That same day, Violet and Jovan had taken their time getting up, sleeping through everyone's morning routines!
Jovan has something on his mind.

Jovan has always wanted to be married. He doesn't like being single, and finds it very lonely being a single Dad. He wants to enjoy all of parenthood and his entire life with someone special!
Violet also wants to be married and thinks about life with Jovan, her ideal mate and companion!

Jovan struggles with the best way to word his feelings.
"Violet, you know how much I love you...." he starts, getting choked up.
"Yes... Jovan?...yes?...."

Jovan glances about the room. This isn't exactly the romantic setting he had in mind for asking Violet his important question.
He asks her out on a date instead.

Ah! Jovan has found the Perfect place to bring Violet! He stops right next to the fountain!
Violet agrees that this is a perfect setting!
That is Teddy and little JoJo, about to come down the steps.

Violet gazes into Jovan's eyes.
Teddy is curious. Well it is fun to people watch! Especially watching lovers! But Teddy is not smiling, watching lovers makes him think about Adan and it makes him want to have Adan here to flirt with Him!

Jovan flirts, hoping to get Violet more receptive to his big question!
Oh! she is already receptive and probably ahead of him! Violet looks so happy! Finally, it is happening to Her!

Just at that important moment, Octavio in his evilness, decides to photobomb the magical moment! LOL?
https://i.imgur.com/TI08w4y.jpg
I had to pause so I could laugh. Usually I just go with the unexpected, thinking those sims like Octavio butting in, must want to be included in this chapter! :wink:
OK, now where were we? Oh yes, Octavio got MC Reset so he wouldn't be able to wreck Jovan's well thought out proposal, in this very nice setting!
"Will you marry me, Vi?"
"Oh yes yes yes!!!" says Violet, very excited and happy. She goes crazy over how darling Jovan looks holding the sparking ring out to her.

Violet runs into Jovan's outstretched arms and they embrace, very in love and very happy about the promise of a life together.

The Summer festival is always a pleasure to attend, being populated with favorite sims friends!
I hang out here, waiting for the rest of the household to get off work and off school, so they can have some fun too!
Watching the other sims from the town is always fun for me. They are in the spoiler.
Spoiler
Baby JoJo toddles off to the sandbox while his DaDa Teddy practices soccer. In the back is Wikerman and his love Anya, sitting on the bench together.
https://i.imgur.com/2c5Crh5.jpg
Then Teddy decides to start up a hotdog eating contest, which Violet gets pulled to!
Teddy's husband, Adan arrives with baby Fina in his arms. Hopefully Teddy will see him!

I like to watch the contestants to see what they are thinking about! Violet is of course thinking about her wedding!
Oh does Teddy know about Violet's profession?
Hey, Does Teddy know that he will be the winner of the contest?!!! What a clever man!
Adan has found his husband and comes to join in the hotdog contest.
Then Jovan gets pulled to the contest as well!

School Principal Rico has come to the lot, feeling amused to be here instead of at school!
He finds his lovely wife Diana, or maybe they arrived together? Both heads of the school are skipping work!?
Fun Fact: Tamijo once told me that Rico looks just like him when he was in his 20's, and asked that I leave him as is, so I never changed Rico's appearance. I hope I was forgiven his Froggie adventures! Blame that terrible witch, Cherish! lol

Diana seems to have some problems! She is disturbed by the music of an invisible xylophone from the spring festival, it is not here in the summer, but she can hear it being played! I also can't see the toddler playing the musical toy! Nevertheless, Diana is disturbed! Well, she is neurotic, maybe she also has a higher sense of hearing?

It turns out that Teddy was right in his prediction that he wins the hotdog contest! I never knew he could predict the future!
Violet keeps eating! lol
And Jovan has a tummy ache.

But Teddy doesn't like it that Faira, a police woman living with Church lady, is taking the exact beach towel that he wanted!
"Faira, please move."
"No, I was here first."
https://i.imgur.com/IevaYrb.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/6PzpQmc.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/tNr45Lh.jpg
Teddy then tries to get her to be embarrassed, maybe that will make her move from his towel.
But no, Faira just contemplates her police notes, without budging, until Teddy decides to do something else.

Watching all of this is Jake, super cop, Church lady's beau, and also a roommate of Faira.
He hugs Faira, congratulating her on standing her ground.
https://i.imgur.com/TYfxPcb.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/QupWN3V.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/FeGLjQQ.jpg
"Jake, Teddy was being totally unreasonable!" says Faira. "So I just stood there, until he went away!"
Jake thinks this is hilarious.

Wikerman is Godsmack'd by the beauty of his love, Anya, as she walks by. (Only because I was listening to their music, I guess he was actually thunderstruck.) :wink:
Heck yeah, he's going to follow her!
https://i.imgur.com/8Ej7gcR.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/aZFkRrl.jpg
''Watcher, can you please reset these time travel contraptions?" they ask.
Certainly! *bing* They must want to travel somewhere in time?
"yay!" exclaims Anya.
''Ah! fantastic!'' Wikerman is very pleased! The couple are very much in love!

There has always been some kind of bond between the two. Even through her wild exploits with the firemen, Anya's favorite man remained the tattoo artist Wikerman. He has always held her heart captive. He never wanted another.
Wikerman just kind of bided his time until Anya calmed down, and decided to live with him.
They have been inseparable ever since.?
https://i.imgur.com/1NxBuqx.jpg
Ah, Faira's beau, Falcon Eddy, has joined her here at the festival. I always love it when couples are on the same lot.

Ding ding ding! Ashley and Bob FromAccounting have just left work, and both got their promotion and more importantly, their shiny new Police Cruisers! Yay!
I summon them to the Festival!
"Hey honey, what are we supposed to be doing here?" asks Bob.
"Hmm, Well if Watcher is just going to ignore us ...."

No I haven't ever seen a child do this!!! It is so cute!
But I hope it doesn't mean my game is breaking! :o

Jason decides to call Bébé, and ask her to come over and meet him at the festival!
"Hi Bébé! I missed seeing you at school. It looks so fun here at the festival, can you come and play?''
