Wealth! Romance! Rejection! Fecundity! All that and more on today's episode of... Keeping Up With The Dunkels!!!

Subtitle: Dunkles By The Dozen

Now that Adam was an adult, he was seeking the Lord's will in finding a godly young lady to pursue for the purpose of marriage. Unfortunately so far he wasn't having much luck. Not sure what's turning these women off - couldn't possibly be the idea of giving up all semblance of independence and critical thinking to become a robotic broodmare, could it?

I have to admit, it took me a moment to figure out who this was. But, uh, yeah. It's Abel! He became a teen!

Meanwhile, rebellious Abigail turned 18 and fell into a deep depression. Other girls her age were leaving for college, and here she was, stuck in this crazy house, changing diapers, cooking meals, trying to homeschool a herd of unruly children, and hating life!

Abigail clearly needed professional help, but all her parents could prescribe was MORE JESUS.

She thought that maybe if she could meet the right man, she could get out of the Dunkel house. After all, she had been brought up to think a girl's only way out of the family home was through marriage. Unfortunately Abigail wasn't having anymore luck in the romance department than her older brother Adam...

Er... Abigail? You okay? Actually, Abigail was a little too okay. She knew a girl through church who offered to sell her some black market anti-anxiety meds. She was still mostly miserable, but now she was mostly too calm to care.

(Sorry, this got kind of dark really fast, lol.)

Amazing news for the Dunkels! Wilbur's father died! Uhh, wait, no, that didn't come out right. Wilbur's father went to be with the Lord, and as Wilbur was his only child (gasp!) he left his entire estate to him. The Dunkels now had enough money to properly furnish their house and live comfortably for the first time since Cathy and Wilbur married!

 

(Okay, so here's what happened: for some reason, I have no idea why - keeping track of a dozen different people is a bit distracting - this genie appeared and granted the Dunkels three wishes. Abigail wished for 'peace of mind' because she was basically in aspiration failure, and now she's in platinum aspiration, probably permanently, I'm not sure. Adam wished for 'wealth' twice, and several large bags of money dropped out of the sky. Woohoo!)

Wait... could Abigail finally be hitting it off with a man?!

 

snapshot_66c55376_c6cb2ea3.jpg.8599ac37cb76f7f01a2f1da41205297c.jpg

False alarm.

 

snapshot_66c55376_c6cb34fe.jpg.6544d77069dea19fd4b0d9c3de6f82c6.jpgsnapshot_66c55376_86cb3501.jpg.b88ffa1571a4612cd623b649be44e4d4.jpgsnapshot_66c55376_c6cbff2d.jpg.ee0c452303ff5eedc2c89b26134f93a3.jpg

Here's the latest house reno, thanks to Wilbur's deceased father! As you can see, the Dunkels also finally purchased a computer. Perhaps Cathy or some of the girls could break onto the blogging scene! Of course, the computer was placed right in the main living space, to prevent shenanigans.

Omigosh! BFFs forever!! The Dunkel girls made a new friend! Her name is Cara Gray, she's from their church, and she dresses soooooo modestly! She also believes in courtship and waiting for marriage for her first kiss! The only thing wrong with her is her unfortunately short hair. So sad. But the Dunkel girls will encourage her to grow it out. They were already planning to pray unceasingly that the Lord might direct one of their brothers to her...

"Happy Birthday, Aliviah! You have brown hair and light blue eyes like the rest of your siblings. God bless you."

"Happy Birthday, Alizah! Etc."

On this episode of 'Everybody Hates Abigail"...

Gasp! The Dunkel sisters' prayers worked! Oft-forgotten Andrew Dunkel and Cara were totally hitting it off. "Wow! You love the Lord and have a servant's heart? That's such a weird coincidence, so do I!!" It certainly looked like a Special Friendship could be brewing!

 

snapshot_66c55376_46cc07a0.jpg.a67bdd9dbc22896f6cab9bc988cc7419.jpg

Poor Adam Dunkel couldn't help but be a little distraught, seeing his YOUNGER brother possibly entering that sweet season of life before him.

But Adam's luck was about to turn. He met Mehrissa (yes, that's her actual name) on a mission trip to witness to the lost Catholics of southern Italy. Mehrissa was there with her church group, but it turned out she lived only a few miles away from the Dunkels back in the U. S. of A. It's almost like it was meant to be!

 

snapshot_66c55376_06cc1402.jpg.42f7cc78e1d887a4f5955d00e5bab906.jpg

Adam and Mehrissa courted for two blessed months before Adam decided it was time to pop the question. With Mehrissa's younger brother chaperoning, Adam got down on one knee. "Mehrissa, you are such a diligent and godly young lady. You love the Lord and you have a servant's heart. Would you make me the most blessed man in the world by agreeing to be my helpmeet?"

 

snapshot_66c55376_a6cc1413.jpg.9fc0afddaabf87c50694573a9a859267.jpg

She said, "Yes! Totally!" <3

 

snapshot_66c55376_c6cc147b.jpg.7e1c08a4f010a32050410f0f262c1948.jpg

The Dunkels gathered to celebrate the first engagement in the family! Hmm... could a special friendship possibly be brewing between Avalee(? I think this is Avalee? I'm terrible) and Mehrissa's younger brother? Maybe! (Okay, these people don't have a TV show, or even a blog, so I'm not sure what the point of being coy is. Honestly, idk if anything's going on with these two. MAYBE!)

