Please spare your guests & don`t do any such thing.
They already guess you love each other as you are getting married, but there is nothing more boring than hearing or reading the story of how someone else fell in love. Unless Shakespeare is writing it, & I assume this lady has been unable to book him.

Hey, it`s not that bad of a read. It ain`t Shakespeare, just a former Associated Press reporter.

THEY MEET

Emboldened by a beer or two, Sara corralled Ravi`s fraternity brother, Pete. "Ravi`s pretty cute," she said. "Tell him that I like him." Pete cut across the room and told Ravi over loud, pulsing music that Sara really wanted to meet him.

Ravi looked her way and smiled, shyly. Sara`s hopes soared. They merged toward the center of the room and danced. A few words were exchanged, but barely heard above the music.

SHE`S GOING TO LEAVE HIM

Deep down, Michael thought about marriage. He loved Dleesaa. “But I didn’t want to rush into it. Besides, I wanted to have a ring ready. In order to do that, you have to put away a couple of bills here and there.”

Dleesaa checked their bank account—often. Not a dent. In her mind, Valentine’s Day 2005 was the deadline. No ring, bye bye.

A PROPOSAL...

Then Michael got on one knee and reached in his pocket. From that moment, everything moved in slow motion, as if Dleesaa were cut off from the world.

“Wiiiiiilllllllll yooooouuuu maaaaarrrryyyyy meeeeee?” she heard Michael say. The huddled crowd cleared a circle for the couple. Cameras flashed. People cheered and clapped for them.

Many people do want to read how people met. I asked at a few weddings how the bride and groom met and I think this is cute. Who are you to put down someone`s business? Talk about tacky and rude, you (Elly) have them both in spades.

This is Dleesaa the bride from the story above that Ellen wrote. As i was planning our wedding i wanted something special...there was NOTHING tacky about it. Everyone of the guests came up to Michael and i and said, "We thought you two were the fairy tale couple...you know..boy meets girl, they fall in love and get married...we never knew you guys went through all that" The Courtship story did exactly what we wanted it to do...that was for our friends and family to understand Michael and I and the rode we took to get to be Mr. & Mrs.. Thank you Ellen...the best thing i did...well except for Marrying Michael of course!!!Our booklet is our first family heirloom.
