james and bria.


Once upon a time a handsome young man made the wise decision to attend a new high school in his eleventh year of studies. On his first day of class he spotted the most beautiful young woman from across the room and his heart began to soar. He tried to befriend her in the best ways he knew how; he pulled her hair, he threw balls at her head, he called her pretending to be other people...but nothing seemed to woo her to his strapping side. In fact, things weren't going very well at all...it turns out he had made her cry numerous times.
Lucky for him (and her) the young man matured mentally during his summer break. When he came back to his studies he had caught her attention...finally! The two hit it off and started dating much to surprise of everyone around (especially the young woman's mother). Sadly, things came to an end only a few weeks later when the young woman decided to focus her attention on her last year of schooling instead of the handsome young man. Crushed and broken hearted the young man made a firm decision to love her and to one day marry her.
Many months later, on a lovely afternoon, the two decided to skip all of their classes and take a stroll downtown. Enjoying the young mans company, the young woman turned to him and asked what was on his mind. Little did she know, earlier that day he had made a firm decision to confess his undying love for her if that exact question was asked. So...he said it, "I love you". Shocked and slightly confused she took a few minutes to collect her thoughts and said that soon it would be time for them to be together.

Well, their relationship started and then it stopped and then started and stopped. She took off to another country and he stayed home and thought about her, still firm in his conviction that he would love her and marry her. When she returned from her travels they met over coffee and she instantly realized how stupid she'd been, for the man of her dreams had been there, in front of her this whole time!


Soon the day came when he asked her the question he had been wanting to for years, "Will you marry me my dearest, my love?" Overjoyed she said "YES" and thus set the wedding wheels in motion; plan this, order that, sample this, make that. The year went by quickly as there was much to accomplish to make the day flow smoothly and be created into a beautiful memory for all who where there.

On that brisk October morning angels sang as their lives were molded together. All eyes watered watching them take each others hands and exchange vows, it was a beautiful testament of determined love. Their new journey was sealed with a kiss and *poof* they became a little family of two.

And then *poof* three.


















And then *poof* four.
The god's had blessed them with the most beautiful children in all the land and they lived happily ever after.
~THE END~
(i think that it might need a few fairy godmothers, a fat gnome for comedic relief, a lovable talking yak, and possibly an evil warlord to make it to the movies.)
Happy Anniversary Darling!

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
