Our 5-year-annivesery is coming up, and as a present, I thought of compiling a book of our relationship using blurb.com. I'm going to incoporate over 11 years worth of photographs in it, as well as letters and emails that have been written. It's going to be seperated into two parts - 'the story of us', and the 'scrapbook' area (the latter taking up most of the book). I'm going to write out how we met, became friends, dated, got engaged and so forth...the only problem is, I have NO IDEA how to begin it! We met in Sunday School when we were 8 years old, if that helps. Please, anything you can come up with will be GREATLY appreciated - something besides 'once upon a time there was a boy and girl'. Also, what point of veiw should it be in? I want our kids to be able to read it, so I'm not sure if I want it from my POV, because that leaves his thoughts out- but will it seem too impersonal if I do it from 3rd person? Please, give me ideas!

I'm writing our story as the beginning of the book - the photos and everything will come later. Almost as though the story is a prologue. I don't want it to be written as a letter to him, because I want it to be looked at as an actual story. I just don't know how to start off the introduction...

I want it to start from when we first met (8 years old in Sunday school, I was the new girl and I was instantly drawn to him, and despite him being so quiet I knew that he was going to be a big part of my life), catch all the important events in our life, and have the 'story' end on our wedding day. (I'll make a new book later on of our marriage). What is a good, catchy sentence/ paragraph to start it all off?

that is such a great idea! well, maybe you could start with a picture of you 2 from church. or the first letter or email that was sent? man that is such a cool idea! and maybe flip flop the pov from yours to his or his to yours. that way the reader can imagine how both of you were feeling.

i have self belief you are able to attempt this in diverse ideas, searching on the position you want to take it. you may favor to start up on the starting up and proceed to chronicle each and each of the numerous activities on your courting. Or, you are able to start up with a short truth about what the courting ability to you and flow on from there. How about starting up with a humorous incident out of your adolescence jointly? you're saying you met in Sunday college. Do you imagine your faith had something to do along with your coming jointly? if so, then perhaps you are able to start up there. or you are able to open with some verses of deepest poetry about the courting to seize his interest if you're that way susceptible. i imagine it may help with the attitude issue in case you used the first man or woman for purposes of intimacy yet interspersed it with comments of his that you'll bear in mind or maybe excerpts from/copies of his letters and e-mails so as that they form area of the narrative. issue is that, if the stereotype suits, there are likely more suitable letters and e-mails from you than there are from him ;-) try. i'm particular that the right issue will are available case you relax and picture of it as expressing your thoughts on an particularly own topic about that you recognize more suitable than absolutely everyone else quite of being demanding about the way it is going to finally end up. each and each of the perfect.
