As a surprise for Nellie, Frank invited her closest friends over for the weekend to throw her a bridal shower. He knew she was finding the idea of getting married without her family or friends difficult to bear. Nevertheless, it was a sacrifice they had to make to keep the farm a float and to savor a small honeymoon to France.
One phone call to Anna Leigh who was dubbed the ‘mother’ of the group - due to her wisdom, ability to organise and multitask like no one else - and the girls left their busy lives and came together at the old farmhouse in the midst of ancient trees and sprawling wildflowers. Vesper left her insta-worthy adventures, Roxie left her beautiful young family and sweet Gracie left behind her new teaching career; all to be with their friend who needed them.
It was Vesper’s idea to host the morning tea outdoors where Frank proposed to Nellie. Anna Leigh - culinary goddess - baked magic and brewed the most delightful tea. Gracie sneakily ran around picking the flowers that adorned the table. Roxie distracted Nellie with tales of her children and then blindfolded her and led her to the morning tea.
The day flew by in a heartbeat and before they knew it, their time together was drawing to an end. Frank, who had become quite the camera man that day, took one last photo. That photo became a keepsake of their weekend together and the memories they shared.
A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to the amazing simblrs who trusted me with their beautiful simmies. These amazing people are @kevinvoncrastenburg, @silverowlblog, @simsdeogloria and @velvetpxl. I told you that I was a slow poke and I thank you for your patience and faith in me. I hope I’ve done you and your simmies proud. @simblrsimplyforfun
In Gracie’s lovestory I had planned that she had broken off an engagement in the past and had trust issues from it. But onto new households now so poor Gracie is in limbo. Maybe she’ll get her happy ending one day
“Wow Nellie, I’m so happy for you and Frank. Congratulations.”
Nellie smiled and blushed a bit, “Thanks Gracie. You know you’re coming to my bridal shower right?”
“I wouldn’t miss it. Plus I want to steal some of that lavender you’ve been growing and see if it will grow as pretty in my garden as in yours.”
“Please do,” she took another bite of her cake. “This stuff is good”
“Not as good as yours I’m sure” Gracie smiled and looked outside, distracted by a small finch.
“So, any guys in your life?” Nellie asked gently.
Gracie shook her head no and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes. “Nope” she said bravely. “Not since…”
Nellie reached out and put her hand on Gracie’s arm, “It’s okay. You’ll find the right one soon enough”
Gracie tried to smile as she finished her coffee. “What do you say we take some pictures before leaving? This place is too cute not to, don’t you think?”
