Getting back from university had propelled Brianna into a higher pay-bracket and she was now a middle-school teacher. It meant that she had a lot more responsibility and she also had to improve some skills, so well...before and after dinner she had her nose in a skill-book, improving her logic skills; presumably to keep mouthy kids from getting uppity. Corporal punishment in schools was not allowed and the switch was an ancient relic relegated to the dusty drawers of old or securely fastened to a plaque adorning the principal's office. Nowadays one had to negotiate good behavior. Maybe that's why we're getting smug, antisocial little twerps like VJ Alvi and other little cretins like that. Maybe they're missing something...quite possibly a good swift boot to the rear with a steel-toe. Brianna was grateful for the stern, but loving and fair upbringing that she'd gotten from her mom and dad.
Meanwhile, there were some older residents of Riverview that could use some corporal correction like one Rhoda Bagley...who was the town kingpin who was the coordinator of all the un-aligned criminals that seemed to pervade, essentially the local crime-lord, who was probably in cahoots with the Emperor of Evil, but who knew. As it was, she was meddling with the Chikamoris which caused Susan to go over and let her know that she was on to the Bagley's doing.
Elsa had to head off to work, just as Susan came home from giving Rhoda Bagley a right-cross to the side of the face. She stomped into the yard with a self-satisfied look on her face and a curt, "Good morning, that witch won't be bothering our family again." Haruo figured that it was much better to not know anything about what Susan was talking about and proceeded out the gate to go get the morning mail and pay the bills.
Once he was done those duties, he went into the kitchen to cook a nice meal. His family had to eat after all and well, a perfect dinner was always something nice to cook up. The Minus One Kelvin fridge and a top of the line stove were always good to insure that happened.
When he went to the teppanyaki grill he was joined by his wife so that they could make two servings and set it out for everyone to eat. After all...two teppanyaki grills were better than one after all. Why not have it so that two sims could cook at once? And their family would be able to eat a lot faster when the meals were set out for them in advance.
Greta and Braden's wedding was scheduled for that afternoon and most of the preparations were being made for the invited guests. Of course they still had a buffet table set up so that they could all eat, however the invited guest could choose to eat teppanyaki too if they so wished. After all there was nothing so good as a home-cooked meal. It was probably a lot healthier than fast-food.
The snow started falling just before the ceremony...
...and the ceremony, despite the fact that it was cold, took place outside, under the floral arch (at least the flowers were from the local hothouses and were able to be set up at least temporarily without them wilting from the cold). Of course, the two lovebirds stood under the arch and stared at each other with identically beatifically happy grins.
The ceremony involved the saying of the vows and the exchanging of rings.
...which culminated in a wonderful kiss for the both of them. Of course everyone cheered, which prompted them to do yet another one.
The reception was just as homey as the ceremony was. It wasn't a bit knockout wedding with a ton of people crowding a community venue but it was a wedding that had the people that Braden and Greta cared about; the people who were closest to them and that was all that mattered.
...and eventually everyone had to head home so that the Chikamoris could sleep; including the newlyweds.
...and all was happy.
