If you've made it this far, give a shout!
That face.
Rory reads to Freya.
Edison relaxing in the kiddie pool.
Buzz scans me.
MONCH.
Buzz requires a lot of maintenance.
Mentoring Astrid. She's determined to lose that weight!
I did something I hardly ever do (since I am a master chef) and ordered a pizza.
Jett: "I can't believe I get to marry you tomorrow."
Me: "I can't believe I'm getting married at all."
Edison's been working out a lot.
Astrid does an evil laugh as Otto is in misery.
Even Buzz works out. Not sure what it does for him though.
He's quite proud of his new muscular physique.
It's the morning of the wedding and the family sits down for breakfast (sorbet in Rory's case): Rory, Otto, Buzz, Astrid and Jett.
Buzz flirts with the computer.
Jett even finds time to help Otto with his homework, but they're both sick! A few of us in the house were, in fact.
Jett ordered some medicine and soon everyone was well enough for the wedding.
Our gorgeous wedding venue, a barn in Brindleton Bay.
Perfect for the intimate wedding we planned.
The barn.
Otto (Baby 99), Astrid (Baby 98) and Edison (Baby 97).
Cutie Freya (with Buzz, whose main role was looking after her).
Baby 91 Jesse is here, but he is cross-eyed!
Rory (Baby 96) and Willow (Baby 95).
Baby 92 Layne shows up.
My granddaughter Carrie (vampire daughter of Baby 68 Nathan) looks at her uncle Jesse evilly.
Vampire granddaughter Edwina (daughter of Baby 80 Billie).
Buzz and Freya napping in the barn.
There's the groom! Doesn't he look handsome?
The wedding is underway!
Absolutely smitten.
Jett kisses my hands.
He places the ring on my finger.
We are now married!
Jett cheers as I cut the cake.
Feeding each other.
Jesse and Astrid chat in the pond.
Can't take our eyes off each other, even when stuffing our faces with cake.
Chatting.
Rory looks like he has something to say...
Some guests congregate in the barn.
Being sweet with each other.
Grandson German is here. He is one of Baby 94 Sadie's triplets. Sadie herself did not show up however! She was my only living child not to show up, which was sad.
Her twin Mardi is here though!
I knew he had been practicing, so I challenged my new husband to a dance-off.
I threw down some sick moves. I have mastered the Dancing skill, after all.
Go honey!
Oops, he threw his back out.
Some strange pairings in the barn.
Freya doesn't look so sure of her niece Maia, daughter of Baby 90 Eli.
Meanwhile Caleb Vatore and German have what looks like a tense conversation.
Jesse throwing down some moves.
Husband and wife.
Our mixologist absconded so I was left to mix drinks. Fun fact: Mixology is one of the few skills I haven't mastered yet. In fact, Jett and I are both level 8!
Jesse and Otto.
A drink for myself.
Carrie, Beckett (vampire son of Caleb and Baby 54 Maisie), Layne and Kaci (daughter of Sadie).
The entertainer didn't show up, but have no fear! The maestro is here.
I even played without looking - I was gazing adoringly at my new husband instead.
The look of adoration.
And then Jett gave a speech.
"Everyone is here because of this extremely fecund beauty."
Me: "Hey, you can't say that!"
"This lady is the most incredible person I have ever met. Not only did she give birth to ONE HUNDRED babies and raise them all on her own, but she is highly skilled and accomplished. I was fortunate enough to first meet her in my hometown of Selvadorada. She only had 63 children at the time, so we've known each other for a long long time. We were casual friends, we'd see each other around. Then eventually I donated to her cause. We had twin boys, Wynn and Floyd. They were Arden's 75th and 76th children, but I didn't see them much."
"After a while I asked her on a date and the rest is history. The happiest day of my life was when I asked her to marry me and she said yes. So here's to Arden Westbrook, the most incredible woman, the love of my life, and my new wife!"
*Let's leave these two alone...*
