. Days like today belong to lovers, and today belongs to Londyn and Danielle Huntley. With her parent's home being within sight of the wedding venue, it was an easy decision for the brides to use it for their preparations. Neither Londyn, nor Danielle, are ones to get hung up on traditions. If they make sense sure, but the old one about not seeing the bride before the wedding seemed especially silly to them.

    They arrived first thing with Danielle's mom and their team of stylists in tow. Siobhan Fyres doesn't just offer wedding dresses. She and her team, and her partner Luna Fyres, offer everything a bride needs. Ebony, Liberty and Siobhan were team Londyn, while Jennifer, Summer and Luna were team Danielle. Summer and Liberty did arrive a tiny bit late, only an hour, which is amazing really after last night. They too where no worse for the wear, they just forgot to set their alarms.

    Lewis made himself as scarce as possible. When confronted with that level of estrogen concentrated in one spot, even a man as secure as Lewis might consider being somewhere else if he doesn't have another guy around for support. He still made time to show his love for his daughter and daughter-in-law.

    It's just past 8 in the morning, Ebony has stepped out to go check on things at the venue following yesterday's storms. The guests will be arriving just after noon, so it was time to start creating the perfect looks for the wedding of a lifetime. We'll leave the ladies to their joyous task and await the grand unveiling.
    fF3H0UK.png
    Speaking of veils, I couldn't find any that I liked so I went the tiara route.
    Ebony did return quickly with good news that the staff at the venue had been prepared and jumped into action before dawn the previous day, in fact they had arrived in the wee hours of Friday morning and worked tirelessly to have everything moved to safety. And once again they did the same this morning and had everything back in place ready to go before the sun even popped over the horizon. They will definitely be getting a huge tip for such efforts!

    Singing, laughter, groans of frustration, mingled with compliments and squeals of joy as Siobhan, Luna, and the moms got the ladies ready. The time had come for them to show the world what lovely brides they are. Londyn was the first to emerge looking radiant..
    pISpLVg.png

    Danielle was next, looking absolutely exquisite...
    ViVwVUh.png

    With the brides as lovely as ever and the clock inching towards 2pm it was time to make their way to the venue. The guests were already beginning to fill the place and the sounds of the ladies playlist wafted over to the Huntley's home. For the last hour of their preparations the teams were serenaded by artists like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Etta James, Sade, and even Louis Armstrong. It was a wonderful mix of old and new, songs to get you dancing, some to make you reach for the Kleenex. Danielle and Londyn both chose to dedicate upbeat songs to each other but their first dance song was one guaranteed to leave not one dry eye within 100 miles. With the guests nearly all there, and with Darian still dripping wet from deciding that the ocean was just too tempting, and concealing a swimsuit under his tux, it's time to begin.
    w64uFNT.png
    Londyn secured the services of her co-worker, and rising star, Venessa Jeong to be the officiant. Most people aren't aware that Venessa can conduct a wedding, including Venessa herself. But as the saying goes "If you don't know, fake it."

    As the familiar strains of 'Here Comes The Bride' ring across the water, and the assembled guests, flower girl Ayanna Bradley takes her place and begins her walk..

    Then the bridesmaids Summer and Liberty, followed by the ring bearer Matteo...

    The ladies decided early on in their planning to walk down the aisle together instead of having their dads do the honors. Now it's their time, all eyes, dry or not, are on them as the make that walk every girl dreams of.

    "Are you ready babe?"
    "I am love," said Danielle, "I don't have any doubts about sharing my world with you until the end of time, but I do have serious doubts whether I'm going to get to the alter without breaking a leg. Tell me again why I decided to wear 4" heels on a wood plank floor?"
    "Because you look crazy sexy in them, rawr"
    "Don't start something we can't finish right here and now."

    The timing could not have been more perfect. They had wanted to walk down the aisle as the sun set into the waters of Sulani. The setting sun makes the perfect metaphor for the ending of their lives as individuals as they now and forever become one.

