Zuri and Castriel have been together since they were teenagers. They went to prom together, kissed their first kiss together, and went to college together. It's like a teenagers dream of the perfect love.

Zuri and Castriel as teenagers hanging out

They moved together after Zuri grew up, Castriel had already gone to university for one semester. After moving in, they continued university together and finished it. Castriel majored in business and Zuri in Science and Medicine.

Just studying, what can be sexier than that?

After finishing University, they just concentrated on working and getting fortune in to their household.
They had in mind to live in their current home until they have enough money to build a new, bigger home to their future family and give the old house to their siblings to start their adulthood in a familiar, family house.
The same idea Valentina's and Seraphina's house was made for first, but things change.

While most of their days for a long period of time was spend in the workplace, they released their stress by drinking and smoking.
Zuri was a active smoker. Her day always started with a nice morning smoke before leaving to work.

Castriel was more into drinking. Instead of starting his morning by a nice nicotine stick, he was taking a lil' sip from the bottle.
You could say their lifestyle was work hard play hard. Days at work and night at the bar. But that's just living your best life in your 20's!

Zuri was in the town and decided to try her luck in the lottery and the luck was on her side! She got that good money, 100 000 simoleons! 

To get enough money to their name, they invested the extra money to real estate. And it paid off by collecting 150 000 simoleons from the estates. They decided to sell all their estate away as they now had enough money for their life plans.

It's her big sister, Valentina!

They look somehow the same, which is interesting to me + the blue haired girls in the family

Zuri and Castriel went to see Zuri's parents and while they were there, Castriel asked Zuri's dad Ezekiel the hand of his daughter...

So he's had the permission to join the Strawberry family and is getting married into a wealthy one with a political background in the city.
Marrying the 2nd generation Strawberry. But what will happen to the surnames?
Will Castriel take the Strawberry as his surname or is he rebelling and making his own family name to the family and make his family's s name to the public knowledge of the towns elites? 

As they head back home, and the promise he has made to his father-in-law in his head, he can finally engage to Zuri, to the love of his life.
Even thought there is family politics and benefits in marrying the Strawberries, his feelings are real. He didn't care who his girlfriend was, he didn't even know it. He has seen the family rise up to the elites. 

So Castriel popped the question. 'Will you marry me Zuri?', 'Yes!'
And now the two of them are engaged to each other, finally.

Because of the engagement, Zuri had a wish to travel China to celebrate. Castriel arranged the trip and they headed off to other lands.
They spend time in the tombs searching for treasures and eating different kinds of food when they had the time from the tombs.
On their last night in China they finally had ended their quest for treasures and just spend a relaxing night in the resort.

As the beautiful starry night was relaxing our couple, Castriel took Zuri to the top of the building to look at the sky and asked Zuri to marry him right there right now.

And now they are married! Welcome 2nd generation Sweetie family, the first Strawberry and Sweetie household merge. Let the future be bright for them.

After coming home, their house had been rebuild.

One bedroom, baby room, bathroom and a hobby room

After the first night in the new house, Zuri woke up in the middle of the night to find out that she got pregnant while being in China. 

Zuri's baby bump

So now a baby in the way, the household is getting ready for a new adventure in their life. For Zuri it meant having a break from the smokes while she is pregnant. Castriel cut off alcohol completely. The whole house had a different atmosphere after the marriage and the pregnancy.
The whole house felt like it was singing.

Castriel's and Zuri's love is blossoming

And for the family, the pregnancy meant a new baby was coming from another child. Octavius has been building his own family for a long time and the grandparents have been waiting to see other grandchildren to come from the other siblings.

Seraphina recently had her first child and she was the second child to add a new addition to the family and now Zuri is running for the 3rd place.
Her and Seraphina's child is going to grow up together and it's going to bring up the two sisters closer to each other.

And because of Seraphina's new motherhood, Zuri wanted to see her sister and talk about her pregnancy with her to share experience and knowledge. But sadly she missed her but she was happy to talk with her new husband, Cosmo Star.

While getting to know to each other, Zuri felt a sudden pain in he stomach. People around her had panicked expression on their face.

"What?"

"Oh shit it's coming!"

Zuri was in labour, in her sisters house, not far but not close to home in this situation. But that didn't stop her as she didn't want to have her baby there and she went for it and started to walk home.

