Help**elysa's international story congrats** sign-up round
I've decided to start another story congrats game and I thought it would be fun to do an international one!
In this game you choose a country for your congrats to take place in. Both SO's can come from that country, or you can have one be from another country. If you choose SO's to be from different countries, you are allowed to switch from one place to the other. Also, feel free to have nontraditional families! In each round I will give you story options for your family (ex. have a baby, new job, etc.) and you can choose one or more of them.
~~~~~~~~
Rules:
-You must choose a country different from your own. (preferably one you haven't used before)
-You must write something for each round! (How much or little is up to you)
-Try to include interesting things about the culture from the country you choose.
-All names must come from the country you choose! (unless one of the SO's are from a different country. In that case you may choose one from theirs)
-You must keep up with ages! (I will not)
-Feel free to post pictures! :)

Country: Wales (which I know nothing about, but I like the names.)
LN: Saise-Pascoe
DH: Llywelyn Meredith Wynn (24)
DH: Siôr Enfys (23)
Disclaimer: Since this is a made-up story with a completely original cast of random guys, I am going to write what I want to no matter how incredibly unlikely it is. There is no fun in pretending if someone limits your imagination, right? Right. So go with this.
Llywelyn was only seventeen when he met Siôr for the first time. At that point, they already knew they were to be married. Families like theirs arranged everyone's marriages and anyone who couldn't be married for good breeding purposes was married for good publicity purposes. Llywelyn is pretty sure however that he and Siôr are the first ones this has ever happened to- at least within any of the families he knows considering they're the only gay people he knows in their circles.
They'd met four times by the time they were married. Enough to know they were almost exactly a year apart in age, that Siôr liked animals quite a bit ("Something I've always wanted to do? See a burrowing owl. I know that's pathetic, but they use the old burrows of foxes and badgers and they live there year after year. It's fascinating.") and that Llywelyn thought a beach was meant to admired and enjoyed, but not the ocean part ("People aren't meant to be in the ocean. Sharks are. There's a reason they're there and not us.").
For over 100 years now, the Saise family has made quality dress shoes for people throughout the world and much of the family works for the now renowned company. Llywelyn is part of their marketing department. While he's good at the job, he has many other interests he'd like to pursue as well. Not to mention, he knows it's a joke between people behind his back about how cliche it is for a gay man to work at a dress shoe company.
Siôr, on the other hand, comes from a family with less money and yet is more spoiled.

Vitaliy and Kira Kuznetsov live in Yekaterinburg, Russia (also known as Ekaterinburg). Vitaliy is with the police department in Yekaterinburg, and he previously served two years in the Russian military. Kira is a ballerina with the Yekaterinburg Academic Ballet and Opera Company. Vitaliy and Kira grew up in the same neighborhood, but lost touch in high school. When Vitaliy moved to Yekaterinburg three years ago after his stint with the army, he saw that Kira was a dancer, and went to see some of her shows. He contacted Kira a few months after that, and the two have grown closer and closer. Finally, they were married six weeks ago. They honeymooned in Moscow, and are just now settling into a routine of sorts. Kira moved into Vitaliy's two bedroom apartment in the heart of Yekaterinburg.

Tiago and Julianne met when Julianne studied abroad in Brazil (they were 20 and 23 at the time). Tiago had been dating one of Julianne's friends at the time so they had only been acquaintances more than anything. The following year, the two happened to bump into each other stateside, as Tiago was on some work project (he speaks English well, her Portuguese is flawless) and the two started to talk more, get a little closer. Two year Julianne took a job with the State Department in Brazil. She told Tiago she was in town and they started to hang out and then date. They love each other and love being together, but Julianne never intended to stay in Brazil forever. And Tiago can't seem to get a green card. It was time to either go hard or go home. They got married last month on an island off the northeast cost of Brazil. They live comfortably in a well-secured house near a Rio de Janeiro favela (which is where her work project--an orphanage/school-- is located)with the money from her housing stipend. Meanwhile, Tiago is saving all his money for the inevitable trip/move to the US.

Aurelien and Liadan met five years ago in a small pub in Paris--her roommate, whom she was traveling with at the time, dared her to talk to the attractive, dark-haired Frenchman who was brooding by the bar. A stereotypical plucky redhead, Liadan couldn't resist the dare, and she and Aurelien got to talking...and talking....and talking. They discovered that they had nearly everything in common--both of them were writers who hated romantic comedies but loved James Joyce. They spent nearly all of Liadan's week long holiday together--he nicknamed her "Lila," for he told her that her eyes reminded him of lilacs, but really, he just had a hard time pronouncing her name,--and shared a passionate night together before Liadan went back to university. They kept in touch and soon started a long distance relationhip. Once Aurelien visited, however, he fell in love with the moody atmosphere of Dublin and relocated to Ireland, where he proposed to Liadan. They got married a year later, and are both working grunt jobs to support themselves while writing their works--Aurelien as a translator with a mystery novel, and Liadan at a publishing house with her short stories.

Gilchrist Daividh Matheson was the youngest son of Peadar Lachlan Matheson and Lilias Isla Matheson, two Christian parents. He had two brothers and two sisters. In his little hometown, Gilchrist grew up happily with his older siblings. Gil Matheson was always the little adventurer, and it was no surprise when he brought home a Bulgarian friend of his in his early twenties: Nadezhda Yordana Filipov, the only daughter of Boyana Darina Filipov and Grigor Kamen Filipov.
Nadia and Gil spent many years together in Scotland. They lived as decent people, acting as the good Christians they are. Nadia was accepted by all the people Gilchrist knows. No one cared that she is a native of Bulgaria. Mr. and Mrs. Matheson were only too happy to hear that their Gilchrist had proposed to Nadezhda, the girl who had become almost like a daughter to them. Gil and Nadia were married when they were 27 (Gil) and 24 (Nadia). They have been married for a year now, and nothing big has happened, though both know that something is right around the corner as usual.
Gil is a journalist, and at the moment Nadia is working in the local schools.
