Dwayne is Nigerian British in my story and Esmée is Moroccan French and the wedding is set in England so I wanted to try and give it a multicultural feel.

Great selection of dolls including a lot whom I don’t recognise. I enjoyed spotting Steffi Love in what was substantially a crowd of strangers.
As to the story, I think that Nenneh should dump Daniel, and that Lionel should take lessons in shutting his cake hole.

Lionel should probably not indulge in that premium malt whiskey when at a party, that’s for sure!

This is fantastic Wedding . The colors are fabulous and beautiful.
I’m loving the stories too. Monique’s father Lionel appears to be a little color-struck when it comes to his daughter. He says that Monique isn’t as pretty as her sisters and he’s looking forward to mixed race grandchildren. Kind of interesting 🤔

I hadn’t thought of it that way but I see what you mean. In a very early episode, Monique had a row with her half sisters and was introduced as the brainy one which her sisters resented. In my mind, Lionel just wants grandchildren and so he is trying to signal that he doesn’t mind if Roberta is dating a white man. I thought the implication was that he’d prefer a black man so I’ll have to make this clearer in future episodes. I had originally planned a much longer conversation but the episode was already pretty long.

Great writing can have several interpretations. That’s why the backstories are vitally important. Great read!

You’re right and I often forget that just because I remember all the back stories that doesn’t mean the readers do! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this blog since 2016! I’ve got a catch up with Monique planned now.

Wow, loved the wedding! You obviously put a lot of work dressing and styling the dolls for this. Everyone looked lovely! Lots more relationships starting and maybe ending too. I always enjoy the banter in your stories and there is always some kind of trouble brewing, lol!

Those ethnic style clothes are simply gorgeous! Did you make them, do you sell them, where can I get some for my new Looks Ken?! 😀 I randomly found your site on Google and this is the first episode I read. I love it. So much fun to see such a variety of dolls. The set up looks great and I like the way you write. Will definitely read more. Great work! I’m so impressed by those clothes…

I wish I were enough of a seamstress to make clothes like this but I bought them, mostly on Etsy, over the years. It was fun to put them all together for the wedding.
