[Games] Starving Artist's Congrats Signups
Okay, I'm going to try my hand at hosting a game. Rules are as follows:1. There will be eight rounds. Seven will be for children, the final round will be for a pet.
2. It will be judged, provided there are enough votes to declare a winner.
3. Double middle names are allowed, but anything beyond that is not. You are not required to pick two middle names. One is fine.
4. If someone has already claimed a last name, you may not have the same last name. You must choose another.
5. Sign ups will be open to the first 20 people that sign up.
6. When completing the sign up form, please include a maiden name for the DW and the ages of your couple. It will be your responsibility to keep track of their ages.
7. Finally, tell us a little bit about your couple and how they met. What was their wedding like? Where do they live now? What is their profession? (That sort of thing).SIGN UP FORM:User Name:LN:

DH: Elias Benjamin - 23
DW: Moira Danielle (Bell) - 24About Them: After graduating from the Univeristy of Bristol with a degree in astrophysics, Elias and a few friends decided to take a carefree year and spend it backpacking across England. The plan was to hike through the remote wilderness and visit some ancient castles and ruins along the way, but what they really ended up doing was more along the lines of gate-crashing lots of university parties. At one such party in Manchester, Elias wandered off toward the university's museum and passed out against the wall of the building, which isn't exactly the best way to begin a romance, but, well...it worked for him. Moira, a postgraduate student studying archaeology at Manchester, left the museum late that night and found him not too long after he'd gotten there. She was a bit on edge after a long day of work, so she decided to wake him up by emptying her bottle of water over his head. She asked him what in the world he thought he was doing, and Elias replied that he'd gotten a bit sidetracked while backpacking across the country, adding that all he really wanted to do was see Stonehenge. Moira, who happened to be working on a project at Stonehenge as part of her postgraduate work, smiled a little at that and told him that she'd make sure he got to see it. Despite herself, Moira found his drunken manner endearing, and looked after himself for the rest of the night. The next day she would find that his sober manner was quite charming, and so she ended up taking him to Stonehenge like she promised. She spent the day showing him all the fascinating things she'd discovered while researching there, and Elias seemed thrilled about everything. It was clear day, so when the sun set the stars were bright, and the two of them leaned against one of the giant stone pillars while Elias excitedly told Moira about Stonehenge's connections with astronomy. They got along easily and naturally and started dating not long afterward.

As fate would have it, despite being an broadcasting major, he decided to take an acting course, simply because he'd always enjoyed it in high school. I, as a theatre/drama major, was already enrolled, and so we met. We dated for two years and were engaged for another before we were married in a beautiful church ceremony.

Do you mind if I keep track of ages myself?Go right ahead. I'll be double checking things, just in case someone's math is off, but I figured everyone will update their ages themselves.

DH: Liam Adrien (25 - PE teacher)
DW: Temperance Cameron Allison "Tess" (Sparks) (24 - novelist)About Them:
Liam and Tess met in high school. They were in the same Creative Writing class, but had never spoken. One day, the teacher assinged a project for them to do together, although they weren't too happy about it. Liam mentioned to his mother that he would be working with a girl named Temperance Sparks. His mother asked him if she her name happened to be Temperance Cameron Allison. He had a vague idea that it was something like that, and his mother bursted laughing - Tess was the daughter of an old friend of her, whose name was Cameron Allison Avery. She had know about the birth of her daughter - she had actually gone with Liam to see her, when he was just a year old! But then they lost touch. It turned out that they had moved to the other side of town a couple of years ago.A little pressured by their mothers at first, they actually became friends... and them a little more. When Tess graduated from high school, Liam had to move to South Africa with his mother because of her work, and they stayed there for a year. They never lost touch, though, and when he came back, he surprised everyone by proposing to her! Even though they were very young (he was 20 and she was 19), she accepted his proposal and the next year they got married. Liam was able to continue his studies and Tess worked to accomplish her dream of becoming a publish writer. Now she finally was able to publish her first novel and he has a safe job as a PE teacher (in their old high school) and they decided it was time to start having children.(God, the inspiration fairies must have been hitting me in the head... I didn't inted to write that much! :)
