Once again, an extra special thank you to everyone who sent sims to Ana and Douxie’s wedding! So sorry that this took forever to get up, the Sims 4 was being so uncooperative for a couple of hours. It was such a pleasure hosting your sims! 💖

Newlyweds Appear on the Balcony!

Short and sweet, is the phrase that could be best used for when the new Duke and Duchess of Clois appeared on the balcony of Nimben Palace.

While previous brides and grooms have been joined by their respective parents and their bridal party, the newlyweds chose instead to emerge together by themselves on the balcony, where they waved to the large crowds (the biggest that the Nimben Police Chief, Sonya Harie had ever seen on her 30+ years on the force). After a few minutes waving to the crowds, the crowds starting calling for the kiss, as the couple had not shared a kiss during their ceremony (that any cameras could see) nor during the carriage ride. 

The newlyweds happily indulged the crowds, kissing, not once, not twice but three times before they retired back inside to take official photographs and to get ready for their reception.

——————————————————————————— Author’s Note: Thank you so much to everyone who sent sims to Ana and Douxie’s big day! The reception will be up tomorrow as well as the official photos, but that’s all for the rest of the day! Now, I’ve got to go see Spider-Man: No Way Home and I’ll see you all tomorrow! - Sara

Foreign Guests Continue to Arrive!

Foreign guests from across the Simtinent are continuing to arrive at the wedding of Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester to her longtime boyfriend and fiancé, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois. 

1. Arriving next, hand in hand in their matching purple ensemble came Grand Duchess Lillian of Hallow Slough and Grand Count Alvin of SimDonia. This marks the first visit of the pair to Carrington, and we hope we’ll get to see them again. @bridgeportbritt 

2. Right behind the pair came Princess Isabella and Duke Matthew of Saliceau in yet another matching ensemble, this time in a shade of dark blue. The gorgeous couple won over the crowds as they arrived for their first visit to Carrington. @sosa-royals 

3. Right behind them, in their matching floral ensemble came the Duke and Duchess of Roosevelt. The couple happily waved to the crowds as they arrived. This is the first time that the couple have visited Carrington. @alandaroyalsims

4. Last to arrive from the foreign guests came Princess Madelyn, the Dowager Duchess of Thena. This is the Dowager’s first time visiting Carrington, and she won over the hearts of the crowds in her matching light green ensemble. @theroyalsofcorrilea 

The royal family will be arriving soon, stay tuned!

The First Foreign Guests Arrive!

The first foreign guests are beginning to arrive for the wedding of Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester to Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois. 

1. Arriving first we have Emperor David and Empress Katalina of Pierreland, joined by Edmund, the Duke of Bordeaux. This is the first visit that the Duke has made to Pierreland, although the Emperor and Empress have visited once before, for the coronation of King Richard. @officalroyalsofpierreland 

2. They were followed by another bride and groom-to-be, Princess Madeline and Prince Louis. The couple looked absolutely radiant as the entered the cathedral in their matching pink ensemble. This is the first visit of Prince Louis to Carrington, and the second visit of Princess Madeline, who attended the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Asbury. @thealbionroyals

3. Not far behind them came expectant parents, King Elliot and Queen Amelia of Arendelle. The regal pair wore a green ensemble for their first visit to Carrington as they waved to the gathered crowds. @arendelleroyals1​ 

4. Following right behind, was Lady Everly, newly named Countess of Salzzell. This the first visit of the Countess to Carrington, but she wowed the crowds with her stunning floral red ensemble as she entered the cathedral. @trentonsimblr 

Stay tuned for the rest of the foreign guests arrivals!

Official Wedding Photos Released!

Just minutes ago, Weckheim Palace shared the official wedding portraits from yesterday’s ceremony. 

The newlyweds are pictured with the young members of their bridal party, as well as with their respective parents. Most surprisingly, the couple chose to forgo the typical one portrait of the newlyweds, choosing to instead release three (!!) for the special day. 

The couple are expected to be leaving for their honeymoon later today, and the photos from the reception are also expected to be shared today as well.

[royalhouseofcarrington]

They’re Married!

Just minutes ago, the country’s favorite couple emerged from the doors of Saint Victoria’s Cathedral to cheers and hoorahs from the large crowds outside, who have been eagerly awaiting this moment for a year and a half. 

