Generation 1: Chapter 16: Father of the Bride
Well snap, Trina's getting married!!! AND Edward is actually really cool about it and is throwing all the money he can to make this the best wedding she can have.
The next day, Trina's off to work!.....Wait this is what she wears as a programmer? That's a pretty swell job.
At that time, Rina and Katrina had a jam session in the only music room in The What House! As you can tell by this awkward camera angle, this room is tiny.
There we go, their new music studio, they don't need a room dedicated to botany anyways. No one in this family cares about plants!
Meanwhile, you can't say that Rina isn't a good sister. Here she is helping take care of Mira while the parents are busy.
Well it is the day of Trina's wedding. Hope everything's going well!
"So is this wedding everything I said it would be or what?" Edward asks with a big grin.
"Isn't this the same place where you married Mom?" Trina asks "Doesn't sound like you spent too much since you paid this much when you were just the Mayor."
"I'm just glad I get to see one of my kids get married!" Katrina says with joy.
She says this because Nina and Dina never invited her to their weddings.
Well now's the big moment where Trina's going to say her vows to Ripp.
I now pronounce you, Mr and Mrs Grunt. Mazel Tov! 
"What the heck, I paid all this extra money for a musician that never showed up?!" Edward complains.
"Don't worry dad." Rina responds. "I got this."
So Rina moved over to the piano and started playing her heart out.
"Move over kid." Katrina cuts her off "Let a professional handle this."
The Wedding is over, The Baxters headed back to The What House with The Grunts as they prepared to move out on their own.
"So long everyone!" Trina says in a farewell. "But fret not, now that I'm moving out I'll begin my own adventures for the folks at home to follow along with! Perhaps my story will even be better than my father's, who knows? We won't find out until I become the new main character next chapter!"
"Wait, do you really think you're the heir for the next generation just because you're the oldest?" Edward questions "Ha, that's funny. Have fun kids."
This story's still about Edward for the time being, sorry Trina.
That's when Edward approached Rina.
"So, when are YOU getting married?" Edward asked "I just need to know so I can start planning now."
"Nah don't worry about me. Already got eloped." Rina states bluntly.
"You....what?" Edward asked, still processing what was just said.
"Yep, been dating Skylar Bheeda. Kinda weird looking, but sweet guy." Rina explains. "But one day he just popped the question and we just said 'why not start now?' and next thing we know, we're signing the marriage papers.
That's when Skylar Bheeda approached Rina from behind.
"Hey Babe, you ready to move out now?" Skylar asked.
And just like that, Edward had two vacant rooms in The What House.
Alright everyone, let's jump.....Three years into the future! It's now.....2055......Introducing 40 year old Edward Baxter! Oh dear Ed.....what has happened to you? There's barely any color left in your hair! Your perfectly ripped body is slowly turning into a pile of pudding!
Then here's 58 year old.....Oh dear, 58 year old Katrina. Just sad to see aging Sims.
Oh but hey, it's 5 year old Mira. The one instance where seeing an aging Sim isn't so bad. Little Mira is off to her first day of school, something tells me she'll be a smart Sim since her parents and sister (just one Sister) raised her so well.
Meanwhile, Tina here is approaching the grand Ol' 18, and here she is writing her novel while Jiggles the Butler tends to her whims.
One day Edward was just chilling out in The Oval Office with Mira.
"Say Dad, can I sit at your desk?" Mira asked politely.
"One day when you're older, sweetie." Edward answered calmly.
"Is that a challenge?" Mira said with a devious grin.
Meanwhile, Edward and Katrina used Trina's old rocket for.....less than stellar reasons.
Boy will the public be upset knowing just how many tax payer dollars were used to pay for this trip.
But boy was it worth it.
Turns out the Baxters didn't like how laggy the What House was. So while this What House didn't burn down tragically, they just decided to move into this mansion. Edward still goes to the What House for President things, but they just need a lag free home.
Oh and here comes Mira's best friend forever, Mei. Mei Feng. Yeah that's right, a Baxter and a Feng? Best Friends?! What kind of sorcery is this?!
Oh boy, a knock at the door! Looks like the welcome wagon is here to greet the Baxters! Again, a Welcome Wagon for the President's family? In America you have to go through so many security checkpoints just to be in the same room as the President, but in Simerica you can just walk up to his door with fruitcake? 
Oh...it's not just any family. It's the Second Family, The Landgraabs that came to visit.
"Oh snap, I didn't know you guys lived in this neighborhood!" Edward exclaimed cheerfully. "We should all go take a dip in my new pool!"
"Is this what my life has amounted to?" a visibly aging Geoffrey Landgraab groaned.
Speaking of swimming pool, here's Almost 18 year old Alina diving in.
"Why did I go swimming with makeup on?" Alina asked the same question we were all thinking.
You know, honestly the person here who got the best deal is Mira. I mean check out her room on the top floor with this killer balcony.
"One day, this world will be mine." Mira says while gazing at the city below her.
Alright, back to The What House for another grand meeting of The Baxter Administration.
"Gotta say, I like this What House over the first one." Malcolm Landgraab says while looking around the war room. "Much more accurate to The White House."
"Anyways, I would like to welcome our newest member, General Buzz Grunt." Edward cheerfully "We might've been political rivals, but now our kids are married! Isn't that wonderful?"
"Thanks Mr President." General Grunt said with pride "Now unfortunately, a lot of other countries are making fun of us for the fact that owning a dog or a cat as a pet is still illegal. So I propose we go to war immediately."
"Didn't you commit a warcrime?" Travis Scott asks the General suspiciously.
"YOU WEREN'T THERE! WE'D ALL BE TEST SUBJECTS OF THE SIXAMSIANS RIGHT NOW IF I HADN'T DONE WHAT I DID!" General Grunt shouts before running out of the room.
"Mr President, I have to use the bathroom again." Bob Pancakes said as he shuffled out of the war room.
Well that was another horribly failed meeting of the Baxter Administration. At least Edward has some much needed alone time.
"Yes, one day this world will be mine." Edward said with sinister intent while looking out the window.
"Should I have been witness to what you just said?" Jesminder Bheeda says with concern.
To be continued.
