A.2 Royal Wedding

Welcome back one and all to the next installment of Wishing Upon a Star! We're starting off today with the happiest day in all young Disney princesses' lives . . . the day they get to marry their Prince!

Now that it's the weekend Ella was finally able to throw her wedding party. Since it was in the middle of winter and almost constantly snowing, she sprung for renting out a chapel in town.

AURORA - OMP! What if nobody shows up again like my Gift Giving Party?! I don't think I can handle the shame!!!

Poor Aurora's coward trait was peeking out every now and then. Edward actually managed to be fairly laid-back, surprisingly. Taking in the ambiance.

The bride and groom took their place beneath the arch.

While their guests looked on! Luckily both of her brothers managed to show up on time, and so did Sabrina. Margaret was . . . late.

While they didn't manage to sit next to each other, the mother and father of the bride were both quite taken with the romance of the day.

ALADDIN - I just can't believe my baby sister is getting married! It's just so moving!

SABRINA - Why didn't WE get a big wedding like this! >:[

The curse of the spares, sweetie. Curse of the spares.

ARCHIMEDES - BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Well then. Somebody else was quite moved as well. O_o

Oblivious, Aurora and Edward exchanged rings and vows and officially became His and Her Majesty Disney. :P

Then it was upstairs to the reception area to cut the cake.

Sadly, the guests couldn't make it up there in time to actually witness the cake being cut. But Edward was there, and that was the most important part.

Ella and Sabrina made it up eventually . . . along with this little creeper kid crasher.

And look who else finally managed to show! And of course, being insane, Maggie decided her everyday wear was just fine for a formal royal wedding.

AURORA - Rage . . . building . . . must not get blood on my dress . . . .

EDWARD - Now, now, sweetheart. She's family, remember? Certain allowances have to be made for family.

ELLA - Take a breath, sweetie.

Aurora was soon distracted when Edward asked her for a slow dance. This interaction adds so much to weddings. :) You'll also notice that Walt and Aladdin managed to make it upstairs as well. But where was Archie?

ARCHIMEDES - This is the greatest party of all time! *throws rice over and over*

Poor bb . . . *resetsim*

ALADDIN - This might be an awesome party but your dancing is a DISGRACE, Aurora! BOOOO!

AURORA - Oh no! I can't believe I was just heckled!

EDWARD - Oh no, m-my foot is fine, sweetie. Spike heels don't hurt nearly as much as one might think . . . .

Walt was forced to take Ella aside and show the younger generation how it's done. Walt+Ella=ADORABLE

WALT - They look so good together, Ella . . . I think we did pretty good.

ELLA - We did, sweetheart. We did.

MARGARET - I wanted a big wedding like this. With cake. And dancing. 

ELLA - Guess you should have worked harder on winning the hearts and minds of the readers, eh?

WALT - . . . awkward . . . .

While the rest of the family enjoyed some cake, Aurora and Edward got their boogie on. Dancing in the most painfully awkward, WHITE way they possibly could. I lol'd. A lot.

He might not know how to dance worth a damn, but once he got them back home Edward proved once again that he knew how to do that Horizontal Mamba QUITE well.

I see where your eyes are headed, Aurora. Innocent princess my a**.

^_~

After the excitement of the wedding and the fun of the wedding night it was back to skilling on the piano. Since the 1.50 patch everyone has been double-skilling I guess? I don't mind necessarily, though it does sort of feel like cheating considering what Aurora's LTW is . . . oh well.

Piano lessons soon get interrupted by a mysterious case of tummy problems . . .

Praying to the porcelain goddess . . . ah yes, the B Generation is officially on the way!

This is in Aurora and Edward's bedroom. Aurora isn't an egomaniac. Not at all. *shifty eyes*

You might have noticed the plaques behind her statue. That would be because our heiress has officially graduated high school! She did quite well for herself, too.

 She was thrilled to see that she'd been voted Most Popular, of course.

AURORA - My beloved subjects! They love me, they REALLY love me!

Since she's in the Painter career, I still have her paint at least one painting a day to work toward that. Queen Aurora popped her first pregnancy while she was in the middle of that.

Edward is hard at work at his political career as well. He needs more friends for his charisma skill, so he's taken to schmoozing the in-laws.

EDWARD - You're a virtuoso, Ella. You love music, don't you?

ELLA - I suppose, yes . . .

EDWARD - Well, if I'm elected into the City Council I promise to increase funding for our school's music program! So a vote for me is a vote for music!

ELLA - Edward . . . aren't you still just a ballot counter?

EDWARD - It's never too early to start campaigning!

AURORA - Hello baby!

EDWARD - Hello, sweetie!

AURORA - Oh, not you Edward. I was talking to the baby in my tummy.

EDWARD - The . . . what?

Oops, I think she forgot to tell him . . .

