So riddles are fun and really distracting... so mike thought that we should have a thread for them. Just write the riddle, and put the answer under a hide box. Everybody can add more when they hear them, and go through and do other peoples.
So, to start,

March is a place in England, so they were born in the town of March in the month of April. They are both twenty (the other is twenty too). One is a preist who presided over his brothers marriage (therefore he married him)

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future
that year by year recedes before us.
It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we
will run faster, stretch out our arms further...
And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current,
borne back ceaselessly into the past.

As a little kid you believed in fairytales,
that fantasy of what your life would be: white dress; prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.
You closed your eyes and had complete and utter faith.
Eventually you grow up. One day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears.
But the thing is, it's hard to let go of that fairytale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.