The newlyweds smiled and waved to the crowds before boarding a carriage to take them back to Nimben Palace for a private reception, although the couple are rumored to make an appearance on the balcony before returning inside to take the official portraits that will be released tomorrow. 

As they rode through the streets, the excitement and love between the couple was obvious, alternating between waving to the crowds and gazing into each other’s eyes, as seen here. 

The couple are expected to make an appearance on the balcony of the palace any minute, stay tuned!

The Vows

Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois: I, Hisirdoux Michael Caspersen, take you, Anastasia Marie Elizabeth, to be my lawfully wedded wife. To love and to cherish, to care for and to comfort, through sickness and health, through poverty and wealth. Through the darkest storms and the brightest days. I vow to stand by your side for the rest of my life and to never stop loving you. 

Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester: I, Anastasia Marie Elizabeth, take you, Hisirdoux Michael Caspersen, to be my lawfully wedded husband. To love and to cherish, to care and to comfort, through sickness and health, through poverty and wealth. Through the darkest of storms and the brightest of days. I vow to stand by your side every day for the rest of my life and to never stop loving you.

The Stage is Set!

Today’s the day! 

Later today, at approximately noon, Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester will exchange her wedding vows with her longtime boyfriend/fiancé, Hisirdoux Caspersen, the newly minted Duke of Clois. 

The couple will exchange their wedding vows in the historic and beautiful Saint Victoria’s Cathedral, just outside of Nimben. Cameras are already being set up to capture the arrivals of not only the royal family, but also foreign guests, dignitaries and close personal friends. It will all lead up to the arrival of the groom, travelling from the Old Viceroy Hotel with his best man, Cody Elliot, followed not long after by the bride, Crown Princess Anastasia, arriving to walk down the aisle with her father, King Richard. 

Stay tuned for all the royal wedding coverage!

The Bride Arrives! 

The moment that we’ve all been waiting for is here! 

Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester (and soon-to-be Duchess of Clois) has officially arrived at the front doors of Saint Victoria’s, joined by her father, King Richard. 

It appears that for her big day, the Crown Princess chose the Bilchester Rose bandeau, despite whispers that she might wear the Queen Emmeline Tiara. She also wore a necklace that belonged to her late grandmother, Queen Eliza, as well as earrings that were gifted to her by Queen Elissa. 

Her dress was designed by the incredibly talented designer Marielle Doyles-Agreste, a close friend of the Crown Princess, who is also in attendance at the wedding while her veil was designed to mimic the veils of her mother, the Queen, her grandmother, Queen Eliza, as well as her aunt, the Duchess of Asbury, who all wore the same veil on their wedding days before it was retired before the wedding of the Dowager Duchess. 

Now that the bride has arrived, the ceremony will be starting any minute!

The Royal Family Continues to Arrive

The royal family continues to arrive for the wedding of Crown Princess Anastasia and Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois. 

The first to arrive from the heir’s immediate family was her younger brother, Prince Michael, escorting his longtime girlfriend, Thalia Fae Melbourne, the eldest daughter of Princess Victoria and Tyson, the Duke of Melbourne. This is the first time that Thalia has been photographed attending a close family event alongside Prince Michael, which appears to suggest that this royal romance is becoming quite serious... @thealbionroyals 

Not far behind his big brother, came Prince Charles. The King and Queen’s second son walked into the cathedral solo, thus throwing away speculation that he would be joining his mother, Queen Elissa for the drive and arrival at the cathedral. The young prince, who bares a STRIKING resemblance to his father, was seen pausing within the doors, possibly to await for his mother’s arrival. 

Stay tuned for the arrival of the Queen, bridal party and the bride and groom! 

[royalhouseofcarrington]

The Bridal Party Arrives!

Just ahead of the car carrying the bride and her father came the Maid of Honor, joined by the bridesmaids and pageboys for the wedding. The couple primarily chose younger members of the Crown Princess’s family, with Hisirdoux’s goddaughter, Gabriella, filling one of the roles of the bridal party. 

Other members of the bridal party include the Princes Robert and Benjamin, Princess Alice, Lady Beatrice and Lord Anton Asbury and Lady Alexandra Carlisle. 

Princess Sophie, meanwhile, filled the role of her sister’s maid of honor, dazzling the crowds in her gorgeous green dress. The sisters are reportedly very close to each other and text often. Sophie has reportedly even said that ‘Ana always said that I’d be the Maid of Honor when she got married, so she has no choice but to be the Maid of Honor when I get married!’

