The Dreamweaver Immortal Dynasty (Completed)

[Esther1981]

Cool! I think a banana party will be awesome lol.  Is Chiquita gonna be there?? Hehe

[Pam]

It'll be a great banana party if I can get my game to behave.  I'm having trouble getting saves and it's crashing to desktop a lot.  I think I need to adjust my graphics settings. 

The Banana Wedding Extravaganza is set up and it looks fantastic!  Even better than Periwinkle's wedding. 

[Anushka]

Pam, I got used to window mode instead of fullscreen even if it was very hard at the beginning. After that it never crashed, even with highest settings. Plus without any problem I can check something on-line, and I can always see the clock and since otherwise I often got lost in time

Good luck and can wait to see wedding party in banana theme. And please, serve banana split to the guests
 

[Pam]

First, let me show you the set up.  Here is the roped off ceremony area.



This is the reception area.  Notice the nectar tables.





And here is the dance floor and stereo.



I got a lovely picture of the three Immortals as they were waiting for guests to arrive.  Left to right:  Nectarine (2nd generation), Carina (Founder), and Periwinkle (3rd generation).



The wedding started at 1:00 p.m.  Banana was beautiful in the wedding dress and veil her mother handed down.  Banana made it a soft banana color and added some jewelry to make it her own. 



The vows were touching.







Husband and wife.  Kiss the bride.



She knows she married the right one.



Never mind all the chairs.  The guests would rather stand in the flower bushes to watch the ceremony.



Look how much she looks like Nectarine in this picture.




Oliver immediately brought out his guitar to entertain the guests.  That's Chiquita in the long green skirt.  And apparently one of the guests raided Banana's wardrobe.



Mario served the buffet table while Banana poured nectar.





At least the family enjoyed the food and drink.





It was sunset before the dancing started.  Mario had to ruin the effect by desperately needing to go potty.



Looks like I didn't make the dance floor big enough.



Father and daughter danced at her wedding.



Look alike cousin Ida smiled for the camera while dancing.



And surprise!  It turns out that it was also Mario's Adult birthday.



Chartreuse refused to wear her formal attire.  She's a Pop Icon, after all, and an insane one at that.  She has a statement to make.  She stayed up all night after the guests left to finish off the nectar.  It was 5:00 a.m. before she made it to bed.



Just as Chartreuse went to sleep, I found Mario already awake for the day.  Oh my.  This is going to be interesting.



Happy Wedding Day, Banana and Mario!

Awww how sweet! Chiquita doesn't look very bananay lol. I know what you mean about the crashing!!   I wonder if putting mine on window mode would help? Anyways beautiful ceremony, as usual!  

EDIT: Nope it didn't!

[JeffGuy]

Wow Pam!
I love your venue design for the wedding. I think I'm going to take some tips from you, as I can never get it quite right.
You should open a guide on how to design a good wedding, lol.

Throws birdseed, (rice hurts birds so it's a no no now).  Applauds vigorously.  Sneaks off to decorate get away to honeymoon vehicle, giggling madly.

Here's a video of Mario and Banana in China.  Mario's rather animated when he watches television.

Banana and Mario Tried for Baby right after they got married and I heard the chimes, so they were successful.  They quickly took a honeymoon to Shang Simla before she started showing.  I brought along a couple of Banana's nectar makers so she could work on her journal challenges during their 6 day trip.  By the time they came back home, she had completed everything but the Vizard of Vine and it won't be far behind.

One of the purposes of this trip was to let Mario get enough happiness points to change his Lifetime Wish.  He started out with Descendant of da Vinci and that just won't do at all.  I'm not going to spend that much time with him and he's already an Adult, so there's very little chance he would get it.  He took up photography while in Shang Simla and got all the way to level 8, so he will be able to take over for Oliver.  He had a lot of wishes and soon reached 10,000 happiness points.  I changed his Lifetime Wish to Jack of All Trades.  I think I can get him to level 5 in 4 careers before he dies.  And it will make it easier to handle him if he's at work every day.

On the last night of their vacation, Banana and Mario enjoyed some of her nectar together.  Funny for us, but embarrassing for Mario, he showed that he can't really hold his nectar.

Hehe.  I didn't do it on purpose, I promise!  Don't you love his mint green leisure suit and sneakers?

They were home only a couple of hours when Banana found out she's pregnant!

[ratchie]

I can't wait to see the new nooboo. I am guessing that Banana has a pregnancy craving for watermelons.

Your videos are so great Pam!  How do you get the camera to move so smoothly?  Mine doesn't at all.

Loving your whole story so far!

-LD

[Pam]

I'm glad you like the videos!  I wasn't sure if they were too boring.  It's tricky with the camera, for sure.  Sometimes I have to take a video a few times before I get a good one to publish.  For zoom, using the X and Z keys are pretty smooth.  Other than that, it's just practice, I guess.  My game is set to where I hold down the right mouse key and move the ball with my fingers to move around the screen.  (I have a trackball mouse.)

Again, I'm very happy to hear you like them.  I'll keep making them if others are also enjoying them.

Haha. Everything she says sounds like a complaint. I sure wouldn't want to be sitting near them in a movie theater.

[Joria]

I love the videos too, Pam.  Keep them going.  I have a track ball too!  Cordless.

Childish Mario loves being part of a wealthy Dynasty because he gets to wear a cool pirate costume any time he wants.



And he gets to dress like an Army man.



And a 1970s disco king.



It was only a couple of hours after returning home from Shang Simla that Banana found out she's pregnant.



She seemed to blossom to a big round belly almost immediately.  Here, she's giving the big news to grandmother Nectarine.





With Mario's new Lifetime Wish of Jack of All Trades, he joined the Sports career as soon as they returned from their honeymoon.  Nectarine was helpful in training him because he had zero athletic skill.  Mario also gets to wear a cool race car outfit when he works out.



Banana has been the first of the Dynasty to put on a little baby weight.



Pregnancy didn't stop her from making her precious nectar, though.



She even went into labor in the middle of it.



In the middle of the pain, she still thought of nectar.



Mario appears to be cool headed in this shot, but he was really as freaked out as Chartreuse.



Once at the hospital, ex-boyfriend Kerry happened to be outside and he freaked out, too.



All went well with the birth.  Banana is proud to introduce Cinnamon Dreamweaver.
