01-15. Sunrise in the West
The Wild West is a gorgeous world. Here are a few views of the sunrise from the Thorns' house.
01-14. Bachelors of the Wild West.
Though Roy may be married now, there are several available bachelors in the Wild West ...not surprising, when you think about it. You know ...The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Right next to the Saloon Girls household, in the West End Boys house lives Flint Stone.
Flint's traits: Flirty, Animal Lover, Family Oriented, Bookworm, and Artistic. He's a single YA. Aries, so will get along best with Fire and Air signs. His lifetime wish is to be a Distinguished Director.
Flint is well built with striking auburn hair, green eyes and kissable lips.
_____
Then there's Elden Hick. Scorpio (Water). Animal Lover, Brave, Good, Athletic, Angler. Firefighter Superstar LTW.
Elden Hick, the fireman, lives with 5 dogs and his mother Mama Hick. Not only does he love animals, he loves his dear old mom too!
This is the Hick place ...and that is Mama Hick in the short red dress. She works at the mortuary.
Elden might not be so bad if you can get him away from Mama.
_____
Raheem Free is another bachelor. Virgo (Earth). Another Animal Lover, Perfectionist, Eco-Friendly, Born Salesman, and Ambitious. Ark Builder LTW.
Raheem Free lives in the Mineshaft Miners household. There are a bunch of unrelated sims here. Sad, really.
Here's Raheem. The little girl he's holding is not his. I checked his family tree, just to be sure.
_____
Of course, there are two other single roommates living with Flint Stone: Reverend Caldwell and Cactus Joe. Here they are slow dancing together.
_____
But who could forget Sheriff T Wharton. Single YA. Brave, Daredevil, Athletic, Ambitious, Great Kisser. And he wears a badge on his belt buckle.
Now, there are many more single men in the West, but you might not want to get too close to them!

01-13. Marriage: Day One
By the time Holly and Roy got up that first morning, Riley had gone to school. It was almost noon.
Holly: Oh, Roy! I can't believe we're married.
Roy: Yah, it's a shock, all right.
Holly: Roy!
Roy: I mean, it's so exciting and all. You know, blows my mind.
Holly: Yes!
Holly: You are glad we're married, right?
Roy: Well sure. Just a little confused about how it happened, that's all.
Roy's thinking: How the hell did I end up in this huge house, with a kid and wife depending on me? Dang! Should have seen it coming! I was doomed from the get-go!
Holly: Now, don't think too much, Roy! It's bad for your health.
Roy: Mmm. You do kiss good, Holly. Makes me dizzy.
Holly's thinking: And I'll kiss him into giving me a baby too. Roy is so easy. Testosterone and no restraints!
Roy and Holly remembered how fun the Carnival Park was on their vacation trip, so they hopped in the car and drove over. Roy took Holly on another gondola ride. No restraints.
Then Holly wanted to toast their wedding in the balloon.
Holly: Here's to us, Roy. A new life and a clean slate!
Roy: To us...and a new start!
Holly: See, Roy? Life's pretty good, huh?
Actually, in truth, Roy got sick from the champagne. It wasn't his choice of drink. The bubbly wasn't Bud.
After a bit of sightseeing from the balloon, they returned home. Roy did wonder about that last sight though. Seemed like a bad omen somehow--at least for primitive life forms and bygone days.
But Roy had to admit, he was enjoying doing chores around the homestead. Just a little.

