Weddings, Honeymoons & Parties
https://i.imgur.com/7zwaJki.png?1 So I just had my second wedding in my BACC. It's been a more elaborate affair than the first couple because there's a few community lots and more money around now....

I have downloaded several wedding venues from the gallery, which I set to generic when I download them. When I'm ready for a wedding, I change the chosen venue to lounge (or nightclub if there's a dj booth on the lot and I want a free dj, either way I get a free bartender). I usually max out the guest list so there aren't very many random walk-ins since the venue is crowded enough with the invited guests.
I generally have the couple move in together at least a few hours ahead of the wedding so I can control both for the party. I don't schedule the wedding on the calendar, but I pick the date based on a combination of weather and the family schedules. I just throw the party at whatever time I feel like on the chosen date. I usually don't have a caterer, and have a household member bake a cake in advance and take it along, and set up the buffet table and sometimes the fountain at the venue. I have the bride(s) and/or groom(s) set their chosen wedding attire as their second formal outfit so I can easily switch to it at the beginning of the party. I've used several dresses that come in white (red for vampires) as well as those obviously intended as wedding dresses, and tuxes in multiple colors.
My current save is mostly the sim in my profile pic and her nine children and their families, so most weddings are strictly family affairs. There's more family than there are guess slots in the party planner. Usually the spouse that's marrying into the family spends part of the party introducing themselves to their new in-laws.
Here's a few pictures:
My sim Athena just remarried this past weekend, to Geeta Rasoya. The wedding was in Athena's house, a remodel of the Old Salt House in San Myshuno.
