Anniversary

It's my parent's 21st Anniversary today! :D SO in honor of that, here's their story...

Once upon a time my mom was born, she has 4 brothers and 3 sisters. In elementary one of these sister's had a friend. She just so happened to be my dad's sister. Eventually, through that, my dad became friends with my mom's brothers. So sometime around the ages of 9 my parents first met. Now they were just aquaintances ya know? My dad was my mom's brother's friend. (I hope ya can keep up with the possessive relationship chains ^_^). Anyway, they were just regular friends who grew up together. I think around their late teens they eventually lost contact with my dad. You see, his family (mom and 3 sisters) were going to the United States. They were getting their Visas and junk all ready. Now my dad had actually gotten ENGAGED to a girlfriend of his. In fact, the reason they lost contact was because he was moving back to Bogota (mom was currently living in Baranquilla. Bogoto is smack in the middle of Colombia, Baranquilla on coast, many hours inbetween) to get married. My mom even helped him pick out rings to use for when they did. Anyway, he moved back to Bogota as his family left to the US. My mom's dad died, and so her family started moving to the US too. My mom went to Chicago while some other siblings went to Florida. Well, a month later, turns out that my dad's relationship didn't work, and the marriage was off. Now he had nothing to do in Colombia, so he moved to Florida where his family was at. Turns out, the day he gets there, my dad's sister, and my mom's sister, the first to know each other, FOUND one another in Florida. They didn't know that both just so happened to have moved to Florida. Mom's sister calls her, and mom finds out. She moves down to Florida from Chicago (where she almost gets married) in the Winter with her brother who is also moving there, so they can all get together. Mom and Dad finally are reunited, start going out, and get married some months later, this day. ^_^

Now this story belongs to my family, if you're some author/director punk who wants to steal it, I'll sue you if you make money off this w/o giving us some!