01-12. A Fingers-Crossed Knock-on-Wood Wedding
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (ESVUK)
While Roy played in his Sunday ball game, Holly decorated the church for the wedding. (A second floor had to be completely built and furnished for the reception.)
Then Holly heard the news that Roy's team had won their game! He was on the way to the church. And guests were already arriving.
Now, Holly does have the Unlucky trait. She's naturally optimistic about life, if a little Excitable, even Dramatic. And if Great Kisses don't help, her Sense of Humor often does. But...there's that Unlucky trait. She'd been burned once for being a witch. Was she about to get burned again--this time for marrying Roy Thorn?
Moments before the wedding, Holly wondered if she was making a big mistake! After all, Roy had been married before and that had turned out badly. Poor Bonnie. Roy had really put her through some trying times.
Well, Holly had no choice about Roy. Not because she couldn't back out. She could leave anytime. No, it was because she was in love with Roy. Oh, she might kill him someday. But she would never leave him!
Then he was there. And looking every bit as nervous as she was feeling.
Roy asked Holly if she was ready for the ceremony. Well, what he actually said was, "Better get this done before one of us chickens out!"
Roy: Holly was looking a little faint!
Me: She looked rosy cheeked to me.
Roy: That's what I mean. Feverish!
Whatever Holly's health was, everyone gathered around the wedding arch...and waited. Was Roy expecting an objection from the crowd?
Roy: That's not fair! I was trying to remember my lines. I left my cheat sheet in the men's locker room at the game.
As Roy tried to recall what he was suppose to say, all the guests--and a few party crashers--waited in anticipation.
It was Holly who started the ring exchange, and then Roy came up with something nice to say.
Roy: I have a Masters in Charisma. I can be very charming!
Me: When you want to be.
With their vows said, Roy and Holly became husband and wife. Holly almost cried. She was so happy.
Roy: Holly was lovely! She melted my heart.
Holly: What a sweet thing to say, Roy!
Finally, came their first kiss as a married couple.
Roy: My favorite part!
Holly: Mine too!
Me: Oh so compatible. You two must be meant for one another.
Roy: We did it, Holly.
Holly: Yes, we certainly did! ...I got my ring.
It was time for cake. Everyone trouped upstairs, which was quite a process even with two staircases.
Roy managed to get to the cake first, so he did the honors.
Holly: Excuse me, may I get by?
This lady was a party crasher, not even invited. But she chose to eat her cake right in front of the buffet table, and Holly couldn't serve the meal. Even when the woman finished eating, she still just stood there. I finally did a resetsim on her. Go home, rude lady!
Holly asked Roy for a wedding dance. What she actually said was, "And don't do anything Inappropriate, Roy, or I'll get my wand out!"
Holly: I was afraid he'd change into his workout clothes or something.
Me: At least he didn't get a wish to brawl.
Roy: The church wouldn't let us set up a bar, so no point anyway.
They danced perfectly together, as it turned out. They didn't even step on each other's feet.
Roy: We've been practicing.
Well, you both looked very much in love.
Holly: That's because we are!
Then the guests all began to leave. The wedding was over, and everyone said the reception was legendary.
Riley had seemed a little lost at times, but he found things to do for fun too.
As they cleaned up, Roy had a serious moment of thinking. Would his second marriage be better than his first? Could he even be a decent husband? And what did that mean anyway--decent? Roy just wasn't sure.
And that was pretty much all the thoughts he came up with. He didn't have any other thoughts to think. Roy is not the deepest of thinkers.
Roy: I have other talents.
Me: So I've observed.
Roy: Wanna play River Gambler and Can-Can Dancer?
Holly: Love to! Which one will you be?
Roy: Very funny, Holly. Come here and I'll show you!
Holly: Oh! You're such an expect shuffling cards!
Roy: Wait to you see the Ace I have hidden.
Holly: (laughing) I've seen your Ace, Roy ... ante up!

01-11. Countdown to the Wedding
Two days before Roy and Holly were to be married, I told Roy to ride Traveller over to a park. I'd hoped some townies would show up, and Roy could make a friend. He did meet a couple of firemen. I introduced Roy to the first guy, Elden Hick. Things were looking good. They even shared a trait. Maybe they'd become soccer buddies.
I forgot who I was dealing with though. Roy immediately yelled at his would-be friend. Something about manure-feeding vermin, I think.
Roy: I was throwing out the challenge! Only one of us can be Alpha. ...He lost.
While Roy was destroying his chances of friendship, in rode John Wayne. Yes, that is really his name.
Roy: All an act, posing on his horse like that! Look at those pink stars on his saddle. Come on!
Well, John seemed to be a good guy. He moseyed up to Trav with a fresh carrot and a kind word.
But seeing this, Roy then started complaining about John Wayne to Elden, the other fireman.
Roy: I was trying to bond, work out the territory here. It's all about who's in and who's not. That Wayne fellow is a definite NOT!
Me: You weren't suppose to form a gang, Roy! Why can't you be like Traveller? See how well-behaved he is?
Roy: Trav was just begging for carrots, that's all.
Me: Go home, Roy. Go home right now!
Meanwhile, back at the house, Holly was finally getting to demonstrate her skills with the grill.
Then Riley invited a friend from school over, and they played in his Hooligan Hideaway tree house. And not once did I notice any Alpha dog insults going on!
Me: He's all yours, Holly. You lassoed him. Now I hope you can keep him corralled. I sure can't.
At daybreak the next morning, Riley spent time taking care of Traveller. He wondered about the wedding to come.
To keep him busy, I assigned Roy a couple of chores while Holly worked on her wedding dress. She wanted something with a western flair.
Riley went out to collect butterflies for a school project. On one trail, he discovered a whole bevy of butterflies...the two-legged kind!
Me: Don't tell your dad about this hiking path, Riley. Just keep it a secret for now.
Riley: ...
Me: Hey? Riley? Are you listening?
Riley: ...
I didn't have time after Roy's work to set up bachelor/bachelorette parties. So I just sent Holly and him to the dance club to celebrate the last night before their wedding day.
They practiced a few country style dance moves.
The Bar Hustler.
The Prairie Flower.
The Bronco Buster.
The Senorita Swing.
And The Cactus Twister.
Holly: Oh god! Tomorrow I'm marrying Roy!
Roy: Married! But...but how did this happen?!
