A random number is a number between 1-21 in my game. Other games have a different limit on numbers.
The random number will determine what the random event you get will be.
So you just need to pick a number from 1-21.

DW: Nola ColleenRandom event number: 21I moved in to the apartment next to Colin's. The house was in a city, and I had grown up in the country, where our nearest neighbors were about ten minutes by foot away, so I was very nervous about going to introduce myself to the neighbors, but when I finally decided to go knock on Colin's door, he wasn't home and I lost my courage. It was three months before we actually saw each other, when I couldn't get into my apartment because I had lost her keys. Colin came home from work and promptly invited me over for dinner, and we started officially dating about a week later.
Exactly a year after our first meeting, Colin proposed to me. We had a fairly small wedding with our families and close friends in a lovely little church in the town where I grew up and where we now live together.

DW: Pixie AineAngus and Pixie met in college but hated each other from the start. Pixie was a student in history and Angus studied economics. They met at a party but Angus offended Pixie by saying that history was only for those not smart enough to study something else. He also made a few jokes about her name. Although they couldn't stand each other they had mutual friends and bumped in to each other from time to time. About a year and a half later they ended up going to the movies together after their friends mysteriously had forgotten about the plans and left them on their own. Angus and Pixie had a great time and soon realised that there was no reason to hate each other. After three months they were offically a couple.Two years later they got married. It took place in an old and beautiful town church that was decorated with pink and white roses. It was a small wedding but both Angus and Pixie wanted a small and intimate ceremony. They didn't have a wedding reception, instead they had dinner in an expensive restaurant with the close family. All the money they saved on having a small wedding was used for the honey moon and they travelled across both Europe and Asia for eight weeks. Number 13

Once Evie overcame her shyness and speak to Artie without examining her toes they were able to form a close friendshipOvertime as they grew closer Evie's feelings developed into feelings of love and this caused her much heartache as her feelings were not recriprocated. However after a year or so Artie also fell in love.They were married on Feburary the 2nd. It was a relatively small wedding, only family and close friends. We were married at our local assembly (church) and had the reception at a local hotel. The bridesmaids wore beautiful lilac dresses and the flower girls younger replica of the brides dresses with a lilac sash. The bride wore a lovely white dress with lace sleeves (full length) and the ruffels of the skirt were gathered into a bow a the waist. Her dress also had a small train and the veil covered most of her back - the length of the brides extra long hair.

DH: Chad Colin
DW: Evelyn Deirdre "Eva"Random Event Number - 4Chad and Evelyn met in a high school theatre class. He was a 16-years old and junior; she 14-years old and a freshman. The two hit it off immediately with their love of acting, and simply being on stage. They took great joy in acting out scene work together, and both, likewise, had a dream of going to Hollywood and one day making it "big"...or relatively. His goal: primetime television or film; her's daytime television.Their passion for acting, however, soon far exceeded just that, and each found themselves falling for the other. Eventually, he asked her to the movies, and they hit it off even more. Their relationship grew considerably over the course of the year, and she was his date to junior prom. After he graduated from high school, he pursued an acting degree at a local college, while she continued in her high school coursework, but shortly before graduation, he proposed.The two were happily married the following September in what proved to be a gorgeous, fairy-tale-come-true wedding. Family and friends gathered in their hometown, where they exchanged vows in a magical ceremony at the church she'd spent her entire life. Flowers and candles adorned the entire room, as they pledged their eternal love to one another.And so after marrying, they decided to take one final big leap and make that move to Los Angeles. Leaving everything they knew, but promising to always remain true to themselves, together, they made the journey to Southern California, in hopes of attaining a dream, but regardless, in pursuit of a brand new life (and future) together.