Neighbourhood kids ran past her and they stopped to panic as they realized what was going on. Her whole way home felt like she was a exhibition in a circus. A walking show.

She survived home but it didn't take long before she was already pushing the baby out.

We welcome a new addition to the family, a boy named Eryx!

Seraphina Strawberry & Cosmo Star #1

Seraphina lives now on her own as Valentina decided to move out. It was time that the two sisters separate from each other and build their own path. They were soon to grow up into adults.

But Seraphina was not alone for long as Cosmo Star moved in in return to fill the void in her home. They were acquaintances with each other, and both of them tried to get to know each other better but they really didn't have the time in their day to stop and chat.

Seraphina was mostly working, keeping the house clean and making the food for the household. She was used to keeping the household together while living with her lazy sister. She didn't mind really, it was something she likes to do for people around her.

Seraphina wanted  to go to France but didn't really have the time to do it because of her work. Cosmo saw his opporturnity to get closer to Seraphina and fulfilled her wish and surprised her by taking her to France.

Cosmos's wish didn't really come true as they didn't really see each other at all while on the trip. Cosmo was available to hang out and were looking into the city, but Seraphina, who needed the vacation to relax, she was pushing herself in the tombs for 3 days straight.
Call that a "relaxing" vacation.

After coming back to home, Cosmo pushed himself on Seraphina and made her to finally hang out with him. And for them it was a good outcome, as they found each other to be a good match for each other. So they started dating.

Watching the starts together

Seraphina dreaming about Cosmo

Seraphina has never been with anyone else, Cosmo was her first boyfriend.
And in their first night together, Seraphina got pregnant!

As they realized what had happened, they made decisions fast and held the wedding the next day. They wanted to keep the pregnancy as a secret as she knew that it would would look bad to her parents that she got knocked up before getting married. She was, indeed, the perfect picture to her family. As the baby bump wasn't still showing, the wedding went well.
Seraphina took Cosmo's last name, Seraphina Star.

Seraphina's pregnancy went very well, she looked like she was enjoying her time waiting for the little one to arrive. For the time she was pregnant, she slept in the rocking chair that was in the baby's room, instead of the bed.

And then the day came, and the family rushed to the hospital. She came out from the hospital with this beautiful white dress, she looked like an angel.
She gave birth to a baby boy named Daimos. The name was inspired by Cosmo's name.

Uri & Ezekiel Strawberry Household #1

Uri & Ezekiel Strawberry Household

Life in this house is pretty calm as the elders of the house are taking care of their youngest child.
Marquis is having a different kind of experience than his other siblings, as they all grew up together, bonding with each other through their childhood.
Uri and Ezekiel have tried to build up some kind of relationship and closeness with the other siblings that hasn't lived with him, like Zuri and Lukariah did for a while, through various parties and meetings with the family.
Instead of sisters and brothers, he's been hanging out with the family pets, 2 cats Bodica and Pixie.

Whole squad is in for the meal

As the household has adopted animals from the shelters before, Uri decided to surprise Ezekiel with a dog for a change! She found a perfect dog to fit to this family, Mateo! 
This would be Ezekiel's new project and love to do as he is now retired and he really loved working and spending time with family. And now that the final child is growing up in a good phase, there is not much 'use' for him in anywhere. And as Marquis flies away home someday, their house is now full of hairy children aka pets. 

New addition to family

Ezekiel taking his new dog for a walk

No one is sure how anything is going out to be in life but there has been discussion about Marquis inheriting everything that will be left after separating the family money.
If Uri and Ezekiel pass away soon after Marquis grows up to an young adult, he is not going to have the same kind of freedom as his other family members. He'd have a house full of animals and a very big empty house with a cemetery on the backyard now on his hands.

Marquis' birthday was coming up and the family has a birthday party for him. The house would be full of people, familiar faces that we have seen, all gathered together to celebrate their little brother.

We can almost see everyone

Zuri, did you see something unpleasant?

Jaqueline, Octavius' wife.
I really like this picture!

Celebration time!

Lukariah's face peeping from behind and he is clearly enjoying. What is he thinking about Octavius?

Marquis as a child

The family had 150,000 in funds but as the family owns real estate, Ezekiel went and checked it and he collected a very generous sum of money...

281,000 simoleons more now making it to be over 400,000 simoleons!

So now he is probably the richest sim on earth and his family tree doesn't have to work for a long time after he is dead and the money has been given forward to children and grandchildren.
