After our first date on October 6th, we continued to date and became an exclusive couple. Within a couple of weeks we were talking about a wedding date (yes it was soon, but it was right) The date was finally decided and we booked the Temple's. Planning was hard because I didn't have a ring and we didn't want to tell anyone without a ring. We did finally tell my mother. She was thrilled and offered Richard a loan so he could get the ring and start the planning. He told her that he had a plan though.
