St. Peter's Cathedral | Belomisia, Selvadorada

Gianni somber: Thank you all for coming. I'd like to say a few words.

Gianni: I wish I could stand here today and say what an honorable man my father was. I wish I could say that we had the best relationship and that my siblings and I could say he was someone we looked up to. I really wish I could say those things but unfortunately, that's not our reality.

Gianni: To know my father is to know that he had a lot of faults. I mean, he died in prison after being sentenced to 20 years, for senseless crimes that affected everyone around him. As his son, he made it impossible to stick beside him. It took him finally paying for his crimes to start taking accountability for any of his actions. Talk about frustrating.

Gianni: Even though my dad left behind some complicated relationships with each one of us, I am forever grateful for the brothers he gave me. Grayson was nothing like my dad. Every trait he possessed was good-natured. He was the first of us to forgive him. He's a stand-up man and husband. My younger brother's Guy and Garrett are two of the coolest kids you'll ever meet. Understandably, Guy didn't want to be here today. The way those two stand by their mom, how they excel in school, I'm just really proud.

Gianni: So, when I was asked to speak on behalf of my brothers, I thought about how difficult it would be to talk positively about my dad. But while it's not the cleanest, he does have a pretty great legacy he's leaving behind. While I wish things could've been different, I wouldn't change a thing about who I get to call my family and that's in part to my dad. May he rest in peace.

As usual, here's some gameplay shenanigans as well. Had everyone stay in a Selvadorada Rental while they were in town for the funeral. Gave the girls a chance to get to know the younger brothers!

Creeksbrey Ballroom | Umbrage, SimDonia

Here comes the bride all dressed in white! Olivia walks up the aisle unescorted to greet her fiancé. She wears a custom Victoria Becksim column style dress with intricate floral detail along the dress and the lace sleeves. The dress is accessorized by a bowed waist and full length veil that gives her the angelic bridal look. The floral theme continues in her jewelry and hair accessories.

At the alter, Grayson and Olivia exchange vows. Grayson speaks on how their love has persevered and could withstand anything while Olivia gushes about being apart and creating a new family together. Next, the couple exchange rings, and finally go in for the big kiss before walking down the aisle as husband and wife!

Introducing Grayson and Olivia Wu-Ravikumar!

Creeksbrey Ballroom | Umbrage, SimDonia

After a quick cocktail hour in the hall, the guests returned to the ballroom which was transformed into a beautiful reception. Guests enjoyed dinner, dancing, and of course more wedding festivities. The newlywed couple had their first dance, cut their cake, and enjoyed time with family.

Glass clinks again

Emmitt: Alright, it's my turn for a speech. Gather round, folks!

Bria: Honey, how many of those little glasses of champagne have you had?

Laugher

Emmitt: Funny funny, honey. I promise I'll keep it quick!

Emmitt: First, I would also like to say thank you to everyone here. An event like this is so joyous and special and that's mainly because of all of you. There are many reasons why I love my wife, but one of those reasons is because of this big, beautiful family that I'm so proud to be a part of. Seeing you all rally together this week for this happy couple brings me and my wife so much happiness.

Emmitt: As a father, you always want the best for your children. When I met Grayson, he was a shy but curious little boy. He wanted to know all about me because he was very protective over his mother, understandably. Since then, I've watched that little boy graduate high school, go to college, live abroad, start a career, go through everything from heartbreak to joy to scared to excited. And now I get to see him marry the love of his life. A young lady that none of us could've chosen better. At every turn, this young man has made me the proudest dad on the planet.

Emmitt: We may not be related by blood, but there is something much stronger that bonds me to my sons - love. What we are here celebrating today. I'm so happy for you both and I cannot wait to see you both say "I do" tomorrow. Let's raise a glass for the happy couple!

Grayson: Thank you, Emmitt!

Olivia: That was lovely!

Bria: I'm not crying, you are.

Gustavo Ravikumar’s Residence | Windenburg, Simerica

Ariana: Oooh. This big occasion deserves some champagne.

Gustavo: Honey, you think every occasion deserves champagne.

Ariana: And I am always right! It’s not everyday that your son gets great opportunities like this! 

Gianni: Thanks, Ariana. I am excited.

Gustavo: So, son, tell us about this... Bella..?

Gianni: Bella Donna. She’s really popular on Simstagram and Simtok. She has millions of followers who already love her music. She’s kind of a country pop singer. I’m working with her in the studio this week.

Gustavo: Nice. Good to see that Fiona’s bringing some good talent in there.

Ariana: Oooo! I’ll make sure to follow her! I can even give her a shoutout for you, Gianni! You know, you’re stepmom is almost at 5,000 followers, right? Pretty impressive, huh?

Gianni: Sure... thanks.

Garrett: I’ve seen Bella Donna before...

Gianni: You have?

Guy laughs: Yeah, on Simtube.

Gianni: Uh... Dad? Not sure her music is exactly kid-friendly...

Gustavo: Oh, it’s fine. Now, tell me more about your studio session. She’s already got songs?

Gianni: Uh... yeah. She’s got some songs she’s done before she got signed that we need to professionally record. She’s ready to make an album.

Gustavo: That’s great, son. Hey! At this rate, you’ll be the hottest name in discovering new artists out there!

Gianni: Thanks, Dad. I can’t wait.

Gustavo to Gianni: So, let me guess. The new artist is a looker, right?

Gianni: Dad! What does that matter?

Gustavo: Look, I know you, G. You are just like I was at your age. The ladies love us Ravikumar men, trust me. Just get your work done and play later. Don’t let these ladies get you in trouble... because they will try, believe me.

Ariana: What was that, dear?

Gustavo: Nothing, honey! Love the meal.

Ariana: Sure... and thanks, I got it from that restaurant you like up the street.

Gustavo to Gianni: Remember what I said, son.

Gianni: Yeah.... thanks, Dad.