Speaking of the Crown Princess, she and her father will be arriving any minute, don’t go anywhere! 

[royalhouseofcarrington]

The Groom Arrives!

Hisirdoux Caspersen, the Duke of Clois, has arrived at St. Victoria’s! The groom was joined by his best man and longtime friend, Cody Elliot, as he arrived, happily (and nervously) waving the crowds. 

The groom wore a simple navy uniform, decorated with medals that signify his rank as a Lieutenant in the Carrington Royal Navy, his new position as a Royal Duke within the Carrington nobility and the badge that marks him as a member of the Royal Family. The blue sash that the medals sit upon also recognizes his role as a Senior Royal of the family, but hopefully those three will be joined by more in the future. 

Upon saying his ‘I do’s’ to the Crown Princess, Hisirdoux will then become His Royal Highness, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois and officially join the royal family. 

The rest of the bridal party will be arriving any minute!  

[royalhouseofcarrington]

The Queen Arrives!

Her Majesty, Queen Elissa, has officially arrived for the wedding of her eldest child (and daughter), Crown Princess Anastasia. 

The Queen chose a beautiful soft pink outfit for the occasion, combined with a matching hat, as well as her stunning diamond engagement ring given to her by the King close to 26 years ago. 

Her Majesty is said to be close to all of her children, according to multiple sources, and that she ‘welcomed Hisirdoux into her family with warm arms.’ 

The bridal party and the groom will be arriving any minute, with the Crown Princess not far behind!

The Royal Family Begins to Arrive! 

The royal family is beginning to arrive for the wedding of Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester to her longtime fiancé, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois. 

1. First to arrive came the Duke and Duchess of Asbury, followed by their son, Elias. The youngest sister of King Richard and her family were dressed head to toe in blue, their signature color. The couple’s eldest daughter, Lady Beatrice and their youngest son, Lord Anton, are also serving in the bridal party.

2. Shortly behind his aunt and uncle was Thomas, the Viscount Binoir and Paige, the Viscountess Binoir. The couple arrived sans their daughter, Marie, who is also the Crown Princess’s goddaughter. While it remains unconfirmed, the Duke of Clois is also said to have have attended the couple’s wedding 2 years ago. 

3. Behind her big brother was Lady Gianna Angers, with Gabriel, the Viscount de Vanily. While the couple have only been dating for 7 months, friends close to the couple describe them as ‘inseparable’ and that marriage is not far ahead for them. 

4. However, the exact opposite could be said for Lord Chandler Angers, the eldest of the late Princess Isabel’s twin boys. Despite being linked to several different women during the time of his cousin’s engagement, the 11th in line to the throne arrived solo, but it did not seem to bother him in the slightest. 

5. Not long after his twin, came the crowd’s favorite of the day, Lord Nicodemo Angers, hand in hand with his longtime boyfriend of more than 6 years, Will Samson. The couple smiled at the cameras and waved to the crowds, leaving many to wonder if the late Princess’s youngest child will be the next to tie the knot. 

6. Finally, reportedly after a few traffic delays, the Dowager Duchess of Carlisle, Princess Katherine, and her two children, Diane, the Duchess of Carlisle and Lord Sebastian Carlisle. This is the first public appearance of the Dowager Duchess since the funeral of her mother, Queen Eliza, a little over a year ago. The Dowager’s youngest child, Lady Alexandra, is also serving in the bridal party.  

The rest of the royal family is set to arrive any minute with the bridal party not far behind!

The Family of the Groom Begins to Arrive! 

The family of the groom is beginning to arrive at Saint Victoria’s Cathedral! 

First to arrive were the mothers’ of the groom, Olivia and Liliana Caspersen, complimenting each other in shades of green, happily chatting with each other as they arrived for their only child’s wedding. The pair are said to be quite close to the Queen and Crown Princess, even recently joining the Queen for a private luncheon at the palace. 

They were followed by Liliana’s father, Martin Casper, the groom’s grandfather and only living grandparent. According to the Duke of Clois, the engagement ring that he gave to the Crown Princess contains the stone that Martin gave to his late wife, Victoria, when they got married. 

Following behind the rest of her family, came Morgan Casper, the Duke’s cousin who he is said to be close to, given their close ages. 

The royal family will be arriving any minute!
