"Ever after" with a time limit. If you actually google as someone suggested, the third hit is for the divorce proceedings.

Wrong marriage. They are still married today and had four children.

"had" or "has"? Huge difference! I will assume "has".

Edit: oops, yeah, "have", not "has". My bad. :P

Arguably Melissa had four and thus they have four, eh?

“Have” is the word you are looking for, “has” isn’t grammatically correct. However, “had” in past tense is also correct, as it refers to the fact that they were born in the past, it does not imply (as you seem to be saying) that the children aren’t alive anymore.

The heart-warming gem: > I sent a note about these Easter eggs to Scott Corley [the game's developer]. He said that he had recently pulled out the game to show the marriage proposal to his son. But he’d forgotten the code and couldn’t make it work! He and Melissa did indeed live happily ever after.

The old trope of forgetting your wedding anniversary cheat code.

At least we know he’s not cheating

The latter link is referring to different people.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, you're right. Deleted the false divorce link ;)

It even says Corley, [Actual first name] Scott (Scott as middle name).

Ah, 2025, where people can't even pay attention to the order of words any more.

We got around this by keeping the same number but swapping the months out. Started dating in August, actually got legally married same month, but the ceremony was in October all of the same day. I used the cheat code of familiarity to never forget.
