Valentine’s Day Project

Hello everyone! I have in mind a family history project for those of you who are married. It is inspired by Valentine’s day, but of course, as I know how busy we all are, you do not have to have it done by then. I call it “Sweetheart Stories.”

I would love to hear everyone’s stories about them and their sweethearts. Here is a list of guidelines for what I’m looking for:

1) You and your sweetheart’s names (include maiden name, too–this is, after all, family history!)
2) How you met (and when–approximate if you don’t know a date, such as fall of 2002 for example; the circumstances; first impressions of each other, if you remember)
3) Dating/courtship (include when you were dating; memorable dates, what kinds of things you did together; picture(s) of you when you were dating, if you have any)
4) Engagement (when and where, details!; picture(s) if you have one)
5) Wedding Story (when and where you got married; details of the day; reception/open house details; any other special things of note; pictures–3 to 5 of your favorites)
6) How things are now (Be brief–you might say how long you have been married, kids you have, how your life is, your feelings for each other now, etc. You do not have to be overly gooey! Also, a current family picture would be nice.)
7) Date you completed this

If you all would just post this as a blog post on suneagle, then we could all have each others’. I would love to print them off and make them into a book for my family, as I think it would be so fun to read through with my kids.
