Hey Berries!
I thought it would be fun for the creative people out there to make their own story up! [name]How[/name] did you meet your DH, where did you get married, what are your kid’s names, what kinds of pets etc…
You have total creative freedom! 
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Elena[/name] [name]Moore[/name] meets [name]Julian[/name] [name]Theo[/name] [name]Gray[/name] in 20 in 2019. They meet one day on Gonzaga University’s campus at a scuba diving class. They are partners and become close in the following months. They eventually start dating.
On [name]Christmas[/name] [name]Eve[/name] 2022, [name]Julian[/name] proposes to [name]Scarlett[/name]. He takes her on a walk in the snowy park, and kneels down while snowflakes fall from the sky. Of course she says yes! The ring is a vintage emerald-cut, with a gold band.
[name]Scarlett[/name] immediately starts planning her dream wedding. Her wedding dress is lace with a sweetheart neckline. On [name]June[/name] 30, 2024, the couple gets married in a garden surrounded by their closest friends and family members. They honeymoon on the Big Island of [name]Hawaii[/name].
[name]Julian[/name] gets a job as an architect, and [name]Scarlett[/name] has a small interior design business.
3 months after her wedding, [name]Scarlett[/name] feels nauseous and sick. She puts it off thinking it is from the stress of moving in with [name]Julian[/name], but after another week of feeling sick, she goes to the doctor. [name]Scarlett[/name] gets a shock when she finds out she is pregnant!
On February 4, 2025, [name]Rose[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is born. She has brown hair and brown eyes like her mom.
Three years later, [name]Rose[/name] became the perfect little girl. She started ballet, and did well in her first day at pre-school. [name]Scarlett[/name] is proud of her little girl, but realizes she is two weeks late. Worried, she takes a pregnancy test, and to her surprise, she is pregnant!
On [name]Julian[/name] & [name]Scarlett[/name]'s anniversery, their first little boy is born. [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Jude[/name] looks just like his daddy with light brown hair and brown eyes.
Two years later, [name]Scarlett[/name] is busy at home with [name]Max[/name], who loves getting into trouble. Meanwhile, [name]Rose[/name] is begging for a puppy. [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Julian[/name] eventually give in, and a little dachshund named [name]Magnolia[/name](or as [name]Max[/name] says “Manola”) is added to the growing family.
Two more years later, [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Julian[/name] have decided to try for a baby. They are once again blessed, this time with twins! [name]Rose[/name] couldn’t be happier to have two real babies to play with.
On [name]October[/name] 1, 2034, they [name]Gray[/name] family is introduced to their newest members-[name]Archer[/name] [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Coralie[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. [name]Both[/name] surprisingly have blonde hair from [name]Scarlett[/name]'s dad, and green eyes from [name]Julian[/name]'s mom.
Five years later, [name]Scarlett[/name] and [name]Julian[/name] have given in to so many pets, they don’t remember them all. [name]Rose[/name] got a pet bunny who she named [name]Lulu[/name], the family got another dauchshund named named [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Archer[/name] and [name]Cora[/name] went through too many beta fish to count(consisting of [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Elmo[/name], [name]Zoe[/name], Cookie Monster and [name]Grover[/name]), and [name]Max[/name] has a talking parrot named Carrot.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! My name is [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] (née Klein). My mom, [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Klein (her maiden name was Rosenbloom), is all American, and was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. My father, [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] Klein, is from Providence, RI. They found a house together and moved to [name_m]Boone[/name_m], NC. That’s where I came along! I am the firstborn of 3. My other siblings are named [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f] and [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m].
I met my husband, [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] Glassberg, when I was 17, fresh out of high school. He was a neurosurgeon. His parents were both born and raised here. We dated until I was 19, and then one day, he took me on the beach and proposed to me. This was my wedding dress: http://cdn.stylisheve.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Modest-wedding-dresses_03.jpg and this is where we had the ceremony: http://rosemarysgardenhouston.com/images/wedding_chapel_01.jpg . It wasn’t a big wedding. We just had family and a few close friends. We still had an awesome time! We honeymooned to [name_f]Tahiti[/name_f] for a week.
Six months after we got married, I started feeling queasy. I went to the doctor thinking it was a stomach virus. After some tests, they found out I was pregnant! We were so happy, and we found out that we were having a boy!! I chose his first name and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] chose his middle name. He came perfect at 37 weeks, and we named him [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m].
