Emerald Valley # 4: Spring's Wedding

 Overall, Spring's wedding went quite well, but she was definitely showing signs of worry or regret. I think she was getting cold feet, afraid this union would derail her dream of becoming a witch, but she was determined to be happy.

She and Gustavo arrived early to make sure everything was set up and ready. Then they went to partake of some "liquid courage." My experience is that when sims autonomously order drinks, they usually choose a "regular drink" but in this case Gustavo ordered a Skill Builder drink (good for him) and Spring ordered a "Sorrow Annihilator" - a sign to me that she wasn't sure she wanted to go through with the wedding. 

If Gustavo looks different, its because I gave him a different hairstyle and added a beard. I didn't find the shaved head look that flattering on him.

It seems Gustavo wasn't all that thrilled with the quality of the drink? I hadn't noticed that before. 

Spring may be worrying about Gustavo's motives. His dream is to have "golden tongue, golden fingers," achieving fame by busking (playing for tips.) The thing is, he has no guitar and no skills in playing the guitar. Maybe he sees Spring as a meal ticket, someone to get a job to pay the bills so he can pursue his dreams.

There were a few hiccups in the ceremony: the chairs were placed too close together, so most sims couldn't access them, and Joey was still grieving about his wife Tamara, who was taken by Grim's pit monster Emie at the bachelorette party the night before.

And some guests seemed more interested in their own conversations than the ceremony.

But the wedding did go on.

Freddie Lam, the current pianist, made an appearance, looking sharp.

After cutting the cake, the bride developed a serious case of body odor. Awkward!

At least the couple ate their cake together.

The gossip girls ate together with the bartender.

While Gustavo took to the dance floor, poor Spring had had enough and decided to go home an take a long bath.

I think the Sorrow Annihilator has worn off. 

While Gustavo seems like a slacker who brings nothing to the party, his traits include Ambitious, so maybe he will make something of himself after all. His other traits are Good Sense of Humor, Party Animal, Excitable, and Clumsy.

Spring bought Gustavo a nice futuristic guitar and amp, and he started building skills in the laundry room while she slept back at the apartment. Before she went to bed, she asked the magic 8 ball if she should have children. The magic 8 ball said "no." She seemed a little disappointed at first, but then relieved. Maybe she won't have to give up her dream after all.
