Title: The Saga Of Jenny

Jenny Green, Beloved Wife of Aldroud Claven
I had been playing Ultima Online for about 5 months when I met Jenny. She was a member of the Atlantic Mage Tower, the guild I was in at the time.
One day at the AMT Tower, a dungeon crawl was put together and that's where she and I met. We went off someplace deep and dark and killed bad things and took gold and came back to the Tower having a good time.
Later that week, I was back at the AMT Tower looking for some friends to go dungeon crawling. The Tower was empty except for one person, Jenny. So I asked her, "Would you be interested in going dungeon crawling?"
She hesitated a moment, then said, "Why not?"
As I recall, we promptly began a tradition of Aldroud dies and Jenny resurrects. We got quite good at our roles.
One day, I was being chased by a player killer east of Britain. I slowed when I came into the guard zone and yelled for the guards. The guards whacked the PK and I proceeded to loot my merry way through his belongings.
After loading up on his possessions, I wandered into Britain to gloat. I used the red moongate in the library to transport myself to the AMT Tower so I could sit in peace and count my money.
I walked in to see Jenny talking with another member of AMT.
I sat down and rooted through the loot. Finding a ring, I handed it to Jenny just on a lark.
She took it, hesitated a moment, the said, "Why Aldroud, is this a proposal?"
Turns out, I had handed her an amethyst wedding band. I hemmed and hawed and blushed and we all laughed about it.
We began to play more and more often with each other.
I brought her to the house I shared with Odin and Raistlin and Spudz. We moved some furniture around and now there was room for five. We became best friends, Jenny and me, with Odin, Raistlin, and Spudz forming our little group.
Time went by and we grew closer.
Eventually, I did propose to her. She had become more to me than just a person to play games with and I became more for her, too.
We had a big wedding in Nujelm, in the palace. A lot of AMT folk attended, plus all the friends we had made in UO.
She and I spent almost every night playing. Sometimes, we would stay up till server down just sitting in her seaside cottage talking. We talked about everything and nothing at all for hours on end. She made me laugh and she made me cry.
When I came up with the idea for an Orc Guild, she supported me 100%. She built the webpage for us and kept it up to date. She taught me HTML and how to do things on a computer I never knew.
Jenny was my best friend and I loved her.
Jenny was killed by a drunk driver on November 1st, 2001.
