It wasn’t a question whether or not Liam and Anwyn would want to get married, and they did so quickly. Anwyn wasn’t as big as a melon when she was married, like she originally thought she would be, and she looked like a sea goddess in her linen dress.

Liam met her up at the wedding arch, magical sparks falling from a point above their heads.

“Gotta say, you look pretty good in clean clothes.” she playfully swooned over Liam.

“Then I plan to make it a habit of doing so.” he said with a smile.

Weddings were a big thing on the Islands. On the mainland, it was more of a formal affair, with religious representatives to preside over the ceremony, but here it was a really big party. People danced, they showed up late, strangers dropped in and joined in on the fun. It was chaos, but a good chaos. A way to let go of perfection.

A custom of the Islands is that the bride and groom wear matching leaf bracelets. When two lives are brought together in love, they form a life that is stronger together. Like the vines, we too will grow strong.

“Anwyn, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known, and everything in my life has led me to you. As terrible as my life has been, when I found you it was all worth it. To see you happy, and healthy, I would lay down my life. Our daughter will never know what it is to not be loved. I was parted from you once, and the sun will freeze over before anything stands between us again.”

He touched Anwyn’s face, and the love she felt for him was so strong it was almost painful.

He pulled out a ring. “Anwyn, I hereby ask you to be my wife. Will you marry me?”

Anwyn held out her hand as Liam slid the ring on. “I once promised you that I’d love you until I stopped breathing and beyond that. Having been to the beyond, I can say for certainty that I loved you then too. When I thought you were dead and I couldn’t be with you, I still loved you. I never stopped, and I never will.”

Liam beamed, and then he kissed her, sealing the deal.

Fireworks burst over their heads, but their thoughts were only one each other, and when they seperated, they looked into each other’s eyes as if they couldn’t believe they finally were married. They had known each other for five and a half years, both of them had grown since those starry eyed days. Anwyn was now 24 years old, and Liam was 29, but they had the rest of their lives to spend together.

Anwyn broke the silence between them. “I once wanted to join the stars up in their glittering beauty, but with you, I feel like they’re all here, in me. My heart if full of-”

“Full of stars.” Liam finished for her.

Of course it isn’t the sims without something ruining your carefully crafted wedding. First, Everyone was late to arrive at the wedding, then half of the people didn’t show up. Romeo! We need you at the wedding!

Then, I haven’t used fireworks for weddings before. I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for, I guess all of my weddings were during the day so they weren’t worth it, and then another one was held inside, so this was the best time to use them! BUT- they started 4 individual fires at different times, breaking up the party over and over!

Liam has taken to being a dad really quick, he grabbed Gloria and took her to safety while Anwyn extinguished her mom from being on fire. Then Dante (Anwyn’s older brother) extinguished another one.
