Ravensworth Legacy
FYI: If you're using Internet Explorer click on the first video. If you're using FireFox click on the second. The first video works in either window the second only in FireFox(which is why IE users will only see a black box with the oops message). It looks better in FireFox so I suggest you download if you don't have it! Now!!:P Also, please turn your sound up(or down depending on where you are). Enjoy!
Edited: It appears it works in either window now!
The Wedding from Phoenix on Vimeo.
And in case you were wondering what that writing was...it was their vows to each other! Here ya go!
Sorry about that little glitchy bit at the beginning of the song! I tried to get rid of it but I would have had to cut part of the video out and...I just couldn't! Let me know what you guys think!:)
I'm totally melting into a puddle of goo all over my living room floor! This was sooooo worth staying up for. The format worked perfectly too. Yaaayyyy! And the picture where they're dancing and Ty puts his head on her shoulder! Loved it!!!
hehe When Phoenix says midnight, she MEANS midnight!
LOL!! Thanks Pen! *whew* I was stressing about this because I didn't know if people were going to like it or not! Haha! I loved it personally but ya never know right? Thanks soooo much for staying up!
That's my fav pic too! Haha! I love the dancing interactions!:)
As for the header...because I was stressing over that...that's not the pic I wanted but for some reason blogger won't upload the other one! Check it on the LJ when I post! I LOVE it!
just beautiful and romantic! Every shot is gorgeous, and I love the vows you wrote for them!
Great job! What a wonderful idea to do it this way!
:) Just caught up with this now and I'm so glad I did! Kaylee and Ty are so wonderful together! And Gabe is too cute!
Awww...thanks Beth!! :D
The idea to do it this way just seemed...right! More touching and romantic than if I would have written everything out...and this way people cam imagine whatever they want!:)
Thanks honoursociety! :) I appreciate you taking the time to read!
Thanks so much for the compliment! I have to agree with you though! They are wonderful together and Gabe is adorable!:P
that was just so beautiful *tears*
i haven't seen a sim wedding like that for >_> years i believe lol it looked like a real wedding
Kaylee and Ty 4evar!
Thanks Drey! *blushes* It took me a few days to set it up and take photos...I knew I had to get it JUST right when they went into the video clip otherwise I'd miss it soo...I'm really glad you enjoyed it!:)
Absolutely stunning,
Great job and what a lovely song! lol! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! their MARRIED!!!!!!!! LOL!
Haha! Thanks Cherie! The song is by Ne-Yo. It's called Stop Stop This World. It's off his latest album! I was torn between this song and another but my sis said the other one was kinda sad sooo...and this one really does fit!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Cherie! :D And yes...
THEY'RE MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
This is such a sweet story! I have been keeping up with your story and just wanted to let you know how I have enjoyed this so far! Obviously they have had their fair share of ups and downs (and more to come I'm certain) but their love story is so enchanting! I have enjoyed this immensely and look forward to what is to come!
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it...that it keeps your interest!:)
Yes, they have and yes,there will be. I already have the next three chapters mapped out and the pictures are taken. The next chapter is half way written soo...my updates will be more regular now. Probably Tues. or Wed. since those are my days off!:) Unless, of course, I get excited and want to share sooner!:P
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it!
Awesome pictures and a song that fit perfectly if u listen closely to the lyrics. It describes them so well. And i like how Damon is staring off into space while his son gives his vows lol typical sims.
Glad to hear that updates are more regular!
Just out of curiosity what will you do when Sims 3 comes out? Will you take this story to the very end? like generation 3 :D or cut it short and start a new one with the new game?
LOL! I tried to get them all to do what I wanted with the freezer clock but...like you said...typical Sims! Fran started chasing after Gabe because he had walked away...haha! It was funny!
Yep, that's why I picked that song...I thought it was something that Ty would feel toward Kaylee...plus I love the song!:P
Yay for regular updates!! LOL! They'll probably stay that way for awhile because in Feb. I go to night shift! :D
I've already pre-ordred Sims 3 but it's not going to factor into this story! I'm taking it all the way to the end...with no Sims 3 involved!:)
Thanks for reading Sinclair! And for the questions since maybe other people were wondering the same thing!:)
I have been reading this legacy since the beginning and never commented. One of my fave songs by Ne-Yo!
