Raphael (RickD): Thank you, Raphael! The new RHW release is truly a godsend for folks like us, with all its new features.
djvandrake: Thanks! The residents are probably using that road because there's no complete interchange along the R-148 north of the one in the middle of the mosaic; that road is the most direct way to get from that part of the suburbs to the industrial park that's just barely visible toward the top of the mosaic.
marsh: Thank you, marsh! I'm glad you liked both of those pictures.
Alex (KoV Liberty): Thanks, Alex! Good to see you around here again, and I'm glad you were able to get 4.0 working for you. It's incredible, as I'm sure you've already discovered.




Not long after my big proposal to Jane, some of my office buddies took it upon themselves to toast me after work.


We went to one of the more upscale bars in downtown Nyhaven. It was a great night, and I was so honored to have my friends congratulate me like this.


It wasn't long before Jane and I started looking at places to hold the wedding, which we had set for sometime in May 1975. First, we looked at a local church in Midtown, not far from our respective apartments. We both agreed that there were better venues out there, so we moved on.


Next, we looked at a large church near where I grew up, and where my parents still had connections with the staff. It was a lovely place, but there were no hotels or other places nearby where we could have the reception, so we had to keep looking elsewhere.


Finally, we came to one of the oldest churches in Nyhaven, located downtown. Not only was it a beautiful and picturesque place for the ceremony, it was also close to downtown's many hotels. We knew we had found the best location, so we went ahead and booked it.


Now it was time to find a place to hold the reception. It wasn't too hard to do, since we were already downtown. We ended up choosing one of the conference rooms at the Waldorf Nyhaven Hotel, one of the older and nicer hotels in the city.


As the big day drew closer, we started getting the details ready. First, we bought the invitations at a nice stationery shop near Ridgeland Park.


A bit later, I found a tuxedo to buy at a shop near my apartment. It wasn't cheap, but it was definitely worth the cost.


Meanwhile, Jane went to a department store in Midtown to buy her wedding dress. I didn't see it until the wedding, of course, but I had heard good things about it from our mutual friends.


Finally, on May 16, 1975 the time had almost come. It was the eve of the wedding day, and so my friends once again took it upon themselves to treat me to a bachelor party in Theaterland.


The next day, I showed up at the church downtown and got ready for the ceremony. As it started, when Jane came down the aisle, I was stunned. She was beautiful, as always, but in that dress, she looked absolutely heavenly! The ceremony went on, and at the end of it all, we were pronounced husband and wife. My dreams had come true!


Soon afterwards, we led the way over to the Waldorf Nyhaven and started the reception. It was loads of fun, and we were there until after dark enjoying ourselves and receiving our guests' congratulations and well-wishes.

Very nice update! I really enjoyed it!

[KoV Liberty]

Very cool! Do you already have a place for the honeymoon? 1975 in Atrubia's Alunad Province was one of the best places to be. Lol. And very cheap air-fare. Hehe. Keep it up!

I know some of you wanted to see more of Kendall, so here's a new picture from its suburbs, which I've been working on quite a bit lately:


This is the Kendall Sports Center on Camden Island, to the west of central Kendall. This complex is home to all of Kendall's sporting venues, with a baseball park, an American football stadium, and two indoor arenas. The complex is served by the young Kendall Subway system, with direct access to and from the city center.

[marsh]

HUGE complex there. It looks great

[djvandrake]

Oh that looks really awesome!  Very nice sports complex and I really like the way you've laid out the parking areas around them.    Could I trobule you for the name of that football stadium?

[canyonjumper]

Awesome couple of updates Zack!

Sorry about the small comment, I'm pressed for time, I leave tomorrow for holidays

[KoV Liberty]

Very good! Love the complex, but that recycling center could be moved. Hehe.

Alex

[RickD]

Looks great. I like all those parking lots. I have seen similar areas in google earth.

[Battlecat]

Great stuff as always!  I quite like how that stadium complex turned out!

[daryl7478]

Nice job there Zack! I think you're ready for Simlympics there! Good job!

[cubby420]

Cool sports center. Nice combination of bats and the setting is interesting.