    The moment is at hand everything is as perfect as it can be. Nothing could go wrong now...

    "Oh God, where's my cue cards? Oh crap, I've gotta wing this." Venessa said feeling panic welling up. "Um, um, um., dearly beloved, we are....line!

    "Oh yeah! Dearly beloved we are gathered here today so that Danielle and Londyn may enter into holy cow. Sorry, sorry, sorry,! Oh God I knew I should have been studying what to say here instead of running lines for my next movie. I'm so sorry everyone."
    "Ok where was I...gathered, beloved, Dani, Londyn, wrong line, holy matrimony! That's it! Matrimony. What's the next part...oh yeah if anybody here has any objections put sock in it! These are my friends and I'm going to marry them! Wait a minute I'm not going to actually marry them, none of us are into that sort thing!"

    Londyn whispers,"Take a deep breathe, Nessa. You're doing fine."
    "She doesn't lack enthusiasm" Danielle said while trying to hold on to her composure.

    "I think this is where you say your vowels."
    "Vows, Venessa, vows" Londyn corrected her so nobody but the three of them could hear. "I've never seen you rattled by anything."
    "Well, that was acting, this is real!"

    Summer in her role as bridesmaid threw Venessa a lifeline and started the songs that they had chosen to dedicate to each other. For Londyn, Danielle chose, "I'm Feeling You" by Michelle Branch. For Danielle, Londyn chose "Love On Top" by Beyonce.

    I'm feeling the way you cross my mind
    And you save me in the knick of time
    I'm riding the highs I'm digging the lows
    Cuz at least I feel alive
    I never faced so many emotional days
    But my life is good I'm feeling you
    I'm feeling you
    https://youtu.be/Ob7vObnFUJc
    Baby it's you.
    You're the one I love.
    You're the one I need.
    You're the only one I see.
    Come on baby it's you.
    You're the one that gives your all.
    You're the one I can always call.
    When I need to make everything stop.
    Finally you put my love on top.

    Now it's time for the vowels. *Dang it Venessa you got me doing it now.* The ladies chose to do one set of vows and to deliver them in unison.
    From the moment I was born
    All roads led me to you
    From this moment on
    No road can lead us apart
    Every road can only bring us together
    Because we walk it together
    Wherever it may lead
    We are one
    One heart
    One soul
    One Love
    One lifetime

    "That was so beautiful I may faint"

    "Venessa before you do, say it!"

    “I now pronounce you legally married partners in heart and mind, in body and soul, in love and in life. You may kiss the bride."

    "It's real, I am now officially Danielle Huntley. From now until the world ends. Nothing will ever change that, and there's no one else I want to make that journey with"
    "I feel the same babe. This is the happiest day of my life!"

    "Time to eat until this dress doesn't fit, which as tight as it is will be like one bite" Danielle said, "You'll have to cut if off me. You can use this knife...."
    "I have a bad feeling this is end badly..."MLNLRWC.png

    With that there was only one big event left before we leave the happy couple to their honeymoon. The first dance together...

    "Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"
    "With you and only with you"

    "All Of Me" John Legend
    https://youtu.be/450p7goxZqg
    'Cause all of me
    Loves all of you
    Love your curves and all your edges
    All your perfect imperfections
    Give your all to me
    I'll give my all to you
    You're my end and my beginnin'
    Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

    With that I'm physically tired and emotionally drained. I hope you love this one as much as I do. It was a labor of love, in every sense of the word. I'm sorry for how long it took to get this done, but what a ride this past week's series of episodes has been. I'm going to go eat lunch and take a break. Later I'll tell you all of the stuff that went on behind the scenes to get these episodes done.🤣

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart dear readers!❤️

    Loved it, @DaniRose2143 This was well worth the wait! I especially loved this line: "Um, um, um., dearly beloved, we are....line!" ROFL
    This was a very sweet mixture of romance, anticipation, humor and a successful wedding! No one would ever know you had issues getting to this point. Job well done!
