Would be the greatest gift for me and my hun!

MARRYiot she’s the one.

I know that my lover meant well
But what I really wanted was to relax at the Marriot Hotel!

We are sole-mates, best friends and each other’s lust.

Just one thing you need to do
Buy to airfares for me and you!
August 30, 2009 at 9:11 am
Romantic novels may be corny
I prefer them to my laundry
While five senses play and dream
Polkadot and Marriot set OUR theme
August 30, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Romance?? Don’t know about that
10 years of marriage got me nothing but fat
4 kids later and I need a rest
Why not at the Marriot it’s simply the best!
August 30, 2009 at 3:25 pm
My darling husband, every moment with you is joy.
Though times now are dark, I can weather any storm with you by my side -
Let this escape be an escape from our troubles,
And a celebration of the future that will soon be here.
August 30, 2009 at 5:45 pm

August 31, 2009 at 2:36 am
Girlfriend and I, need a break
A romantic night for 2
The laws won’t allow us to marry here