Absolutely romantic and touching. I am just in tears, that's how wonderful this was. Perfect song, fabulous shots.
One of mine too Keysha! I love that entire album actually! It was this song or Part of the List which is my next fav song off of YOTG.
Thanks so much for commenting! Glad you've enjoyed reading!
Hey Gayl! We were posting at the same time!:P
Awww...wow! Thanks so much! I'm happy that you enjoyed it! I was seriously nervous about this! Haha! Don't ask my why! :S
And I'm stunned that you think my shots are good...yours are always awe inspiring!
Phoenix,
This was better than I could have ever imagined! Their wedding was beautiful. Awesome update! Next update about the honeymoon?
Its me again. Sorry! I forgot to tell you that the new banner is stunning! I love how you change it up. Okay...I'll leave now! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Stunning. Simply beautiful!
Thank you Novalee!! That means a lot to me because I know everyone had different ideas about the wedding!:)
Next update is in the bag and your spot on!:P Already written just doing the editing and it will be update next Tuesday!;)
LOL!! Thanks, I try to change it up to whatever the entry is going to be...sometimes I like the banner so much I keep it up though for awhile!:D
I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well.! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
That's what I was going for! Something simple and beautiful at the same time! Thank you so much!:) Also thanks for adding my site to your list! I really appreciate it...and like I said...in about three updates everyone will get a glimpse of your lovely house! Yay! Can't wait!
I have been reading for maybe a week now. I was too shy to comment at first. :] Your story is wonderful. It was lame because when I read the last one I almost cried at the start. I thought they would break up, but I should have known better. This is wonderful. There will be more right?
Het bonyknees(love the username!) Thanks for commenting! It's okay about being show...as long as you're enjoying the story. I'm glad you are!:)
Aww...thank you! I wanted everyone to feel like they were at the wedding too so tears are good!:P
Yep, there will be more! The next three chapters are already taken. The last two chapters I just have to add the story! No worries about me stopping anytime soon!
Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you've enjoyed the story this far!

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
LOL Ejanieey!! And thank you so much for your wonderful compliment! You should check out my side bar for some fantastic Sim 2 writers! I keep learning every day from their writing!:)
My post will be more regular from now on out so post days will be Tuesday or Wednesdays(as far as I can tell:P). So, keep you're eyes peeled!
And I'm happy your enjoying my story so far!
That was so amazing! Congratulations on a truly spectacular presentation of the wedding! And, of course, congratulations to the happy couple, too. ;-D
*blushes* Thanks Beverly! Thank you very much! And Ty and Kaylee thank you as well! ;)~
Awwww that was sooo beautiful, romantic and so sweet!!!
Finally husband and wife!!! May God bless their marriage!!!!
Awww that was soo romantic! she looked so pretty and he so handsome!!!
wonderful wonderful video!!! a perfect wedding for a perfect couple!!!
Bravo!!! Great job and Cheers!!!!!
What a great way to showcase their wedding! I sometimes leave the actual wedding out of a story because it just gets repetitive to do but this was a beautiful way to show it. (I think you've given me an idea!)
Great song choice and such a beautiful wedding.
@Sandy: Sandy I didn't even see this post!! :( I'm sorry I didn't reply back! Thank you so much! I just wanted something short and sweet. It was fun taking the pics for the wedding(after I used the freezer clock! :P)
Glad you liked it!
@Emily: Thanks Emily! I don't know when I decided to do it like that but I ended up having a few videos that I didn't use for one reason or another!:P Yeah, I know what you mean about them getting repetitive. So glad you enjoyed it though!
Haha!! Cool! Run with it!:P
I'm glad you enjoyed it Emily! Now every time I hear that song I see that video in my head!
What an enchanting beach wedding! I loved loved that at the wedding arch, it was Kaylee who dipped and kissed Ty! ha ha
The last 2 shots were extra beatiful - great angle!
Great idea about putting the wedding album into a video, and I loved that they made their own wedding vows... I just wish that maxis made it so that some sims would cry also at the wedding, to make it more realistic!
Thank you! LOL! Yeah, I decide to do a little twist there since it's Ty always being the romantic one!:P
I wish Maxis would too! Other than Sims crying because the person is GETTING married instead of with happiness! That would be so cool!
