DH: Franklin Jasper (22, author)
DW: Mary Alice Genevieve "Alice" (21, author)
Random Number (1-12): 9
Writing For This Round: Please tell us about the parents and the events surrounding them. Tell us how they met. If they are married, tell us about the wedding. If the parent is a lone parent, please tell us about their break-up with their ex-SO.Franklin and Alice are both authors. Franklin started writing at age 8 and had a book published at 17. That book skyrocketed to the top of the best seller list. Since then, he has written 2 sequels to the book and his fans, mainly teenage girls, are excited for the fourth book in the series to hit shelve. Franklin met Alice when he was 19 years old. He was in a meeting with his publishers just before the release of the first sequel when Alice, not realizing that she was mistaken about the time for her meeting, came an hour early to her meeting. Alice was halfway through getting her first book, a murder mystery novel set in 19th century England, published. Being a fan of Franklin's novel (which was a fantasy-romance novel involving an attractive teen from the year 4391, named Panos, time traveling to modern times and falling in love with a geeky teenage girl, Amelia), Alice fangirl screamed when she saw Franklin come out of the meeting room. This happened a couple times over the next few months (minus, of course, the fangirl screaming, which only happened the first time). Around the third time they ran into eachother at the publisher's office, Franklin asked Alice if she wanted to grab lunch. They went to a local diner (where a group of 14 year old girls screamed "OH MY GOD IT'S FRANKLIN MASEN!" and asked for autographs (which he gladly gave, and took pictures with the girls)), and talked for a long time. Franklin got married just last month. They wedding took place in Alice's grandmother's garden. The wedding was not announced to the press or public until after it took place. There was at most 50 people who attending the wedding, family and friends.

My own - taking four more sign-ups!LN: Kaye-Moore
DH: Jude Alexander (25, actor)
DW: Caroline Jane "Cat" (23, actress/singer)
Random Number (1-12): 8Writing For This Round: Jude and Cat (dubbed "JC" by the media) have been dubbed one of Hollywood's newest "it" couples. Jude is six foot tall, blonde-haired and a well-known actor, and met Cat when she performed a small background roll in one of his films. He was attracted to her, and got her work (under her pre-marriage name of Cat Stefan) as the leading female in the next movie he starred in, "Souls Reunited". Cat was thrilled - up until this, she had been a small-time actress, and had always idolised Jude and his work. She was a quiet, brown-haired girl from Iowa, and could not believe her luck when she realised that Jude had fallen in love with her. The couple dated privately for three months before the relationship caught the public's attention. Shortly after this, Cat moved into Jude's California apartment. The couple married in a huge and highly publicised ceremony, and honeymooned in the Caribbean. Jude adored the Caribbean so much that he purchased a mansion there, and now Jude and Cat divide their time between the Caribbean and California. They are very much in love and can't wait to start a family together.

LN: Duckett
DH: Caleb Ryan, 25, animal trainer
DW: Abigail Marie, 24, teacher/artist
Random Number (1-12): 7
Writing For This Round: Caleb is strong and muscular. He has reddish-brown hair and dark green eyes. Abbie is slender and graceful. She has brown hair with blonde highlights and blue-green eyes. Caleb and Abbie have known each other since 6th grade. For Caleb, it was true love at first sight. It took Abbie a little longer for her to figure out that she liked Caleb, but after finding out that he liked her, it wasn't very hard for her to realize her true feelings for him. They were each other's first and only boyfriend/girlfriend. They were married at the ages of 20 and 19 and neither of them has regreted it since. They had a rather large wedding, about 400 people. The theme was Valentine's Day since it was held that day. Abbie is now a teacher at the local high school and is one of the students' favorites because, her being younger, she isn't that strict. Caleb is an animal trainer and has to travel some for his job, but not too much. Both of them wish to have children someday and want to have a large family.

LN: HirschBF: Avram "Avi" Even Hirsch (22, English Lit. student pursuing Phd)
GF: Jocelyn Marie Abbott (22, Veterinary student)FRandom Number (1-12): 8Writing For This Round: Avi's father, Isaac David Hirsch, made a birthright trip to Israel when he was eighteen. He met Avi's mother, seventeen-year-old Shira Lior Rosen, and found himself unable to return to the States for being so in love with her. Isaac stayed in Israel, and he and Shira were married only months after meeting (despite protests from Shira's rather conservative family).Avi was born two years later in Tel Aviv. He had a happy, normal childhood. Both his parents were free spirited, if somewhat indulgent (having both come from fairly wealthy families and not being shy about wanting their son to have the best of everything). Isaac and Shira owned a bookstore, where Avi spent hours pouring over literature, both in Hebrew and English, and developing an intense love for the written word.When Avi was eleven, his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer during a routine physical. The disease was not caught early enough, and despite receiving the best medical care available, she died less than six months later with her son and husband at her bedside.Utterly heartbroken at the loss, Isaac sleepwalked through life for quite a while, hardly noticing that his son was hurting just as severely. Avi had begun acting out: skipping school, doing drugs, getting in fights, committing wanton acts of petty vandalism with his new crowd of delinquent friends. After the third time his son was brought home by the police for various indiscretions of this nature, Isaac decided that they both needed a change.
