The wealthy Cullen family owned a worldwide magazine known as Twilight and a local newspaper known as Eclipse that's been around for more than five generations.
The patriarch of the Cullen clan is Carlisle Cullen. He's the only child of his late parents Eleanor and George Cullen. Carlisle, also known as the golden boy, during his 20s was a ladies' man before finally settling down with the woman of his dreams, Esme Platt, now Cullen.
Esme Platt grew up on the rough side of Forks. The only child of Mary and Walter Platt, Esme was the golden girl, not to the state of Washington, but just to her parents. Now she and her husband preside over Twilight and Eclipse. She designed the interior of the Cullen offices and she's the head of the advice column. Although Carlisle has the final say over what will be published in the newspaper and magazine, he always consults his wife. He values her opinions.
Emmett Cullen, their oldest child is the head of the sports section. His younger sister, by a year, is the head of the arts and entertainment section. Alice's husband, who is also Emmett's best friend, is Jasper Hale. He's in charge of the international news. Jasper's younger sister and Emmett's wife is Rosalie Hale, who is the head of the cover page stories.
Jasper and Rosalie Hale, children of Diana and the late Ezra Hale, knew the worth of a dime. They weren't raised with the best things, and they never complained. Jasper had to get a job early in life after the death of their father, who was the breadwinner in the household. His father trusted him to care after his mother and sister. His first job was as a busboy at a restaurant that closed down a few years ago. After her house almost foreclosed, Diana sought out a job and was soon hired by Esme as the health section columnist. Diana being hired was the first step towards Jasper and Rose meeting Emmett and Alice.
Alice and Jasper have been married for 17 years, and have been together for 20. Together, they have three children, 17 year old Claire and 14 year old twin sons named Peter and Collin. Rosalie and Emmett have been married for 16 years, and have been together for 19. Together, they have four children, 16 year old Joshua, 14 year old Samuel, ten year old Jared and five year old Lillian. The Cullen-Hale family are a close knit group who stick together through it all. They overcome challenges and remain headstrong as they're faced with obstacles, hopefully this is just another obstacle they can overcome.
