Marriage

June 8, 1876

Frank Butler asked me to marry him, and I, of course, said yes. We're to be married in August, but for now, we are married secretly. i do not wish to have a big wedding immediately, and my mother would go crazy if she found out. Nevertheless, I told her he had asked for my hand in marriage, but not that we were already married. She is going all over the place trying to create the "perfect wedding', but that is months away. I know that the public will know of this as a "wedding in August", and nothing else. Of course, there will be suspicions around, but none of them can be too strong a suspicion, can it? No. We will just announce the marriage in August, and that will be that. No one can tell about this, no one knows, and no one will find anything out.

People have suspected that this couple married before the said time, and that is what i have put, but no one knows for sure, and we do not have enough information to back it up.