DW: Evelyn Annabelle "Evie" (23)Random event number: 7Chad and Evie did everything backwards. They went to the same high school, but they never hung out in the same circles: Chad was the star quarterback and Evie was the introverted artist. On graduation night, Chad's best friend Colin hosted a party because his parents were out of town. Not normally one to attend such a party, Evie went after her best friend convinced her. Inevitably, things got out of hand, and the next morning, both Chad and Evie found themselves together in an unfamiliar bedroom. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened. The situation was understandably awkward, since both of them had not drunk enough to completely forget the previous night, and Evie was even more mortified when Chad, attempting to lighten the mood, suggested that they have breakfast. Not knowing what to say, Evie agreed.Coincidentally, the two of them got summer jobs at the same restaurant and ended up hanging out a lot for the next two months. They felt inexplicably comfortable around each other. Evie learned about Chad's fear of not living up to his father's expectations of playing college football, and Chad got to see the outgoing side of Evie that hardly anyone else was familiar with. By the end of the summer, they were very close friends but hadn't reached the level of dating yet, although the attraction between them was certainly palpable.Chad left for Arizona State, where he had gotten a scholarship to play football, while Evie took off for UCLA. A few months later, ASU had a game against UCLA, and Chad called Evie to see if she wanted to catch up. She readily agreed, and the two met up after the game for dinner. One thing led to another, and soon the pair found themselves back in Evie's dorm room reenacting the night of the graduation party (except that neither one of them was drunk). But Chad had to leave early the next morning to go back to Arizona, so that was the end of that.

Chad and Casey met when a friend of Casey's convinced her to travel to a new poetry slam with her, to support another friend with his first time emcee-ing. This other friend just happened to be Chad. Chad is a high school teacher who organized the poetry slam for his students, hoping that with the help of his city friends, it would become bigger.During the poetry slam, it started to snow heavily. Chad invited a few people to stay at his house for the night so they wouldn't have to drive. This included Casey and her friend. They spend most of the night drinking and jamming, and after everyone else had fallen asleep, Casey and Chad stayed up talking.Before Casey returned home the next day, she and Chad decided to stay in contact. They spent many late nights talking on the phone, and day trips to visit each other, even if it was just for a few hours. About 6 poetry slams (or 6 months) later, he proposed to her. She found another job in the same town as him, and a few months later, they married. They had a small wedding at a local park, with just close friends and family. Being poets, they wrote their own vows. A larger reception was held later. They are happy and confident in their marriage, but Casey is now realizing that his mental issues were worse than she had thought and there will be serious issues that they will have to work through.Random event number: 12

Arthur Ponziskeim who was born in London, England (his parents are from Norway) was in New York visiting his brother, George, who is in college. Evie Stone, who was born in Seattle, Washington was in New York at an audition. Evie was auditioning for a part in a broadway play. Evie loves to sing, dance, and act. On night Arthur and George went out to this very nice restuarant and Evie and a couple of other people who also got parts in the play were their. Arthur saw Evie and say that he would love to met her, but Arthur is more shy than most. But his brother George is just the opposite. George ran up to Evie and told her about Arthur. Evie, who is not shy at all, said okay, and the next night they went on a date. They got along great, even through they are opposites. Arthur and Evie would stay in contract through George, while Evie was in New York. After dating 9 months, Arthur (who is from a very weathly family) asked Evie to come a live in England with him. Two months later, after Evie made the move, Arthur asked her to marry him. Of course she said yes.Arthur Colin Ponziskeim and Evelyn Nola Stone were married on June 3, 2007. They were married in London. The weather was perfect, but the day before it rain all day, which scary Evie to death. Evie had always wanted a huge wedding and Arthur went along.

DH: Arthur Terrence (25) (changed Torrance into Terrence)
DH: Faris Teague (23) (changed Ferris into Faris)Random event number: 1I met Arthur in through a mutual friend. It was her birthday party and she introduced us to each other. She jokes that she though we'd make a lovely couple. After about half an hour of talking with him, I also began to think that we'd make a lovely couple. We both never even talked to anyone else the entire party. My original plan was that I was going to stay the night at our friend's house (since I lived in another city), but instead I went home with Arthur. We spent most of the night watching movies and talking, until we fell asleep on his couch. In the morning we went out for breakfast and decided to walk through the city together, then we had lunch and went to the movies in the afternoon. Then we had dinner, and before we knew it, we were exactly where we were the night before. On his couch talking and watching a movie. The next day he made me breakfast and I said I really had to go, because I hadn't brought enough clothes to spend another day and night with him, and I also need to go to work the next day. He told me he really didn't want me to go and even offered me the use of his clothes. I declined, but I promised that next weekend I'd see him again. It wasn't even halfway through the week when he suddenly stood on my doorstep, and announced that we'd be going to dinner together that day. Our friend (Susannah) had given him my address and had even called me earlier to make sure I was home. She really enjoys this match-making stuff... I went with him to dinner and he stayed over at my place. I kissed him that night. About 2 months after that I ended up moving in with him. I've never been that serious about a relationship in my life, but everything just felt right with him from the very beginning. Later he carefully asked me how I felt about marriage, and I said I hadn't thought about it before.

