Q. I'm probably having a summer wedding. I really love acorns and pine cones and I'd love to be able to use them in my bouquets, or in my centerpieces or favors, I'm just not sure how. Any ideas? =)
A. i have a shower game for you. Dress up the pine cone to be a bride and groom and get crafting stuff and put peeps in groups.
bouquets - acorns would be a great touch. get some wire thick enought to stay put twist it up a pen and clue the end to the acorn, stretch it out some so it dangles or just straight up wire and or fish line and have it fall beneath the flowers or what ever your using.
get one of those really big big pine cone or have someone make ahuge one and use that as your bouquet. that would be a unique idea no flowers just pine cone.
I mean a lot can be used with them

Those would be really cute - incase you don't trust links - it's a pin cone candle holder.

Why are there so much less options on Sims 3 to customize characters compared to the other games?
Q. Do you have to play the game and earn more items and/or body customization things? If you cant get more, Im seriously dissapointed in the new game
A. Let's say, for a guess, there were 50 objects in the current Sims 3 game. Then I'd say, if I go percentage-wise, that there would be 30 or 40 objects in the Sims 3 store BEFORE the game came out. A.K.A., the actual game could have had 160% or 180% of its current content, but it does not.
They decided to be really, really obnoxious, in other words. You can double the number of items you have, but you have to pay another 50 bucks. The game does come with $10 of Sim points to begin with, though I'm not sure how you access that...
However, with the Create-A-Style feature, I find the number of outfits, objects, ect. to be perfectly sufficient, thankfully. Mess around with it a bit -- you can make the same dress look wildly different.
Of course, there is sadly only one normal-wedding-appropriate dress, which you /cannot/ make look wildly different, so some of my poor lesbian Sims are sufffferriinnngg...

Are there any creative alternatives to dancing at a wedding?
Q. We are getting married in August and neither of us care to dance what so ever. Our families want us to do something but I cant think of what. Our wedding is all of 17 people so I feel I have some room to play around. Thanks!
A. You could do a lot of very innovative things such as
1) musical chairs and a prize for the winner, it is a game where people all match the first number of chairs placed in two parallel rows back to back, and the guests are made to run around the chairs until the music stops. Then each chair is reduced from each end and the person who is not seated is dumped, The music continues and stops until only one chair is left (and there should be only two people vying for it or make it three people) and the person who sits in the chair is the winner. To make it interesting to the other guests, each drop out is asked to do a performance or a small skit from the movie, or a charade or some act and at one wedding, there was a pseudo strip tease by a male guest who lost:P he did a pretty good job too:).
2) Mind games such as charades
3) Postman's knock, for each right answer, the bride has to kiss the winner.. You will get kissed on that day then:)
4) An auction for the bride's garter with bids starting anywhere, generally around USD 50. But you have to raise your wedding dress and display the garter in position before they start bidding. That is a French custom by the way:).
5) The hen song, where though it is music, you go cluck cluck with your arms, and stand on one leg, whatever the compere, master of ceremonies may think of as physical activity to music:).
6) stupid questions and idiotic answers either with made question and answer cards, or impromptu, males making the questions and females answering; and then the females making the questions. The best question and answer are given the prize.
Congratulations and I wish you a long and happy wedded life:).

My girlfriend's obsession about marriage ceremony, dresses is driving us apart. What to do?
Q. Both of us are a bit older (40s) and I think elaborate weddings are a 20s something game. It's not about the money -- I'd gladly spend a lot on a huge fun party someplace fun, like Hawaii. I am just not interested in the wedding ceremony, dresses, etc. My lack of interest makes her sad to the point of driving us apart; I try to fake enthusiasm, and that makes it worse. We're at the point where we're likely to break up over this. Why can't we just be married? Why is a ceremony so important?
A. Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars says the title of the book. And so right there. Men do not understand weddings at all.
Women dream about their weddings, they may have had help with that dream from Mom or friends.
They make scrapbooks about what they want, they love all the traditions that go with a wedding, they go to weddings to check out what others have. They buy magazines, watch TV shows about weddings. Their Barbie dolls had endless weddings.
A wedding for a woman is a shopper's dream. they shop and compare until they drop.
And I'm going to be just a little mean to men here to make my point.
Men think about sex, partying, sex, sports, sex, drinking and eating, sex, their friends, sex. Now take out the words sex and sports, substitute the word "wedding" for them, and you have how women perceive their wedding plans.
If they do not get some approximation of their life long dream, they are terribly disappointed.
Now for a fact: In that kinder gentler time of days long gone by, when a wedding was planned, the groom literally showed up in the outfit he was told to wear, with the ring he was told to buy in his pocket, and the minister's fee in the other. He did select his own groomsmen with some help, and his family did give the rehearsal dinner. And, oh yes, he also has his toast to the bride written down in his pocket. And he did pay for the bride's flowers, and the corsages for the female honored guests.
The groom had no input whatsoever in the entire wedding, he was not consulted. He did not pick the food, or the drink, or the venue, or the music, none of it. It was not his job. His job was to do as he was told and pay for the honeymoon that he may not have had input into.
He did not get to go on national TV, like those sex starved louts on those bridal dress shows and slaver all over his bride and tell the nation if her dress is not cut down to there, or up to there or see through, you won't marry her. Ick, eww, and bleh! I hope you are not that kind!
So my advice, is consider it to be 1950 all over it again.
And with a smile and a sincere heart, tell your bride that the budget is $X, and she can spend it to her hearts content. Just so there is a big huge party attached, and the food there is primo. Tell her she does not have to consult you with every thing, that you do not understand most of it anyway, and as long as this vision in white comes down the aisle and takes your hand and smiles at you, you are OK with it all.
Ask her if you can please be included in the cake tasting, but she has to have the final say with the purchase, and please can you go to the food tasting, but you don't want the final say there either.
Your bride will never forget her wedding, and the fact that you were so generous in not fighting her about it. And if you can do some research into how to be the best groom ever, even better, she will love you forever.
Really seriously, a wedding is just one evening out of your life, and a rehearsal dinner another evening, a couple of food tastings, and a bachelor party. Surely you can clear your busy schedule for those things.
Women take the wedding ceremony seriously. They want it to say what they want it to say. Either it is about her religion, or her married bliss ideas. She will live the words of the ceremony everyday of her life. Men don't think this way, to them it is a bunch of words to be endured until it is time for the party.
And brides, I have a message for you, too. Do not expect your man to understand about weddings and traditions, and colors and the like. It is nice you love him and value his opinion, but tell him some other way. Keep him updated with general statements like, honey, the flowers are all ordered! Honey, I have a dress! And involve him in the things he will enjoy. Maybe he should go talk to the beer distributor and order the kegs. Maybe he should come to the cake tasting.
good luck, hope this helped explain about women and their weddings.
By the way, Rivers wants a church wedding, she will be in white, I want white and pink flowers...LOL.