When [name_m]Xander[/name_m] was five months old, something tragic happened: [name_m]Peter[/name_m]'s brother, [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], passed away. The whole family was devastated. His wife, [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] [name_f]Janette[/name_f], started drinking and abusing her daughter after his death. After months of custody battles, [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I became the legal guardian of their sweet 2 year old daughter, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Charity[/name_f]. She was very quiet and sweet, and loved [name_m]Xander[/name_m] like if she was a little mommy to him.
Two years passed. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] was 4, [name_m]Xander[/name_m] was 2. I started feeling queasy…again. So I took a test and, BAM! I found out I was pregnant! Everyone was elated. It was a girl this time! We named her [name_f]Alivia[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f]. She was beautiful!!
When [name_f]Alivia[/name_f] was 2, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] was 6, and [name_m]Xander[/name_m] was 4, [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I decided to extend our family…in a slightly different way. We decided to adopt a dog! We chose a male golden retriever named [name_m]Buster[/name_m]. He was a great family pet.
After we got [name_m]Buster[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I both agreed that we needed to move to a bigger house. Here is the house we bought: http://www.atlantarealestateforum.com/wp-content/photos/2008/03/mccar-premier-calloway.jpg . All of the kids loved it because they each got their own rooms! Here is [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]'s room: http://www.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Pink-white-girls-room.jpeg . Here is [name_m]Xander[/name_m]’s room: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/52/9f/0e/529f0e2de1adf4a1db4a15dbe1288571.jpg . Here is [name_f]Alivia[/name_f]’s Room: http://decoration0.com/wp-content/uploads/decoration3371.jpg . And there was still plenty more space to grow a family!
After we got settled in, I got all the signs of pregnancy again. Not to my surprise, I was expecting again! To my surprise, I had twins! We ended up having twin boys! Everyone was overjoyed that there were not one, but two new additions! We decided to name them [name_u]Carter[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m].
A year passes after the twins were born. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I decide we are well overdue for a family vacation. The whole family goes on a trip to [name_f]France[/name_f] for 2 weeks! While in [name_f]France[/name_f], [name_f]Alivia[/name_f] became friends with a little girl who was also 3, and soon the two were inseparable. I found out the little girl was being raised by her ailing grandfather. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I decided to adopt her! Her name is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Adele[/name_f].
After we adopted [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_m]Peter[/name_m] said he felt our family was complete and he was getting the snip. I was crushed, but felt blessed that we already had 6 kids and a dog.
Life went on for the next three years. Around that time, I started gaining a lot of weight. I suddenly was hungry all the time and had severe morning sickness. I knew I couldn’t be pregnant. [name_m]Just[/name_m] for kicks, I took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] revealed that he chickened out of the procedure. Nine months later, we welcomed a healthy baby boy! His name was [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Levi[/name_m]. The kids were shocked that there was another baby, but overjoyed at the same time!
When [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] was only 5 months old, a tragedy ripped apart our lives – [name_m]Peter[/name_m] had been killed in a boating accident. I was crushed and depressed. All of my kids were feeling it. I had to stay strong for them, but I was honestly dying on the inside. Everything had changed. The kids had to leave their fancy private school to go to a public school. I had to go back to work. With no college degree, there was barely anything I could do. So I took a job at Walmart bagging groceries. We also had to downsize out house to this:

A year after the tragedy, I met a very nice man named [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. He was a divorcee who used to be married to a drug-addicted lady. Three years ago, he filed for divorce and took custody of his children. He has two kids: [name_u]Mason[/name_u] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] (11) and [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] (8). He is a firefighter chief and seems like a very nice guy. Six weeks later, we were officially dating.
We dated for four years. [name_f]One[/name_f] day, he took me out to eat at a very fancy restaurant and proposed to me! I couldn’t say no! I was overwhelmed with joy. We married on the beach: http://barefootweddings.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/bamboo-arbor-blue.jpg and it was a huge affair. My daughters all pitched in designing my wedding dress: http://www.8weddingdresses.com/images/bridal-gowns/beach_wedding_dresses_048.jpg . It was a very wonderful occasion. We took the kids on our honeymoon with us on a Mediterranean cruise!
After we came back from the honeymoon, I found out I was pregnant! Definitely a surprise, considering the amount of time it took for me to conceive my other natural children. It was a girl! We named her [name_u]Jordyn[/name_u] [name_f]Marina[/name_f].
