Rhiannon making plans with the caterer while Nikki enjoys cake for breakfast

Finally, the day of the wedding party had arrived. Rhiannon spent most of the morning on the phone working out details. We were all very excited.

Surprise! Elopement

However, Patrick and Nikki shocked us by running off to elope. I didn’t really understand the reasoning, but later Patrick mentioned that Nikki had some commitment issues and was nervous about staging a big ceremony. Patrick feared she wouldn’t go through with it so he took her out to Simhenge and they exchanged vows alone.

Love and Cherish with no sight of parents

Forever

Rhiannon and I were very sad not to be included, but we couldn’t hold grudges. At least we had some pictures to remember their moment, even if we had to get them from the paparazzi. Since we had gone through the trouble of planning their wedding party, we went ahead with it anyway. Rather than witnessing the actual ceremony, we hosted a grand reception.

Rhiannon didn’t speak to neither Patrick nor Nikki the entire evening but did manage to be civil.

Romeo cornered by a guest

I spent much of my time talking to guests and was even cornered in my bedroom at one point by a disappointed voter.

Antonio uses the party as practice

Antonio, immune to the awkward silence from his family, decided to bring people together with his music. He considered it good practice for honing his skills.

Helena cries alone in the bathroom

Helena was handling her disappointment in her own way and spent most of the evening crying alone in a bathroom upstairs. Strangely enough, the party was a success despite the strained relationships within our family.
