Help[Games] elysa's photo and story congrats (sign up)
I haven't hosted a congrats game in a long time so I thought I'd start one! :)
This will be a story congrats game (not sure yet how many rounds). In each round you will need to write about your family (like you would in a blog), include any new information from that round (ex. new children, jobs, homes, etc.), and post new photos (of your children, house, cars, pets, etc.). How much or little you write is up to you! Just have fun!
Rules:
1. You must write about your family in every post.
2. You must include at least one new photo in each post.
3. You must follow the naming rules for each round.
4. You can join anytime (just make sure you go back and play all previous rounds)!

DH: (18) Rory Fisher
DW: (22) Lily Sophia (nee Weston)
Rory and Lily met at a science fiction club meeting during college and got to be friends watching classic scifi and playing obscure German board games. Even though Rory was a Freshman and Lily was in her first year of grad school, they knew from their first date that they wanted to marry. Besides sharing their obscure interests, they both wanted a big family, though neither came from one (Lily is an only child; Rory is the youngest of 3).
They moved into an apartment just off-campus and Rory works in the library at school, while Lily receives a stipend for acting as a teacher's assistant and helping with research in the biochemistry lab.
Rory & Lily Jeremy attend a Catholic college in the US.

Grayson and Emma met two years ago. He was working at her grandfather's lumberyard and she was studying art in college. They fell in love and a year after they met they got married at a courthouse and spent 6 months traveling around the United States. While they were traveling they saw an old farm house for sale by the ocean in Georgia and spontaniously decided to buy it. It took all the money they had to fix it up and now they are trying to get the hang of farm life. Grayson isn't working right now and spends most of his time fixing things around the farm. Emma is a photographer and uses their farm as a studio. She has also spends a lot of time in her garden.

Adam & Mia knew eachother all through high school, even though Adam was always a year older. When they wound up going to the same college, they became fast friends and their relationship soon grew to more than 'just friends.' They dated all throughout college before Adam proposed. Now, a year after the wedding, Adam and Mia are living just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, with Adam working as an architect and Mia doing freelance photography. They both would like a relatively large family with maybe 5-6 kids.

Meet James and Clara. They've been seeing each other for about a year now and things couldn't be better. Sure they have their occasional fight and debate about things until one wins, but all in the sake of a healthy relationship. They met during Clara's first year of training at a sports hospital; she was looking to become a trainer before going to med school to be a doctor. James was a minor league hockey star who's trainer had been trying to get James to do steroids. In the end, James fired him and was looking for a new trainer. She was his trainer for a year until he asked her out. There rest was history. Clara's looking for him to propose soon, or if not she's going to.

question...
This seems like fun.
I've never played a congrats game this involved.
Are same-sex couples allowed?

(If any you know who these people are in real life, you are way cooler than I probably would have originally given you credit for.)
Carbrey:
Jude: 
Jude was 20, tired, and settling down in the terminal for his plane back to Heathrow when he spotted a boy already there. The guy was probably just a little older than him and despicably dressed, but for some reason Jude sat down across from him and smiled a bit. Fate would have had them sit next to each other on the trip, but this was real life, not Hollywood. However, Jude did notice that the guy kept looking over at him from where he sat. (Of course, he only knew this because he was looking back, but he doesn‘t like to think about that part). When they reached England, the terribly dressed boy was grabbing his luggage off the belt when Jude reached for his own bag. The boy grabbed it and set it down for him with a smile (after all, the suitcase probably weighed more than Jude did anyway). He nodded toward the suitcase and laughed. “Didn’t want you hurt yourself.” Jude rolled his eyes fondly as the man spoke again. “Sorry, I‘m Carbrey,” he nodded. Jude blushed slightly and held out his hand.
“I‘m Jude.”
(This is Carbrey looking stupid in an airport.)
It’s four years later and the couple have been married for two years. Jude still goes all over the world modeling (or just hangs out at home being a hipster socialite). Carbrey still goes all over the world with his band (They do indie alternative music- big enough name to tour, small enough to be able to walk around in public without security. It‘s the best of both worlds).

If you upload them to tinypic or photobucket or somewhere, you just have to copy and paste the html code.
I tend to use Tinypic.com because you don't have to have an account to use it.
You can always try it out on the test board if you wanna play around with some pics and figure it out before you post them elsewher on the boards. :)
Good luck! :)

James Henry Hendrik lived in a small town in Maine before he got a job in New York City. When he was hired for his current, well-paying job, James couldn't turn it down, no matter how much he loved Maine and the countryside. He packed up his belongings and moved to NYC. There, in the next-door apartment, was Chloe Marcelle Oddly, a pretty young woman with a cheery and bright attitude. Chloe and James became fast friends while Chloe was still going through college. Not long after she graduated and found a job, James proposed and the two had their simple, countryside wedding celebration. They currently live in NYC, but not in an apartment this time. One of Chloe's friends help set them up with an adorable little house just big enough for the two of them and maybe--if it just so happened to happen--a little baby or two. If their family got too large they would have to move out of their cozy little home and find a new place to live.
