Mona and Vincent's Wedding

January 29, 2013

Today is a very special day for the great-grandparents. It's their granddaughter Mona's wedding with the sculptor Vincent Steele. At the same time, Kim is celebrating that she has painted enough paintings to complete the Master of the Brush Challenge. 

Also, the City Council granted her the Author's Trophy of Honor in recognition for the sales of her book that  exceeded the 25,000 simoleons. It means that Kim Kamel, besides being a great painter, is also an accomplished writer.

 

By the way, she has just gotten a gift copy of her most recent novel Attack of the Cougars on the mail.

The Kamels' life is full of achievements but they've decided to take it easy. Farid has left his business in the hands of his children and grandchildren, and has retired to a small cabin near the mountains.

 

Now he and Kim will only dedicate themselves to enjoy the family life. Of course they have taken their loyal pet, Sultan, with them. Farid takes him for a walk every morning.

The morning before Mona's wedding wasn't the exception, although this time Farid and Sultan have to return home early, they have to prepare for the ceremony.

Vincent, for his part, has finished all the preparations and is heading home to finalize the party details.

Time flied and before they could realize it, Mona y Vincent found themselves in the middle of the ceremony, with all the family present, of course. Too bad Vincen'ts parents could not come from Starlight Shores due to their artistic occupations. You know famous people.

But Mona's relatives, on the other hand, were all present, from the ring exchange to the end of the party.

They're married now! Mona can hardly believe it.

A kiss of love is a must.

Karim applauds with emotion, he's happy this time, cause the groom is not Shark Racket. Now that's something to celebrate. Bella is doing all she can to call her ex husband's attention, but he's too focused on the ceremony.

Mona's oldest sister Anwar attended with his wife, Noelle. he's happy as well with Mona's new marriage, that's why he applauds his head off. It seems like this time the whole family approves of the broom.

There's Mona's grandpa, happy for his granddaughter. He didn't dislike Shark, but just like everybody else, he prefers Vincent and wishes the best for him and Mona.

Amin of course was at his sister's wedding too, but he spend the whole day talking about politics - for a change -. Fortunately, grandpa has an infinite patience and loves Amin as much as all his other grandchildren, so he listend to him until the end.

Then everybody had dinner, including Mona and Vincent, who, with all the hustle and bustle they are half starved.

Vincent was very attentive to all of Mona's family. At the next table was grandpa with his grandchildren Amin and Tanya.

To conclude with the magnificent party, they cut the classic wedding cake.

Vincent cut a piece for grandma, who has come to say goodbye cause she and granpa have to leave already. It's a bit late for them.

As they say goodbye, Grandma takes the opportunity to give Mona advice, not only about marriage but also about photography, which is what Mona is dedicated to and which Kim knows quite a bit about due to her many travels around the world. Davy Cho, Mona's half-sister Tanya's husband, has also already said goodbye.

One last dance before the party ends.

Mona and Vincent are the couple of the moment.

And the end of the party arrived, all the others are starting to leave. Like all the Kamel family's parties, this has been a great success. Surely no one will ever forget it.

When they were left alone, Mona was exhausted so she retired to sleep. Meanwhile, Vincent had to tend to little Sharon, give her a bottle and change her diapers, finally having to lull her back to sleep for quite a while. With this, Vincent has restarted his life as a dad.

The morning has come to Hidden Springs.

Alright, Sharon is sleeping, Vincent is drained and he and Mona have to leave soon for their honeymoon, so off to sleep too!