I sat next to him in my Calculus class. One day towards the end of Senior year, I asked him where he's going to college, just as small talk. He told me and I started laughing. He was going to the same college I was. I saw him a few times my 1st semester of freshman year in college. During 2nd semester, he was in a few of my classes and we talked. Not long after, we became good friends, my best friend even. Around end of Sophmore year, we started dating and things just got more serious from there. Right after our college graduation, he proposed to me. I, of course, said "yes". We decided to have a small wedding. We invited our families and close friends. Neither of us are religious, so we decided to wed in his parent's backyard (since my parents backyard is tiny). For our honeymoon, we went on a cruise to Europe.

Random number:21The Whitestones are both descendants of the English aristocracy.
Desmond and Evelyn's fathers were friends at Eton and their families socialized together through the years after as their families grew. When Desmond turned 25, and Evelyn was 21, he proposed to her on the occasion of his parents' golden wedding anniversary. They had a formal wedding with an Anglican ceremony and an elaborate reception the following summer.
Now, at 26, the wedding festivity is over, and although they are fond of each other, it is clear that this is a marriage of convenience and familiarity rather than one of passionate love.

Random Event Number: 13Arland and Casey met in their high school geometry class. Arland was a sophomore, and, while one of the most intelligent people in the school, he was barely passing the class. Casey was a freshman and also intelligent, but not at Arland's level, and she had an A. The teacher begged Casey to try to get Arland to try harder, as everything she attempted seemed to fail. Casey was reluctant, but she agreed to give it a shot. She began asking Arland to explain things to her, forcing him to learn the material himself. His grade went up, and eventually they began to date.The wedding was a beautiful affair, but it was also a bit of a mess. Arland's brother Colin was the best man, and he tripped over a pew on his way to the front of the church. He was fine, but it was a very dramatic moment.

#7Colin in I met when I was in grade 9, and he was in grade 12. My best friend Jill, and his best friend Blaine were best friends. First day of school, I was lost, and stopped and asked a group of guys (which included Blaine and Colin) where French room 203 was. They pointed me into a classroom, which, when I walked into, I quickly discovered was an upper year science lab prep class. My face has never been so red, and of course, the boys thought it was hilarious. Colin took pity on me, and pointed me in the proper direction. That was the last I saw of him for a few weeks.Jill was in my science and math class. We quickly became friends, and about two weeks into school, she invited me to her house for 'Friday night on the farm'. I agreed to go, along with the rest of mine and Jill's now tight froup of friends. Of course, who else would be there, but Blaine and his group... including Colin! Unfortunatly, Colin went away to school at the end of the year, and while we had had a lot of fun that year, nothing really came of it. Then, by some weird stroke of luck, I found myself at the same university as he was. I was starting my first year, and he was starting his last year. Jill's parents has still been hosting 'Friday night on the farm' while he was away, and he came whenever he was home for the holidays. He had agreed to help me move in the first day, and true to his word, he as waiting infront of my res building when my parents drove up. He left after lunch, and my parents left just before dinner. While I was sitting in my room feeling sorry for myself, my phone suddenly started to ring-- It was Colin, wanting to be let in. So, I went downstairs to get him, and as they say, the rest, is history!Our wedding took place where it all began-- no, not at the science prep room, but at Jill and Blaine's house during a "Friday night on the Farm". Jill was of course my maid of honour, and Jenni, Meredith and Colin's sister Candace were my bride's maid's. Colin's best man was Blaine, and his grooms men were Jared, Kevin, and Joel. It was an absoloutly beautiful ceramony-- at sunset, in the middle of a sunflower field that Jill and Blaine's dad had planted that year just for us.
