Their Story
(Chapter 1: Introduction)
2041
She sat down and turned her laptop on – she looked around the house, photos everywhere of them, even before they fell in love. She turned her attention back to the screen and opened Microsoft Word. She paused. She loved reading and writing, so obviously being a biographer suited her. She got to write people's life stories, and loved it – and was good at it. She flipped her long dark hair over her shoulders; put her glasses on and her blue eyes gazed over the screen. This biography wasn't going to sell millions of copies like her last one, but this was sentimental and she was documenting the beginnings of a family history. Hopefully it will be continued one day, but she didn't think it would unless someone from the next generation has her passion for story writing.
She placed her fingers on the keys but then paused again. She had always loved fairytales – her mum used to read her a different fairytale every night, then the worse thing possible happened – her mum ran out of fairytales! So, her dad stepped in, took over that role and managed to invent a new fairytale every bedtime. Her favourites were about princesses and mermaids.

Chandler Bing – only child to Charles and Nora Tyler Bing – was born into a comfortable lifestyle, but this could never make up for the emotional strain of this parents' divorce that would be put upon the young Chandler in his 9th year.
Monica Geller – born to Jack and Judy Geller who had the perfect marriage – would always be in the shadow of her elder brother, Ross. And this sad fact would haunt Monica way into her adult years.
In the year 2000 Chandler Bing married Monica Geller and it was the happiest day of their lives and although this may seem like another love story, another Romeo and Juliet but with a happy ending, but this is not so. Yes, it is a love story or a life story like I like to describe it and it does have a happy ending however, it is well deserved. Chandler and Monica had much heartache through their lives, family pressures to relationship troubles, and they didn't meet and fall in love at first sight – in fact it was the opposite.
However, I'm getting ahead of myself; the best place to start is at the beginning. But since Chandler and Monica didn't meet until their late teens I'm going to start with Chandler's childhood then move onto Monica's…