After I married [name_m]Rob[/name_m], I was able to stay home with the kids again. Shortly after [name_u]Jordyn[/name_u] was born, we bought a huge house together. This is the house: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/10/05/0520_most_expensive_homes_by_city/image/23-jackson.jpg .
[name_m]Rob[/name_m] and I tried and tried for two years to conceive again, but it just wouldn’t happen. We turned to fertility treatments, and were blessed with triplets! Two girls and a boy. We named them [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Morag[/name_f].
The triplets thrived! It was amazing to see how fast they develop and communicate with each other in special ways.
Only two years later, we had another unexpected surprise. I found out [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]'s boyfriend, [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_m]Mark[/name_m] Schmidt, had proposed to her. And she said yes. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] was only 17, and just out of high school, but [name_m]Rob[/name_m] and I let her go along with it, being that [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] was a nurse supervisor making good money, and he would be able to support her.
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]'s wedding was amazing. It was bittersweet seeing the little girl who was once a shy two year old from an abusive house and became my first daughter turning into this beautiful young woman who was about to take the biggest step in her life. This was her dress: http://searchwallpaper.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/sexy-wedding-dress-designers.jpg and this was where she got married: http://wedding-pictures-04.onewed.com/32688/outdoor-wedding-ceremony-ideas-next-big-bridal-blogger-finalist-1__full.jpg .
Two years after [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]'s wedding, we both got pregnant at the same time! We both had girls. She named her baby girl [name_f]Adalie[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and I named mine [name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f].
After [name_u]Josie[/name_u] was born, I knew our family was complete. I was very happy with my life.
My name is [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Shannon[/name_u] (29) born and raised in Louisville, [name_m]KY[/name_m].

Hello! My name is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] McIntosh and I met my husband, [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Moss[/name_m], at University. His dorm was the one next to my friend’s and we met one night when we all went out together, from the first moment I just knew that I was in love with him, but it took him six weeks to build up the courage to ask me out on an official date. After that though our relationship moved very quickly, our last year at Uni was when I got pregnant with our first baby, six months into the pregnancy [name_m]Henry[/name_m] proposed!
Our first baby was born healthily at a whooping 8lbs 7oz, we knew she was a little girl prior to the birth and had a name picked out for her already - [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_m]Moss[/name_m] - with [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] honouring my sister and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] honouring many generations of my family as well as [name_m]Henry[/name_m]'s grandmother. One week after [name_f]Rose[/name_f]'s first birthday [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and I got married in a beautiful church on the southern Cornish coast with a small number of our family and close friends. Instead of having a lavish honeymoon, we stayed in a chalet near the beach with [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] for seven days.
Two months after the wedding I discover I’m pregnant! It wasn’t planned as I wanted to get myself settled into a career before having another baby, but we are excited nonetheless. Halfway into the pregnancy we’re told it is a boy I’m carrying, when he is born weighing 7lb 9oz we name him [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Moss[/name_m].
After [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] I am determined to wait before having any more children. When our children are four and two we adopt a dog from the local shelter, he is a pre-house-trained two-year-old Dachshund-Beagle-cross that I rename [name_m]Achilles[/name_m] (from the boring [name_m]Jack[/name_m]).
Our son is four and in school before I announce that him and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] will be welcoming a younger sibling. When our second son arrives, we waste no time in naming him [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Drew[/name_u] [name_m]Moss[/name_m] - [name_u]Drew[/name_u] being after my late father - he is 7lbs 3oz at birth and my smallest child yet. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seems to get on with our new arrival better than [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] does.
Our fourth and last child is born when [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] has just celebrated his 2nd birthday, [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] is 7, and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is 9; this time, knowing it will be our last child, we agreed not to find out the gender until it came out, we had two names prepared for our bundle of joy - [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] - everyone was excited to find out if we were going to bring home a second daughter or third son… After a gruelling 10hour labour I am pleased to announce to waiting friends and family that [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] has been born! Like her big sister, she was a big baby, weighing 7lbs 12oz as a newborn.
"[name_f]Mia[/name_f] (32) and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (33) with: [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (11), [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] (9), [name_m]Seb[/name_m] (4), and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (2); plus [name_m]Achilles[/name_m] (9)."

