Ok, the rules are pretty simple, I'll be providing two or more options, and you follow the "adventure" that suits you best. Each "adventure" will have it's own set of naming rules for that round. Stories are optional, but always enjoyed and encouraged :) Ages are optional, and you keep track of them yourself. I will not be killing off any family members in this game, but you may chose to do so yourself. I'll provide links to each previous round, so you can quickly find your family. You can chose to sign up and join at any time, just work your way to the current round.
Note: Just because your chose Adventure # in one round doesn't mean that you are stuck with that # for every other round. Each round you can chose your own adventure (hence, the name).

DC = Darling Child, or a first generation child. All other children are second generation.
If you wish, you may have a couple split/divorce in any round. If they divorce in round 6, they can remarry in the next spouse round.
This is the second of 5 "Spouse" rounds. A "Spouse" can be a husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, or fiancé/fiancée. A "Spouse" doesn't have to be of the opposite gender. The choices are up to you.
After each spouse round there will be at least one child round. You may chose to have as many children marry as there are adventures, or as few as 0. Each child (twins/triplets being the exception) must use a different adventure to get married in. Twins/triplets may use the same adventure to get married in, or you may chose to split them up.
Please do NOT change the ages of your current family
Adventure 1:
It was a whirlwind of a marriage for your DC. One minute there wasn't even a whisper of such an event, the next they were trying to plan a big wedding in less then 6 weeks!
-- Spouse: _____ _____ _____ (21)His/her FN comes from the following page:
http://nameberry.com/blog/2009/08/31/emmas-daughters/ - Please use the "daughters/sons" names (not all uppercase) and not the "current favorites" names (all uppercase). His/her MN comes from the following page:
http://nameberry.com/blog/2009/04/03/lions-and-tigers-and-bears-oh-my/. His/her surname is also used in an Jane Austin book or one of the Bronte sister's books.
Adventure 2:
Your DC is marrying a long-time sweetheart. This marriage is no surprise to either family, and both families are anxious to see the couple happy. The only down side is the age, both sets of parents would love to see the couple wait a little while... even if they can understand the desire to get married young.
-- Spouse: *yn _____ *ski (19)His/her FN ends in "yn" and his/her MN has a color meaning but is NOT a word-name. His/her surname ends in "ski".
Adventure 3:
Your DC met their spouse at a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Both had dressed up as characters from the show. They ended up sitting next to each other, and went out to pancakes at a 24-hour restaurant afterwards. They then saw each other again at a vintage movie theater that showed old movies. After the movie they went out to coffee. When they met at a vintage clothing shop they knew it must be fate. The two decided to try dating. They found out that they had so much in common that it was almost scary. It was hard to believe that they hadn't bumped into each other before this point. Needless to say, a strong and steady love developed along with a solid friendship. Both families think that they are good for each other.
-- Spouse: P* *ph* *ff* (27)His/her FN starts with "P" and his/her MN has a "PH" somewhere within it. His/her surname has a "FF" somewhere within it.