EDWARD - You're pregnant, Aurora?! Why didn't you say something?

AURORA - Eep! I-It's not my fault! It's your ROCKET! He's to blame!

EDWARD - First off, I don't remember you complaining when my 'rocket' was doing the job.

AURORA - Um . . .

EDWARD - But more importantly, I'm not angry that you're pregnant sweetheart. I'd just have liked to know about it a little sooner?

AURORA - Oh . . . well . . . baby, yay!

After that was settled, Edward took the opportunity to get to know his future spawn. Taking advantage of all the adorable pregger-tummy interactions that only ever get used on the first born because after that the parents are far too busy to be bothered. -_-

AURORA - So . . . let me get this straight. Not only have you been sending my husband love letters in the mail every day for the past week, but you just took it upon yourself to pull our laundry out of the washer and dump it on the ground before declaring yourself done for the day?

MAID - Um . . . yes?

AURORA - Queen gonna have to choke a b*tch.

Danger, danger, danger.

Later that evening Aurora decided to go into labor while working on her latest painting.

AURORA - Pain! Do not want!

Fittingly, it was also a full moon. Edward was elected to take his wife to the hospital in their new Audi. 

EDWARD - Sweetheart, your phone is ringing. Aren't you going to answer it?

AURORA - I will shove this umbrella into a place it was never meant to be shoved if you don't get the car and get me to the hospital in the next ten seconds.

SO annoying that you can't access their phone while they're in labor, even to ignore incoming calls. So instead Aurora's butt rang throughout the entire labor.

Despite that Aurora was able to give birth to a healthy baby boy! . . . Aurora, what's with the face?

AURORA - I . . . I wanted a girl. I decorated for a girl. I even ate watermelons so I'd have a girl. ;_;

Well don't fret, you have to have at least three babies, so there's always next time.

Until then, everyone welcome Ben Disney to the world! Ben is a Light Sleeper who also Loves the Cold (I'm sensing a trend?). He enjoys Hip Hop music, Mac n Cheese (like Grandpa!) and the color Red.

Ben has been named for this guy, B.E.N. from the wonderful movie Treasure Planet.

Aurora laid Ben to rest in his crib, in the nursery which had . . . indeed . . . been decorated solely with a girl in mind. Since I'm lazy, Ben will just have to deal with it because I didn't feel like redecorating.

After the baby was down for a nap, Aurora went to get cleaned up. And Edward . . . decided to join her. No time like the present for MOAR BABIEZ!

Despite her original reservations, Aurora loves her son. Mario-Ernie and Luigi-Burt gaze on proudly while she gives him his daily snuggles.

But after that, the new pregnancy was making itself painfully known.

Back to the Porcelain Goddess, making offerings in the hopes of a happy and healthy pregnancy. XD

Grandpa Walt was on hand to help with baby Ben as well. Our founder was excited to meet his grandson and see the continuation of his family's legacy.

Walt is QUITE the happy sim. He's managed to surpass 200k Lifetime Happiness points, which nets us yet another point!

Everybody is helping out with Ben, even dad. After work he gives the baby a change on the table . . . but I think that's waaaaay too much powder there, Edward.

EDWARD - Nonsense! *pours even more on*

Please don't suffocate the baby . . .

Even if there's officially more on the way.

Luckily Edward managed to not kill his son, and all too soon it was time for Ben's first birthday!

AURORA - Yay birthday! . . . please don't let this cake attract flies, omp . . . .

Edward, maybe show some enthusiasm?

There we go, that's much more like it. Everyone managed to show up and celebrate, even if gramma Ella was a little late to the party. Those elder bladders aren't what they used to be, after all.

 Ta-daaaaaah! I give you completely adorable toddler Ben Disney! He inherited grandpa Walt's eyes, and what I'm assuming to be his Grandpa Renauld's hair. It's mostly white with brown roots. His skintone is also very pink-ish, so I think that comes from Edward's side of the family as well.

Mama got started right away on the potty training. Ben's concentration is fierce.

FIERCE.

After that he got put into the new playpen to test it out. I'm wondering if the skill they learn in the abacus adds onto the logic they learn from the peg box and the books, or does it replace it? I wasn't able to test it out fully, for reasons you'll see later on.

Ben wasn't left in the playpen for long though, as Grandpa Walt took him out and got him started on his walking much to Ben's excited delight.

Before we go, some quick spares updates. Archimedes and Margaret's son Aslan has become a child. Currently dressed in a spooky-day costume even though it's spring . . . my game has the weirdest glitches.

And Aladdin and Sabrina's daughter Ariel has also become a child. Both turning out quite cute so far!

Well then, that's it for this installment! Join us next time to see Aurora and Edward continue to reach for their life's goals and add to their rapidly expanding brood of nooboos. Until then, happy simming!