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], My name is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_m]Wells[/name_m]-[name_m]Butler[/name_m] ([name_f]Liv[/name_f]) and I am married to [name_m]Brody[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Butler[/name_m]. We live in Spokane, [name_m]Washington[/name_m]. My husband is in the [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force and I am now a stay at home. Our parents both come from military backgrounds. They have known each other for years and we started dating when we all came together for a family vacation in Idaho.
After 2 years of dating. [name_m]Brody[/name_m] proposes when we do our annual family vacation to Idaho. It’s romantic and sweet. Very him. The ring is vintage and beautiful. We get married a year later in Idaho in [name_f]September[/name_f]. The weather is warm and the mountains are our backdrop. It’s not too big, nor too small but our nearest and dearest are there.
We honey moon to the Caribbean.
When we return from our honeymoon, [name_m]Brody[/name_m] is transferred to South [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]. It’s hard to adjust at first being away from family. We are there for a year, and during his time [name_m]Brody[/name_m] was deployed for 6 months.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] 3 months after [name_m]Brody[/name_m] returns, we move to Kansas. Two months later we find out I’m pregnant. We have a lovely boy on the 3rd [name_u]June[/name_u] and name it [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m]. He has blue eyes and brown hair. Very much like his dad.
Two years later we move to [name_u]Colorado[/name_u]. After 6 months, we find out we are pregnant again. It’s another boy and he is born 9 months later on the 18th [name_f]April[/name_f]. We name him [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] [name_m]Wells[/name_m] [name_m]Butler[/name_m]. He has dark hair and hazel eyes.
Three years later we move for the final time to Spokane. It feels more like home and we are much closer to our families who are dotted in Idaho, [name_u]Utah[/name_u], Oregon and [name_m]Washington[/name_m]. It also makes those annual trips to Idaho easier!
Once again we are pregnant. Another boy!! [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_m]Butler[/name_m] joins our family on the 8th of [name_f]September[/name_f]. We all fall in love with him.
The older boys want a dog, so it’s not long before we welcome to puppies into our life. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Atti[/name_f] join our family.
We love our life, but we feel something or someone is missing. Three years after [name_m]Callum[/name_m] is born, we welcome [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m] joins our family on the 19th [name_u]November[/name_u]. She is perfect.
After three years go by, we find out we are pregnant with our last baby. [name_m]Little[/name_m] miss [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_m]Butler[/name_m] is born on the 14th February.
Our family is complete.
[name_m]Brody[/name_m] (38), [name_f]Liv[/name_f] (34), [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] (12), [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] (10), [name_m]Callum[/name_m] (7), [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (4), [name_f]Florence[/name_f] (1)
I meet my wife [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] at an LGBT funtion in my second year of University. I’m studying Journalism and she’s studying Medicine, but though we’re very different, we hit it off right away! We date through second year and third year. Straight out of graduation I get a writing job and she goes on to the next stage of med school, and even though she’s not done with education yet, we decide it’s the perfect time to tie the knot!
We have a small, relaxed wedding at dusk in the garden of my childhood home. My family helps us decorate everything - stringing christmas lights in the trees and tying multicoloured ribbons over the mismatched chairs. The ceremony’s just our families and best friends as we’re both pretty shy about being the centre of attention, but afterwards there’s a huge reception, still in the garden but with all the chairs cleared away so the field is just a dancefloor, and almost everyone we know who lives near enough comes to party the night away!
We both desperately want kids, but decide to wait until [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is finished with medical school to try. For the next few years I work hard, get promoted, and we save up as much money as we can, and then she finishes school and begins work at the hospital! We’ve been renting a two bedroom house but now that we have two incomes, we decide to buy a home. We chose a house on the edge of the city, which is relatively small but has lots of rooms. For now, we make some of them into a study and a spare room, but we know we’ll be filling them up with kids soon!
As soon as [name_f]Ava[/name_f] finishes school we start trying to get pregnant, and I get pregnant thanks to a sperm donor after just two months of trying. Nine months later, our first daughter is born, on the living room sofa! She has hair so dark it’s almost black and is born with big, brown eyes, and has the loudest scream ever.
We name her [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] didn’t like the name at first, but as soon as [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] was born, it became obvious that it just was her name.
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] keeps working at the hospital but I take time off from work to be a stay at home mother. I stay off work until [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] is two, and then I start doing some journalism work again, but part-time and from home so I can still always be around. When she’s three, me and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] start feeling like we’d like another child - and that [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], who is incredibly social, would like a sibling!
