Interesting because my spouse had amnesia when we got together but we built a mini golf course together and then eventually she recovered her memory and it turned out she was rich!

I have a friend whose family had some money, but who managed to marry into BIG money. Like HUGE old money. She was a preschool teacher and met this older, awkward guy from a really rich family. They were pressuring him to get married and settle down. My friend was really young and smitten. They ended up getting married and even having two kids. But it was a disaster. Her rich husband’s family was messed up and her husband was still in love with his old flame. They finally got divorced, and of course, she did well in the settlement. Tragically, her life ended in a car crash when she was with a new, rich boyfriend. Every time I hear a particular Elton John song, I think fondly of my friend.

I come from a large family of five girls with an annoying mother and a really hands-off father. The only sibling I can stand is my older sister. Anyone, she had an on again off again boyfriend for a while and I met her boyfriend’s best friend who was rude at first but then softened and turned into a really nice guy. My sister ended up marrying her boyfriend too.

I was a smuggler with a semi-reliable vehicle, somehow I picked up 2 weird dudes who needed a ride. Anyway, flash forward a bit, I got dragged it to some family business and a couple of really big explosions, but one of those guys had a sister who turned out to be a princess. Pretty good for a nerf-herder.

Your prom dress was very zeitgeist.
