BIOGRAPHY
Mortimer Chaplin was a successful chef owning his own restaurant in London, England. He was tall, dark and handsome your typical romcom guy but for him, he wasn’t looking for love. At the beginning, it wasn’t about that for him. Mortimer was twenty-six, and wasn’t looking for love as cooking was his one true love and why would he when he was already so successful? Owning his own business, making good money and owning a beautiful flat in his favorite city. However, those thoughts all changed when he was set up with a beautiful women by a mutual friend who thought he needed to get laid. Starting off as a joke, Mortimer finally got up the courage to go out on his blind date with Whitney Grayson, a twenty-five year old who was a prima ballerina at the time.
The first date was a bust since he thought it was a joke, but then later on asked her out again and asked her to give him another chance. After going on a few more dates, the two started to go on more and they started to fall for one another. Mortimer was funny and became a different person around Whitney. Usually he was always so focused on work and the restaurant, but Whitney had gotten him to loosen up and vise versa. They brought out the best in one another. Fast forward to a few years, they were in love and both living together. Whitney still preforming a show every night, Mortimer still having his restaurant be so successful, the two got engaged at age twenty-nine. It was a beautiful wedding filled with friends and family, and the two couldn’t of been more in love.
After getting married, Mortimer and Whitney deiced to move to the states and so they decided on the city that never sleeps, New York, New York. Whitney was still a prima ballerina, now dancing every night for the New York City of Ballet, and Mortimer owned another restaurant on the Upper East side making more money than he already had, and the two were enjoying the married life. It wasn’t until one night that Whitney figured out she was late, and even though it was soon, Mortimer really couldn’t wait to become a father. He loved Whitney and couldn’t wait to start a family of their own. On a cold December morning, the 5th to be exact back in 1987, Whitney and Mortimer had welcomed their first and only child into the World. A beautiful baby girl, they decided to name her Sydney James Chaplin. To them, Sydney was perfect, to them, Sydney was the best thing that’s ever happened to them. They loved her more than anything. She was an exact replica of Mortimer, and Whitney couldn’t of been happier. Sydney was everything they wanted.
Growing up in the city that never sleeps, Sydney’s life felt like a dream. They lived in a pent house on the Upper East Side, and her back yard was Central Park. She loved every minute of it, she was a good kid who never got into trouble. Always getting straight A’s in school, had a good group of friends and enjoyed reading and writing in her free time. They vacationed in a small town called Somerton in Maine, where they had a house right on the beach. Life seemed pretty perfect for Sydney, however it wasn’t until her 11th birthday that things changed forever. It wasn’t until her 11th birthday that she and her parents were coming home from her family’s restaurant, and a drunk driver had hit their family car. Mortimer and Sydney were perfectly fine, however, Whitney was not. Sadly, Whitney did not make it and passed away on impact, leaving Sydney without a mother. It was one of, if not the worst night of Sydney’s life. Growing up without a mother was a little hard, but her father had soon become her best friend and they took care of each other.
Mortimer watched Sydney grow up into a beautiful, and successful and hardworking women. She finished grade school, and high school with straight A’s and at the top of her class. Went to Harvard University to study English and Business, graduated again with the top of her class. After graduating with a degree in English and Business under her belt, Sydney decided to move out of her apartment in Manhattan, and open a business in Fie Island, New York where she spent her summers as a kid as family members such as cousins and aunts and uncles lived there. It was always her dream to open up a Bed & Breakfast, and run it and that’s exactly what she did. Sydney has also taken an interest up in running a blog called Sydney Said so, along with a podcast called Coffee Talks. She keeps in touch with her father, and visits from time to time.