Though I loved being pregnant, we decide to adopt our second child, as we don’t think we can justify bringing another kid into the world when there’s so many who need a home. It takes a year, but eventually, just after [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] turns four, we adopt a three year old girl.
Her name is [name_f]Rhianna[/name_f], but after much discussion with both the social worker and her, me and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] decide to change it. It starts as the bad feeling that we simply don’t like that name, but we also feel it’s a nice way to signify that she is truly part of our family now. We let her have a say in her new name, and she ends up being called [name_f]Lux[/name_f] [name_f]Rhianna[/name_f]!
She is much shier than [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], and six months younger, but they get on fantastically. It’s only a year later when they are four and five that we once again decide there is more room in our family.
This time, we really want a newborn again. [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is making lots of money after being promoted at work and I can easily take time off again. We decide to adopt again, and this time, again after just a year, end up with a six-week old boy. We’re not sure about having a boy at first since we’re a house full of girls, but as soon as we meet him, we know he is meant to be ours.
We name him [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. He’s a very sweet and easy baby, and the girls both dote on him a lot.
Finally, when [name_u]Kai[/name_u] is two, I tell [name_f]Ava[/name_f] I really want to be pregnant again! We chose another sperm donor and though this time it takes longer than it did with [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], a year later I’m pregnant again. Our third daughter is born a month early, and is the quietest of any of our kids, right from the start!
We name her [name_u]Mika[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f], which we think reflects her sweet personality. All three of her older siblings love her to pieces. We’ve finally filled up our house, and me and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] decide for sure we won’t have any more children after that.
Except, of course, our cat [name_u]Poe[/name_u], who we adopt from a shelter a year later!

Once upon a time, there was a girl named [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] Carpenter. She was born on [name_f]May[/name_f] 18th in Pennsylvania. [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] had three sisters named [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] were twins, but born a week apart. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]'s birthday was [name_f]May[/name_f] 11th which was very early. The doctors were able to wait another week before delivering her sister. Both girls had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] looked similar. [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] was seven and a half years younger than the girls and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] was three and a half. The girls grew up in Kansas where [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] were best friends. They would fight like sisters but loved each other. Both girls enjoyed writing thoroughly.
On [name_f]May[/name_f] 22nd, 2017, [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] graduated. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] attended the University of [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] while [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] went up north to the University of Michigan. The girls missed each other so much while they were away. They texted, Skyped, facetimed, and visited as often as they could. While at college, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] met [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_m]Marcel[/name_m] who was a year ahead of her. The two met in English class and started hanging out. They went to the homecoming game [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]'s sophomore year. They officially started dating the summer before [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]'s junior year. Once he graduated, [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] stayed close to [name_f]Ann[/name_f] [name_f]Arbor[/name_f] to stay close to [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]. After college, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] moved to [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] where [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] reunited.
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] began graduate school to become a NICU nurse. [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] started working to become a personal trainer. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] stayed close to Athens to be near to them, but traveled the world as a professional tennis player.
The summer of 2024, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and her family were at their beach house in [name_m]Long[/name_m] Island. She had invited [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]. One day while the two were snuggling in her hammock, [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] rolled out and onto the ground. He pulled up onto one knee and dropped the question. Of course, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] said yes!
On [name_f]April[/name_f] 2nd, in [name_m]Long[/name_m] Island, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] were married.
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] wore this stunning dress:

It wasn’t long after the [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] was married herself, to a fantastic man named [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] Butters.
After a gorgeous honeymoon in Greece, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] found out that she was expecting! This was a big shock as [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] was still working as a dance teacher in [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] while she worked towards her degree. The shock grew when the couple got the news that it was twins!
On [name_f]April[/name_f] 18th, 2025, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] gave birth to her beautiful twin girls. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_m]Williams[/name_m] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_m]Williams[/name_m] joined the family.
Lila and Adair
Not long later, [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u] welcomed their first: a little girl named Alayra Mae Butters.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_u]Adair[/name_u], and Alayra grew up very close. When the girls were almost one, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] moved to [name_m]Conway[/name_m], South [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]. That fall, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] got pregnant again! On [name_f]July[/name_f] 5th, 2027, they welcomed a handsome little man named Carter Jameson Williams.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u] turned three that following [name_f]April[/name_f] and then followed in [name_f]Thalia[/name_f]'s footsteps and started dance. Around the same time, the family decided it was high time to adopt a pet. They found two adorable dogs, a border collie who they named [name_m]Olaf[/name_m] and a terrier named [name_m]Sven[/name_m].
