Once upon a time there was a 19 year old girl. She got an apartment with some of her friends. Her ex-boyfiend lived in the same complex with his new girlfriend.

One fall evening, the ex-boyfriend paid her a visit with one of his friends (who also lived in the complex). The friend was instantly smitten with her because of the size of her bong and the quality of what went in it. He informed her that if she ever needed anything else to put in it, she could come by his place any time to pick it up.

So, a few days went by and she paid him a visit. He had a pretty cool pad... and there were always people hanging out (go figure). She got her bag and hung out for a while to chat with this cute fella.

Within two weeks she and this fella were thinking about running off to Vegas to get married, but decided against it because their families would probably freak out.

About a month after that they decided to get an apartment together. They knew they were meant to be together forever because of the instant strength of their feelings for each other.

Two months after moving in together they conceived their first child. They had a second child 16 months later.

People really started preassuring them to get married because they had kids... so, just to be annoying they waited 4 years after the second child was born to get married. It was a beautiful ceremony in Hawaii. Very simple with only his mom, her dad and their children present.

Today this couple has been together for 9 years and are still very much in love

I always say, "when/if I get married" I want it to be small and intimate on the beach...

That's basically what you did!

We lived in Honolulu for a year. It was awesome! I loved it. It was very expensive... but worth every cent!

I don't get it. I can link to them, and you can view them that way... right? You can view them, right?

My oldest sits on my lap here at the desk sometimes while I read/post. She knows your name. She remembers cuz I called you Pixie-Pooh-Pooh and she thought that was really funny.

When I'm scrolling down she always tells me to stop at your name so she can read your post. Naturally, knowing you... I have to give it a quick skim, you know , to make sure it's clean
