Hello wedded!
Now that I have figured out I'm gonna join here I would love to figure out some lines for this guy.
Meet Ben Lowe, 28 year old New York native. He is currently working his last year of residency as a pediatric with a specialty at Cancer and Blood Disorders. (still need to figure out at which hospital) He is a widower but has started dating again. He met his wife in the year between high school and college and fell madly in love, the typical true love story but with a sad ending as she got behind the wheel drunk and died in a car accident.
His whole life, Ben has been working hard to be the best at everything, both school, at home and on the field as he played Football for most of his school life, where it was also expected from his dad that he would become a pro-footballer, Ben just wanted more than that. Due to all of this he was popular in school and had a lot of friends, so anyone around his age who grew up in NY would most likely know him. there is more about him in his bio here but I need to tweak it a little.

I'd love to find some ex's from high school, people he has dated since his wife died but it didn't work out, friends, co-workers, people who are related to his deceased wife... anything!

I also still need to figure out a premade, so if anyone have any good ideas I'd love to hear it.

	jennie's mother was killed by a drunk driver when she was ten years old so they would have that sort of tragedy in common. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	they would, except with his wife she was the one drunk and luckily only killed herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	do you think he'd join a support group or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hadn't thought of that but that actually sounds very likely! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hmm, what was his wife like? did you have a preference on what she looked like/her ethnicity? i'm tempted to offer pera as one of her relatives, like a cousin. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I hadn't decided anything about her other than the fact that she was named Cathrine Lowe (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gotcha. well, pera's dad's side of the family are a mix of things, mainly english and mexican, so we could possibly say that she was maybe like a second cousin to cathrine? when did she die? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	benlowe 2011-12-11 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	she died when she was 23, so 5 years ago now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pera 2011-12-12 02:43 am UTC (link)
	alright, well pera's been in the city for ten years. maybe if they were distant cousins, they started to get to know one another back then and she could have gotten to know your guy as well? she's more of the tough love type, but she's absolutely loyal to family so she would have been there for him during his mourning period.

	Yeah we could say that she started getting to know Cathrine maybe a year or two before she died, then she would of course get to know Ben as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I would love to work out something! the only thing they might have in common is probably a darker thing - two years ago jane was the cause of a drunk/high car accident that severely injured her sister - she's since gone to rehab and turned her life around but there might be something to be had!

	benlowe 2011-12-12 10:49 am UTC (link)
	Then we just gotta think of how they met through that. Do you have any good ideas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hmm. would he have gone to any sort of Al-anon meetings because of his wife before or after she died? or any sort of random meeting like that they could have met at? (Reply to this) (Parent)
