Liang is concerned as well. It was not his intention to upset Kristina's parents. Maybe it was all too soon, maybe he should have waited to move to Appaloosa Plains?

Nathan gave him the same advice he gave Kristina: give them time, the Wassems are a bit intense, but soon they will realize Liang and Kristina are meant for each other, and they will accept him. Not to mention how happy they'll be when their first grandchild is born.

 Well, the party is over. It wasn't so bad after all, but Kristina is exhausted, it's time to go home.

Oops, looks like Khaled didn't catch a ride with his dad and siblings, now he'll have to wait for Nathan, Kayla and his mom.

Nathan had a present for Kristina, she is so emotional that she seems to forget about her little brother. Khaled doesn't pay much attention to her either, all he wants to know is what time they are going home.

The gift was a nice detail, but Kristina is still worried cause her parents didn't seem very happy. Nathan thinks she should give them a chance to process the whole thing.

 

The afternoon keeps going on, Nathan is almost finished with his cake, Kristina is standing up. It's time for the dance.

Kristina and Liang finally get together.

Meanwhile, Kay watches them from afar. She's not sure if their marriage is going to work, but she admits they make a cute couple.

Nathan and Benni are also together already. We have two happy couples in the house this afternoon. 😊

 

Kristina and Liang decided to cut a second cake, because: 1) The one in The Sims 3 store gives non-existent slices. 2) Some guests did not arrive in time to see them cut the first one.  

Not to mention that there was yet another cake on the wedding buffet table XD

Everyone gets to eat real cake now.

 Well, they're all there (including Nathan), now it's just a matter of waiting for everyone to put on their formal attire.

Kristina's mother, Kay, is ready, only Aaron and everyone else is missing. Liang takes the moment to contemplate his (non-existent) wedding ring. 😄

And there's Aaron, finally! Now, let's get on with it. Kristina starts cutting the cake.

Benni Hennessey has joined them, Nathan is still nowhere to be seen, he must be out with his little siblings.

Oh, here's Nathan already. Meanhile, Kay congratulates the groom and Benni stands bedazzled by the Wassems' celebrity.

(Kristina and Liang's wedding will continue). 

Credits and thanks to PolarBearSims for their lovely lot Mystic Church and Cemetery, which is where Kristina and Liang got married. 😊💕

 Kristina is worried because her parents have not arrived. Could it be that her dad got upset with her and decided not to come? Oh, no Kristina, Aaron adores you, and of course he's coming to the wedding! 

(What actually happened is that the Wassem's farm is too far away from the wedding venue, so they were late, and on top of that they got stuck at the entrance, so they weren't on time to sit down, Kristina and Liang couldn't start the ceremony and they got the "missed the wedding" moodlet. You know, game stuff, but the wedding took place anyway😉).

Kristina had to ask Liang to get married once more via the arch, and it all started again.

It is the morning of Kristina and Liang's wedding day.

They are on their way to the venue where the ceremony and reception will take place, accompanied by Nathan. The rest of the family should be there already.

When they arrive, no one from the family is in sight, where is everyone?

 Liang prepared breakfast for Kristina, Nathan and himself before leaving for work. Nathan is already at the dining room, eating; Kristina did not come downstairs. 

Is she alright? Liang can't go and ask her now cause the carpool is about to arrive.

Well, the carpool is here, Liang thought Kristina was probably still asleep, so he just left. He's sure she's fine, he'll talk to her when he returns.

On his way home from the gym, Nathan ran into Cheyenne again, she looks gorgeous with her new hairstyle, and today she did pay attention to him as he talked to her.

Except when Nathan started talking about how great the gym facilities were, that didn't interest Chayanne, and Skedaddle, the Darnell-Johnson's horse, even less. 

In the evening, Nathan visited his parents' farm and played some hopscotch with his siblings.

The three kids look up to Nathan and love playing with him, especially Kevin.

Khaled, for his part, is happy because he won this game, which Kayla wasn't too happy about.

A view of Kristina and Nathan's house. A part of the Cheyenne and Shawnee Fox ranch can be seen in the background.

Since it was not cold today, Nathan went for a swim in the pool to improve his athletic skill. Behind him is his beloved igloo, which has not melted yet, (too bad Benni could not stay to take advantage of it).

Preparing lunch after the swim.

He also took the time to give Snowie some care. 

When he went jogging that morning, Nathan ran into his neighbor, Cheyenne Fox. Cheyenne has been a friend of the Wassem family since he was a teenager. Nathan was actually very attracted to her, but never tried anything, since she's older than him to begin with, happily married with children, and clearly not interested in him. Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't still like her. 

(By the way, At the time this picture was taken, Cheyenne had lost her original hair, I guess it was due to some makeover done by me that went wrong, oh well.)

Since Cheyenne is married and Nathan has a girlfriend, the talk they had was about family. Nathan filled Cheyenne in on the latest developments, that he and Kristina had left her parents' home, and that Kristina had a boyfriend she had met in Shang Simla. Cheyenne nodded and said very little, she probably thinks Nathan and his sister are still just kids. 

Nathan took advantage of the visit to chat with his dad, while Kayla and Kira gossiped with the babysitter.

The meeting was also an opportunity to say hello to her old friend Dakota.

It was good to see everyone again. Honestly, sometimes Nathan misses the bustle of the family home.

When Nathan returned home he found Kristina talking with Benni, who, to his surprise (and happiness), had already become a young adult.

Kristina left them alone so they could talk about their business, but... what is Nathan thinking about?

Hm, I think that's pretty obvious...

Sunrise in Appaloosa Plains, it's a sunny day, finally!

Liang slept late because he was so tired from his trip and, ahem, other things.

Kristina did get up early to feed Snowie, since Nathan is sleeping too. Then she played with her for a while.

Snowie seems to have found something better to do.

Nathan woke up and went downstairs for breakfast.

The sun is already streaming through the window, but Liang has decided to stay in bed. No problem, his time in Appaloosa will be a long one, he'll have a good chance to experience the town, this is just the beginning!
