sunday85 asked:
1. Hypothetically, if you and Castle were to get married, would you take his last name?
2. Do you and Castle have "your song"?
3. Is he a good lover? xD
4. Do you want to have kids?

Yes, I would definitely take Castle's name.
I know that a lot of people now choose to keep their own names, or to hyphenate both, but I have always liked the tradition of taking your husband's name. If you love somebody so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with them, then I think it is only natural to want to do so in name as well. To show that you have, against all the odds, found the one person in this entire world who perfectly fills the empty spaces of your heart. I think that it is perhaps the most beautiful tradition of marriage.
Marriage is still a long way down the road for Castle and I, but when we do find ourselves at that point in our lives, I can promise you all that I shall wear the name of Katherine Castle with love and pride.

Our song is One Day Like This, by Elbow.
I was asked this yesterday by kcuona, so I won't go over the entire story again, but please take a look at the question before this one if you would like to know the reason for it being ours.

When you love someone as much as Castle and I love each other, when something in your heart, or mind, or a beautiful jumble of the both is telling you that this is the person who you are supposed to love, that they are the missing pieces of your soul, then every second that you spend with that person is wonderful in ways that you never even imagined to be possible.
There is never a question of good or bad, because when Castle and I make love it is more than just a physical act, more than anything that I have the words to explain.
Love makes everything magical; almost as if true love isn't really an emotion at all, but rather a force of life and light and ethereal wonders. I could spend the rest of my days entwined in Castle's arms and it still wouldn't feel like enough, I would still crave for more.
That is what love does to you, turns your world upside down in the most perfect of ways.

I have always wanted to have children, but for a very long time it was something that I believed would never happen, and I had learnt to accept that.
My life wasn't one in which a baby should be brought into, and I knew that. I was a mess, obsessed with the monsters of my past, unable to even comprehend what it was to feel love. I was married to my job, it never left me, it was all that I thought about. I could barely take care of myself, let alone a child.
But now everything is different, I am different, and that gives me hope for a future that I once too scared to even dream of.
I have always admired Castle for being a truly wonderful Farther, for how dedicated he has been to raising Alexis in the best possible way.
I think that some people choose to be parents, that they steadily grow into the idea as they get older, and they do a brilliant job of it when the time comes. But some people are supposed to be parents, even if the idea is utterly terrifying and they have never so much as held a baby before, they are somehow made perfectly for the role; Castle is one such person. I really am in awe of him as a Father, and of the beautiful young woman that his little girl has become thanks to the love and the happiness that he has offered to her.
I honestly believe that Castle and I will have a baby together, and I cannot wait to share in the great honour of starting a family with a man whom I love with all my heart.
It isn't yet something that we have ever talked about, but I know that Castle has always wanted to have more children, and my own desire to do so grows a little more each day.
I just hope that I can be as brilliant a parent as Castle is, and that together we will raise our baby to be as wonderful as Alexis.
To be continued..
I apologise for my answer to question 3 ..I am still a baby when it comes to that, and I don't believe that it is something you can really write about without having experienced it, so that was the best that I could do. Sorry.
Please let me know what you thought?
& keep sending in any questions that you have (via review or private message - either way is fine).
I have the entire afternoon/evening to myself, so I am hoping to have all of the questions that I have waiting to be answered finished and uploaded today :)
Thank you ever so much for reading,
Katie
