The Carmody-Lachance wedding

Round 22: Winter 2015
Jesse Carmody is 30, Abigail Lachance is 32

It's the morning of Jesse and Abigail's wedding and as she looks out the window over Jesse's shoulder, Abigail is starting to regret their choice of a winter wedding.

On their arrival at Central Park, they're both regretting it! It's almost spring time now! How can it be so damn cold?

But everything is booked now and the show must go on, so they put on their brave faces and think warm thoughts!

And so five whole years after they first got together, in rather controversial circumstances, Jesse and Abigail are finally getting married.

Pascal is so proud of his daughter that he's giving her and Jesse a standing ovation before they've even sealed it with a kiss.

There we go...now is the time for standing ovations and applause!

Presenting Mr & Mrs Carmody!

No one would pick Jesse as a romantic but he is!

He's feeling pretty affectionate in general today and tries to hug his new brother-in-law, Jonas. Jonas wants to wait to see if Jesse treats his sister right post-wedding before they get too friendly.

The most important guest of all, at least to Abigail, is her son Nick.

Nick has come with his dad Caleb, who is (slightly inappropriately) smooching his live-in girlfriend Cara. Nick smiles awkwardly and watches for his mother's reaction.

Abigail seems, thankfully, completely unfazed and is just happy to have Caleb there.

While Abigail was mingling, Jesse has been getting to know his father-in-law a little better and they find out they have the same taste in music.

For a minute, Nick thinks he might have to intervene between his grandpa and stepfather when Pascal scowls after Jesse laughs at his air guitar skills.

Looks like Jesse is pretty good at smoothing things over on his own!

Now it's time for every glutton's favourite part of a wedding - the wedding cake!

Of course a jokester like Jesse isn't going to bother with unnecessary things like cutlery though! A handful of cake is good enough!

Luckily, Abigail agrees!

Fortunately, Jesse thinks better of using his hands at the table and uses the cake forks like everyone else.

Caleb and Abigail might have to work on Nick's table manners. He's hunched over his food, as if he's protecting it from predators. And isn't that gelatin? Guess Nick is not a fan of fruit cake.

Wedding pictures which, as usual, I've framed and put up in the house. I'm not thrilled with the large version of these but they do look good in the frames.


Notes:

• Phew! And that ends Winter 2015! I completely forgot to do this wedding! It was scheduled to happen right before I played the Gottliebs but I got all excited about Joanna's round the world trip and then I got all caught up with Leo and doing the Morettis' anniversary party. So I squeezed in a very quick play session tonight for the wedding.
• I am having an issue with community lot weddings or parties and I am not happy about it. The guests all start to leave as if they're just regular community lot visitors, which is why Cordy and Eliot's wedding reception was so blah. The only way I could keep all these people on the lot was by making them selectable. :\ I'll keep doing that if I have to but it's a bit of a pain. I haven't added any new hacks, so I'm assuming this has something to do with Celebrations? I don't know.
• Right after Jesse and Abigail got married, Jesse rolled the want for a baby. Abigail and Jesse both want one now, so I'll take her off birth control when I play their house and they can have at it. I am really excited to see how their genes mix!
