HelpReally Long Mix and Match Game
I really liked doing the last one, so I wanted to do another. This time I gave an age and what they looked like, along with changing some of the other stuff. The house and births have changed a lot, and if you don't want to you can skip the house thing.
I might be the only one who does this, but I think it'd be fun.
It's REALLY, REALLY LLLOOONNNGGG
Please don't read ahead! It's more surprising.

THE WEDDING
Talk about:
---How they met
---The proposal
---The dress
---The location
---The honeymoon location
THE HOUSE
So, this is much different this time. Instead of preferences, each person has a budget. You add the budgets together and then see what they can buy, then choose the best house. The money may or may not be realistic, I'm just picking, I really don't know how much each job makes, they're cheap or borrowing or whatever if it's wrong.
Mike - $300K
Billy-Bob - $150K
Jeremy - $200K
Dominic - $250K
Fritz - $75K
Neil - $100K
Christine - $250K
Gina - $100K
Quincy - $75K
Rebecca - $300K
Tanya - $150K
Heidi - $200K
So, Jeremy and Tanya, for example, could have any house $350K and under.
These are the types of houses/apartments available and their price:
$50K - Super cheap 1 bedroom apartment
$75K - Nice 1 bedroom apartment
$100K - Nice 2 bedroom apartment
$125K - Nice 3 bedroom apartment
$150K - Small 2 bedroom condo
$175K - Small 3 bedroom condo
$200K - Large 2 bedroom condo
$225K - Large 3 bedroom condo
$250K - Two level, 2 bedroom loft
$275K - Two level, 3 bedroom loft
$300K - Nice 3 bedroom split-level
$325K - Nice 4 bedroom split-level
$350K - Nice 3 bedroom split-level with pool
$375K - Nice 4 bedroom split-level with pool
$400K - Small 2 bedroom house
$425K - Small 3 bedroom house
$450K - Medium 2 bedroom house
$475K - Medium 3 bedroom house
$500K - Medium 4 bedroom house
$525K - Large 3 bedroom house
$550K - Large 4 bedroom house
$575K - Huge 5 bedroom house with pool
$600K - Huge 7 bedroom house with pool
for all houses $400K - $550, a pool is an extra $50K
OR
They can move into one spouses house. (Most do not have this option) This still costs money.
Mike - Large 2 bedroom studio apartment - $250K
Billy-Bob - small farmhouse (3 bedrooms) - $200K
Christine - Old beach house - $300K for restoration
Rebecca - Two level, one bedroom loft - $225K
Heidi - Large 2 bedroom studio apartment - $200K
Subtract the cost from the budget
If you have $75K or less remaining, one spouse either gets a second job or promotion. What is it?
HAVING KIDS
Roll the die for number of births: http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/twelve.htm Reroll if you think they'd have more or less kids. If you have Rebecca, add 1 to your dice roll for the one she's pregnant with.
Then roll this die (http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/six.htm) for each birth. Then see below for gender (and if it's multiples) and further below for each spouse's preferences.
If you rolled two for births, for example, then get twins the first time, you still roll again. It's number of births, not children. I wanted to make that clear.

2. They have a girl! DW picks FN, DH picks MN.

Births 2 5 8 & 11
1. They have a girl! DW picks FN, DH picks MN.
2. They have a boy! DH picks FN, DW picks MN.
3. They have a girl! DW picks both names.
4. They have a boy! DH picks both names.

----------Christina has two boys and a girl!
----------Gina has two boys and a girl!
----------Quincy has two girls and a boy!
----------Rebecca has all boys!
----------Tanya has all girls!
----------Heidi has two boys and a girl!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------Mike has the same gender kids be identical!
----------Billy-Bob has the same gender kids be fraternal!
----------Jeremy has the same gender kids be fraternal!
----------Dominic has the same gender kids be fraternal!
----------Fritz has the same gender kids be identical!
----------Neil has the same gender kids be identical!
For example, Neil and Quincy would have identical girls and a boy
Births 3 6 9 & 12
1. They have a boy! DW picks FN, DH picks MN.
2. They have a girl! DH picks FN, DW picks MN.

Also...
For the third birth and every fourth birth after that, one spouse either gets another job along with any they already have OR gets promoted OR does some other thing that gets them a lot of money.
Getting a bigger house
For every promotion, add $50K to the budget and for every new job, add $100K.
They can sell their house for the same price they bought it and buy a new one.
So if their budget was $400K and they got one new job and one promotion, they can buy a house up to $550K
Have fun!!!