 

snapshot_66c55376_46cc1501.jpg.871abf916a734b280cbe9a679b5bdea0.jpg

DRAMA at the Dunkel house! It was Adam and Mehrissa's wedding day, and the ceremony was to be held in the garden. Cathy had spent the morning baking a wedding cake, and was just about to start cooking the wedding meal (that's right, no snack food reception here! Chef salad for all!) when she went into labour!!!

 

snapshot_66c55376_06cc157d.jpg.5262c3425e8f354c1b1c4ff060ea4e1d.jpg

Only a beautiful BABY could make such a blessed day as Cathy's first born's wedding day an EVEN MORE blessed event! This baby's name is Aaron. I will try to remember.

 

snapshot_66c55376_66cc158a.jpg.73c0f2e4e0e639544f2c42db9ced4b81.jpg

There was absolute pandemonium in the kitchen as family and wedding guests rushed in to see the precious new addition, and Cathy tried to deliver the placenta. 

 

snapshot_66c55376_86cc15f7.jpg.211ce86f33b9edad8e530c99f275bcff.jpg

But everything was sorted out, and the ceremony went off without a hitch! Well, aside from the bride's extremely questionable attire, but to be fair, she had just had an intense shock, watching her mother-in-law give birth next to her wedding cake. (I should've moved her in and changed her wardrobe before making them get married, aha.) Adam was thrilled and relieved to have found a wife. Mehrissa was thrilled to have married into a family with money. Hmmm....

 

snapshot_66c55376_e6cc1618.jpg.cce80372ac0e02ecadc96cd800938cd0.jpg

The guests applauded in joy as Adam and Mehrissa exchanged rings. And then...

 

snapshot_66c55376_66cc1632.jpg.7b41a493baabf8fde5c11c7e48b6bebd.jpg

THE FIRST KISS!!! (I'm sorry, I'm still cracking up at her dress. The side cut-outs! NIKE!!!!!)

 

snapshot_66c55376_46cc1708.jpg.9aafa0ad3660d048be550402c4554f12.jpg

Not to worry. As soon as the ceremony was over, the Dunkel sisters rushed to Mehrissa's rescue and gave her a proper modern modest makeover. What a relief!

 

Next time on Keeping Up With The Dunkels: Adam and Mehrissa's honeymoon! Will married life be 'awesome', 'amazing', or both?! Where will the happy couple make their new home, and how long before they have a happy announcement? Will Andrew and Cara start courting? Will Avalee(?) become 'special friends' with Mehrissa's little bro? Will Cathy and Wilbur be satisfied with 12 children, or will they manage to squeeze out one or two more? Will Abigail find her way? #SoBlessed!

This is hysterical!

Genie thingie: matchmaker may bring the lamp, if someone in household has high aspiration and... idk, there was another requirement. Abigail is in platinum mode for life, and wish for money increases a possibility for burglary for next few days. So Dunkels should be careful. 

And I'm so rooting for Abigail to leave. :pb_lol:

@AlwaysExcited Oh my word. Thank you for the tips. :pb_lol: I'm sure I used to know about the genie thing, but it's been a loooong time since I played this much. Luckily the Dunkels have a burglar alarm! I remembered enough of the game to invest in one right off the bat, before they ever had windows, haha.

I dug out my password to my origin account and reinstalled sims 3 and 4. I blame both you and @AlwaysExcited

I don't know how to do screenshots though. My sim is a girl called "basic bitch" and she tried to try for a baby in the shower with her best friend who is a celebrity and he ran off telling her she had some issues. I'm not entirely sure what happened. She's also an architect who works from home doing terrible remodels on her friends bathrooms. Her outfit is amazing fundie chic and she lives in a shack.

@singsingsing Hey, I'm a bit obsessed with this game. But I always forget about burglar alarms... Probably because I usually kinda hope one will show up. I like drama in my sims' lives.

@Maggie Mae Wanna start a blog? ;)

      Not a fundie- but the other day a Michigan state rep tweeted a picture of a couple buses leaving the Detroit airport, wondering where the “illegal invaders” were being bussed to.

      The “illegal invaders” were the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, who had just arrived in Detroit for their regional semifinal matchup.

      Dude gets exposed and his response is basically, “STFU you communist.”

      He’s also an election denier who has predicted another civil war.

      Erica has two associations for me. One is Erika Shupe, and the other is that it was the name of the “Brown Owl” of my Brownie Guides group when I joined. Brown Owl is the traditional name given to the main leader of a Brownie unit here in the UK. I remember she always had her hair in a single long plait down her back.

      We use Brown Owl for the main leader in Canada too and Tawny Owl for second in command. 

      I am a Brown Owl! In Ireland, but was also a Tawny Owl in the UK. I love being Brown Owl and the whole story that goes with it.

      i think she announced it’d be Amaree,

      My guess was Arrow Canaan on the Baby Names Thread. Her boy names follow an ACC pattern & don't have cutesy spellings. Since there's not much with the aforementioned pattern, that's what lead me to my guess.

      I don’t think she announced it on her social media yet. I think she might’ve let it slip when ordering something with the baby’s name on it.

      Gotcha.  I don’t follow her but see reddit posts about her and couldn’t remember where I saw the name.

      If it is Amaree, it’s the first “non-noun as a name” name for awhile, right,  I can’t remember them all—anchor, armor, anthym, aynjel, are the four I remember that are other words.  Then andre, arissa (is is anissa?), anniston (i will never be convinced it’s not after jennifer anniston).  So I’m missing 3.   

      Anyway, lucky kid gets a normal name if it’s amaree