When the twins were nearly four and [name_u]Carter[/name_u] was one, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] had another baby on [name_u]January[/name_u] 28th, 2029. A little girl was welcomed into the family. They named her Maeve Tallulah Williams
After [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] was born, the family decided they wanted a change in scenery. Along with [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and her growing family, they transferred to [name_f]Ireland[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f], now five dropped dancing and started playing soccer. The two hit it off immediately. [name_u]Adair[/name_u], while upset her sister was no longer dancing with her, continued and even added an Irish dancing class. [name_u]Carter[/name_u] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] were still too young to do any activities.
In 2030, [name_f]Thalia[/name_f] and [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] decided to have a fifth child. Unfortunately they started having a difficult time after three easy pregnancies. They finally became pregnant again after two years trying in 2032. The first ultrasound would reveal that this was no ordinary pregnancy. They were expecting quadruplets!
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f] carried the babies as long as she could. At 34 weeks, on [name_f]September[/name_f] 16th, 2033, the two boys and two girls were delivered healthy. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_m]Williams[/name_m], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] Magdelen [name_m]Williams[/name_m], [name_m]Torin[/name_m] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m] [name_m]Williams[/name_m], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_m]Williams[/name_m] joined the now huge family!
This is where we pick up with the happy couple.

My name is [name_u]Ivory[/name_u] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] (19). I was born in [name_f]Barcelona[/name_f], Spain to my parents [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Evans[/name_m] (62) & [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] (65) in 1993. My parents are both doctors and had me in their forties - I’ve grown up all over the world while accompanying them on volunteering trips to third world countries. I guess you can say I’m an only child; my older brother, [name_u]Finlay[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Kensington[/name_m], died in a skiing accident eight years ago when he was 20. We miss him terribly. I work in a organization created in his memory, “[name_u]Finley[/name_u]'s foundation”, which supports young athletes in third world countries. Currently I’m a secretary and based in Marrakech, [name_u]Morocco[/name_u] with my parents, but I hope to study medicine in the US next year and continue helping people, like my parents have done before me.
Five years later:
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] world! I can’t believe how fast the time has passed. I am now almost 25 years old and expecting my first child. My husband, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m], and I met while studying medicine here in [name_m]Boston[/name_m]. We dated for two years before marrying in an intimate ceremony with only family present. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] is a wonderful person. He is 28 years old and comes from a large family with parents, four brothers and one sister! His brothers are: [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] (32), [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] (31), [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Roderick[/name_m] (28) and [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] (25); his little sister is [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] “[name_f]Katie[/name_f]” (16). His brothers are spread all around the world and [name_f]Katie[/name_f] is the only one still living with their parents, [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] (56) & [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m] (56). My parents are currently in [name_u]Nairobi[/name_u], but have promised to return before the birth of their grandchild. These days I work part-time at a children’s hospital nearby and the rest of the time is spent decorating the nursery.
Our darling son finally arrived! We had a lot of problems finding a name beforehand (we had a delivery surprise), but our son wanted a say in our decision! He arrived three weeks early, on what would have been his uncle [name_u]Finley[/name_u]'s 33rd birthday. We decided to name him: [name_u]Finley[/name_u] [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m], and the name suits him oh, so well!
When [name_u]Finn[/name_u] was 13 months [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] decided to accept a new position in San [name_m]Jose[/name_m], [name_m]Costa[/name_m] [name_f]Rica[/name_f]. We lived there for five years and had the time of our life! Our little boy attended Spanish school and is fluent in both languages. We had only lived there for two years when [name_u]Finn[/name_u]'s little sisters were born. They were born with their Daddy’s gray eyes, and auburn hair like their brother and me. We decided to name them:
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m]
Our boy was six and our twins three when we decided to move closer to family. It was hard choosing where to go; [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]'s brothers were working in different parts of the world and my parents had retired and moved to Pretoria, South [name_f]Africa[/name_f]. My preference was to move there to be with them, but we ultimately decided it would be safer to raise our children elsewhere. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]'s twin brother [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] was living in [name_u]Brighton[/name_u], [name_f]England[/name_f] with his family and we chose to move there with our brood. We found a great house close to [name_m]Dan[/name_m], and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and I both got jobs at the nearby hospital. I got closer to my sister-in-law, [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]'s wife [name_f]Janna[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m], and our children got along great. Life almost seemed too good to be true. Two years later, while I was six months pregnant, we received notice that [name_f]Janna[/name_f] and [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] had been killed in a car accident. They had expressed wishes that we would take care of their children if such an event should happen, and naturally we welcomed them into our family. Their names are: [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] (7), [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Devon[/name_u] (4) & [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Riley[/name_u] (1).
