#with Alice watching with a smile as Smiler puts the ring on Victor

And with that, it was FINALLY time for the Valice Vow Renewal, followed immediately by the Van Alton Wedding! :D :D :D With me having Smiler (for Victor and Alice) and Alice (for Victor and Smiler) take a whole bunch of in-game pictures at different sizes for them to enjoy later. :) Some of the Valice Vow Renewal shots were a little iffy -- Smiler got one shot early on where the pair looked a bit more "constipated" than "happy" -- and I wouldn't have chosen THAT shot for Alice putting the ring on Victor myself, but overall they came out well. I was especially pleased that Smiler got that shot of them kissing as the confetti came down over them. <3 The Van Alton Wedding part went a little more smoothly -- I had to reposition Alice once to stop her being completely in Victor and Smiler's personal space, and I chose not to capture Smiler putting their ring on Victor with Alice's camera so I could get my own screenshot of it instead (and stop Alice from potentially wandering off anywhere, because even turning off free will doesn't always stop that), but other than that, got some lovely shots of Victor and Smiler looking very handsome and very happy indeed in their tuxes. Including the big wedding kiss. :) Now THOSE are some pictures for their wall at home!

And then, with the two ceremonies completed, it was time for the reception! Alice set out the cake and filled up the buffet with a variety of treats for the guests to sample -- though, for some bizarre reason, she couldn't put sparkling apple juice in the punch fountain. Smiler had to do that because pouring sparkling apple juice apparently requires one to have Mixology skill 3. O.o Ooookay game. . .anyway, Victor claimed the first slice of wedding cake (without any attendant cuteness with Smiler, sadly -- I guess the game finally remembered that Smiler can't eat most human food), and Alice poured herself a glass of nectar at the bar that was promptly claimed by Rory instead. XD I mean, I'M not going to argue with the werewolf! From there, people began either settling in with food and drink or wandering around between tables to socialize (or both). Victor and Alice hung out at the "head table" for a bit, talking to Rory, while Smiler took over the bar at the back and poured some drinks for themselves and Clement Frost...
