INPUTS: Replace the bracketed text below with relationship to the couple; initials; pronunciation notes; three true memories; requested speaking length; tone; excluded topics. Use 'not stated' for missing facts. [Paste checked inputs here.] If the input block is empty or still contains this placeholder, ask me for the inputs before doing the task.
