Max Villareal and Lilith Pleasant

(Year 231 Fall) This is no longer hot news, but not everyone picked up the fact that Max and Lilith got married. They met while Lilith was still renting a house in Britechester, together with her sister Angela. Back then Max was in trouble as he took the job as a Butler at the Von Windenburg Estate, despite being too young and falsly claiming relevant education.

Max Villareal (31) is the current head of House of Villareal, that was established by Max' father, the late Jacques Villareal. Lilith Pleasant (41) already had a daughter, Linda-Sue (4), with George Cahill from Strangerville, a relation that was said to last for one night only.

Chateau Cavalier: It's a great Day for a Wedding!

(Year 229) The couple has been waiting for years - and finally they were allowed to elope! Duke Charlopold got his Lady Luna, and Lady Luna got her Duke Charlopold. Although the event was downscaled a bit due to the groom's father deceasing this Spring, the event that took place in the chateau gardens was not that bad. It looked like the bride and the groom's mother, Old-Duchess Claudine, were both satisfied.

Their full civil names are Charlopold Demitris de Cavalier and Luna V. Heimlich. They met at University some years ago, but their relation was not approved by the Old-Duke until last year, when Luna got her Lady style. It was discovered that she is the daughter of Duke Merlin von Windenburg, and not the criminal Jacques Villareal, like everyone thought.

This was my very first wedding more or less with the use of the My Wedding Stories GP features. Some fun, and some frustration...

Brindleton Wedding in the Planning

(Year 229) It's not been the ideal start for the engaged couple, Duke Charlopold de Cavalier and Lady Luna V. Heimlich. 6 months ago they got engaged and a huge celebration was planned for their wedding to take place this Summer. It is a bit short notice to most noble houses, as this group is rather busy and need to plan big events like attending a wedding at least one year ahead. Traveling combined with a couple days with events, and minimum the ceremony and a gala, involves not only planning what clothes top wear, but also regalia and what jewels to bring. With a better notice there would be time to repair an old tiara, but okay - it will of course be possible to go for a 2nd best choice if needed. Squeezing in a 3 days visit to another region will need either planning or good luck, though.

The Duke de Cavalier's office.

Duke Charlopold knows all these things, but the couple has waited years to get engaged, thanks to certain controversies like Lady Luna descending from criminals. Thankfully, it turned out she is instead the daughter of Duke Merlin von Windenburg, but as soon as this problem was out of the way Duke Charlopold's old father, Old-Duke Aquess, died. The upcoming groom had no choice but declaring a full season of grief at Chateau Cavalier.

House von Heimlich: Breaking News

(Year 228) Duke Merlin von Windenburg, Head of House von Heimlich, announces the incredible news that he recently met his unknown daughter! Young adult, Luna Villareal, had been suspicious to who her right father is, as her mother was first married to the Duke, then to Jacques Villareal, and Luna was born less than 9 months after the Duke's disappearance in Year 190. Her official father refused to take a DNA test, and he died 4 years ago (as featured in the As Sims Go By video series).

When Duke Merlin heard about this, he promptly offered a DNA sample, and they had a full match!

The Simmerville Show - Premiere!

(Year 228) Finally, my new TV-show is airing! It's lots of fun with a mix of guests in studio and video reports from visiting local households. Main host Fritz Mervil (CEO of Simmerville Studio, Inc.) is assisted by a Castle Reporter and Guest Caretaker.

This show is also a nifty way for me to share stories and builds from my Region 12. There's plenty of references to the past, but you won't need any knowledge to watch, neither will there be many links between the shows. Each show lasts about 12 minutes,

I hope you'll enjoy :)

Gossips: Duke Charloman secretly dating?

(Brindleton Bay, Year 226) Fresh Duke de Cavalier, Charlopold Demitris de Cavalier, is probably ready to establish his own family. His elderly parents, Old-Duke Aquess and Old-Duchess Claudine are preparing to move to a secondary home owned by the family, and Charlopold will be expected to fill Chateau Cavalier with his future offspring. 

But it's not that easy, as th Duke has been dating a commoner for some while, namely Luna Villareal from Windenburg. The two found each other as they both studied in Britechester, and rumors say the only reason they were not officially engaged is that Luna was not approved by Charlopold's parents.

Lady de Sür-Blyth engaged

Lady Elvira Leonora de Sür-Blyth (40) is not living a very public society life. Her low nobility house, Sür-Blyth Farm, focuses a lot more on raising pigs combined with agricultural science, than red carpets and diadems.

She lived alone and worked real hard, and it’s great news that she is engaged, finally!
