Bennett and Briana were a good couple. I was sad to see them pass. Her parents, Penni and Coop had a terrible marriage. Penni was a pain in the virtual butt. Couldn't get her to do anything.
As for Bryant's beard, I've gotten used to it. Looks kind of cool now. He does have that Bohemian look. Mariana seems to like it.

But this is the 13th generation and it's the first time I've seen that happen. They've gone gray but have never grown beards. Weird.
Oh, and the other thing I have noticed is that Bryant doesn't work like he first did. When he took over the house, he worked hard on his career. I didn't marry him off until he was 35 (was hoping for that magical "perfect match") but then he had a career setback. Seems someone filed a complaint and he lost his progress on his 4th level. He lost interest in work after that. Mariana has had 4 kids and progressed farther than he has. Has anyone else seen that happen?
