“Ahem!”
“.....”
“Ahhurmmm!” A much louder sound broke the two lovers apart, their faces flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and happiness. Today is a special day. Tiffany couldn’t help but smile impishly at Erik Lewis, who is Robert’s best man. The two had become fast friends when Lewis came over to help with the house while it was being constructed.
“I know you two are excited, but let’s wait some more for the guests, hmm?” Lewis teased.
“You can’t blame me, my man. It’s a one in a million chance to meet the one that makes me whole,” Robert said, kissing Tiffany again.
Lewis shook his head and just smiled at the two who can’t seem to take their hands off, or their lips, from each other.
The church slowly filled with people. The place can only be called perfect. Basilica de Sims was a masterpiece by Fischio7, who is a well-known architect in the Sims community. The church was built in the midst of some of the more luxurious houses in Oasis Springs. Away from the hustle and bustle of the average working people, it provided the much appreciated elegance that can easily be gained from such a luxurious place.
Invitations to the wedding itself was very much coveted, not because the townspeople knew Tiffany and Robert, but rather, the chance to be seen in such a prestigious place as the Basilica de Sims is known to be. Due to the scramble for the invitations, the Goth family’s personal invitation from the bride and groom was mysteriously stolen the minute before the actual event.

“If anyone can show just cause why this couple cannot lawfully be joined together in matrimony, let them speak or forever hold their peace.”
Awkward silence filled the room as some people surreptitiously glanced around for any juicy reactions. When no one spoke up, the speaker continued.
“Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony.”
An anonymous pastor officiated the wedding ceremony, and was completely invisible during the whole thing. It was a wonder, but the Sims didn’t seem to mind. Tiffany wondered what sort of magic was pulled.
Then the godparents and the bridesmaids were called to witness the joining of the bride and groom.
“Robert Downey Jr, do you take Tiffany for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”
“I do!” Robert declared confidently.
“Tiffany Oakes, do you take Robert for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”
“I do,” Tiffany couldn’t help the bright smile that came to her face. Her dreams are coming true at last. It is now time to break free from her miserable past and look forward to a new and hopeful future.
“I now pronounce you man and wife!”
And amidst the cheers and congratulations, Robert and Tiffany tied the knot at last.

“Did you see Nina’s face earlier?” Eliza Pancakes asked innocently.
Nancy snorted. “You bet I did! She looked positively green!”
“If I were Tiffany, I’d keep Robert on a short leash while that hot kitty is prowling around!” Eliza smirked. “Oh hey! They’re cutting the cake.”
“We better get a slice before it’s gone. I heard Tiffany is a great cook.”
“Yum, I can’t wait.”
Good music, good food, free for all drinks, and dancing. It’s a great end to a great day.