Three months later our son, [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_m]Lancaster[/name_m], was born. His happy personality brought a lot of much-needed joy to our newly changed family.
Eventually our children grew up to be loving, strong and respectful individuals. [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and I decided to retire to South-[name_f]Africa[/name_f], just like my parents once did, after our children were moved out and established. Here we continued our work with “[name_u]Finley[/name_u]'s Foundation” and enjoyed the rest of our life together.

My name is [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] Waters. I was welcomed into the world by my mother, [name_f]Maria[/name_f] [name_f]Valeria[/name_f] Mendoza Waters and my father [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] Waters. I have one brother who is 4 years older than me. His name is [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m]. I was born and raised in a suburb of Seattle. As a little girl, I dreamed of being a ballerina. My parents put me into dance lessons at 4 years old, and I never stopped dancing.
As I grew older, my ballet training became more and more intense, and during the summers I would travel to dance programs across the country. The summer after I had just turned 16, I went to a well-known intensive in San [name_m]Francisco[/name_m]. The first day, a very tall and handsome boy caught my eye. By chance, we were placed in the same level which meant I got to spend 9 hours, every day, for a month with him! I learned that his name was [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]. During our first conversation, I quickly noticed his accent and he explained that he was from [name_u]Sydney[/name_u], Australia. Like he needed anything to make him any more attractive! Over the weeks, I developed a group of friends from my level, including [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]. I was crushing so hard, but to my dismay he had a girlfriend. At the end of the program, we said our goodbyes and I promised to send him yummy American food. I didn’t think I would see him for a very long time.
We kept in friendly touch throughout the year. On more than one occasion, [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] seemed to be flirting with me, but I convinced myself that this was myself being hopeful and making things up. One day, he told me that and his girlfriend broke up. When I asked why, he just said it was because he had feelings for another girl.
Fast forward to the summer I was 17, and a surprise greeted me in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] City. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]! He hadn’t told me that he was attending the same summer program. The moment our eyes locked in the lobby of our dorms, he raced towards me, pulled me close, and kissed me. From then on, it was [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] versus the world.
After a challenging year of long distance and 4 years of studying dance together at NYU, [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] proposed to me at our favorite spot in Central [name_m]Park[/name_m]. I said yes! We had a small wedding in a garden on Seattle, then traveled to [name_u]Sydney[/name_u] for another reception where I got to meet his extended family. We took 2 weeks for ourselves in Australia as newlyweds.
We spent our first two years of marriage in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m], where [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] danced in a company and I performed in Broadway shows. On our 2nd anniversary, I had been feeling sick for a couple weeks, and at [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]'s suggestion, I took a pregnancy test. We we shocked and elated to find out we were expecting! Our daughter, [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], was born in [name_u]June[/name_u] in NY. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] continued dancing, and after [name_f]Rose[/name_f] was a year old, I was able to get a job in the outreach department of [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]'s dance company.
Two years later, we found out we were expecting again. We were elated, but also decided that it would be too hard to have 2 kids in NYC. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] got a job with a company in Seattle, which was perfect as it was close to my family. [name_m]Archer[/name_m] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] was born in the fall in a Seattle suburb.
I worked in arts administration in Seattle, working with dance companies to bring their art to public schools. [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] continued to dance with that company until he retired at 40. He then became a ballet master for the company and its school. Our family adopted two dogs when the kids were in elementary school. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] named one [name_m]Mozart[/name_m] “[name_u]Mo[/name_u]” while [name_m]Archer[/name_m] decided on Baryshnikov “[name_m]Bear[/name_m]”. Both [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m] took ballet at age 3, but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] had a passion for music, becoming a music teacher eventually, while [name_m]Archer[/name_m] had the same body as his father, built for ballet, and eventually was a dancer in the same company as [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m].
The [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Family is a very happy one!
