Planning for a wedding was going to be a lot of work. She knew this and yet she probably didn't know how difficult it was going to be. At least, not yet. Raven hardly knew where to begin. Surely there was a book she could read that would give her a little bit of insight, or maybe a checklist. There wedding was going to be small. It wasn't like they were going to have a ton people coming to see them get married. The staff would be invited of course, they were much a part of their little family, as to their cherished Alpha and novice Were Henry. With self-assurance her closest friends would attend their ceremony. It would be an exciting moment in their lives and she was extremely eager to get everything in place. The lupine could hardly wait. The proposal only occurred a few days ago and already her stomach was filled with butterflies of anxiety and excitement. These photos were a wonderful gift, a gift that she would always cherish, and a gift she could happily show off! Happily she walked beside him with her hand enclosed with his own, squeezing it gently in a reassuring manner, as her thumb brushed along the back of his hand in a comforting and content manner. His suggestion about the gardens I the east being the scene for their ceremony was met with an enthusiastic nod.

"We can afford to do the East Gardens, Tetra has reassured me over and over again, that he is going to pay for everything. I think the gardens would be good for us."

She enjoyed the outdoors as much as her mate did. If they got married in the spring the possibility of the weather being good was high. The amount of guests would be small, and being in the gardens would be intimate enough. The price of renting the gardens would be high, but for a wedding the cost would increase dramatically, and that simply was unfair. However, Tetradore had assured her time and time again that he was paying for the wedding, no matter the cost. Her mate deserved a reward for figuring out their place, and so, as they went up the escalator she planted a gingerly sweet kiss on his lips. As she broke their kiss she beamed quite proudly at seeing how she was taller than him, such a rare thing indeed. Giggling she patted the top of his head, never before having touched it when they were standing, finding it quite comical. As they stepped offer the escalator she heard his baffled voice state his inquiry. One eyebrow was raised as she silently threw him a 'you know what I mean' look.

Moving away from the escalator the lupine lead the leopard towards the other end of the mall to get to the jewelry store she knew about. As they walked by the various shops she noticed the maternity store. One blue-grey eye rolled over towards him and then back at the store. As a Mother pushed a stroller past them Raven looked down to the floor with a grown. As society dictates once you get married you start building a family. That opportunity wasn't for them, and even if it was, would Tobias be interested? Raven knew she would strive to be the best mate and wife to Tobias. Unfortunately there was one thing she would not be able to do and that was to produce him a child of their very own. Even if they could have a family, how would she be able to raise it on her own? The she-wolf knew that her childhood awful. Tobias could hardly remember his own and didn't come from a stable environment. Raven didn't know much about Tetradore's childhood to know if he would know what to do or not, same with Henry. Being a Mother sounded quite frightening. What if the child held her feral condition? How could she live with herself knowing she cursed it? Releasing his hand she began to fret, grabbing her fingers, twisting and turning them in her nervous habit. Muttering softly she looked up at him as they entered the store.

"Oh...um...no, we haven't. I...we...I don't think it's possible for us to have children, because we're not the same species. Besides, it takes more than one person to raise children, and you aren't always...here."

She didn't blame him for that. It wasn't his fault. It wasn't anyone's fault that he was the way he was. However, he would blame himself, but there was no reason to. Stopping in place she took her hand and caressed it against his face, giving him a small smile, as her hand stopped at his cheek. She needed to assure him that all was well.

"But...that is okay, because I'm happy with our little family. I have you and Tetradore, and Henry...Sera, Isolt, Dorian, and Alexis. We already have our family, and that is all that matters."

Their little family may not be perfect, but they were ideal for each other. Placing a kiss on his cheek she took his hand leading him to the male section of the store. Heading over towards counters nodding in agreement about the idea of no gold. This was a ring that they could not lose, and she would have to tell this to his other half, hoping he'd understand. It would be questionable and a topic of conversation if others noticed how her mate hardly ever had his wedding band on. Raven would know he lost it, but others might think he was cheating on her. Moving away from the cases that contain gold she searched for that particular metal he desired. Finding the case that contained those metals she silently gestured towards him to come over. Blue-grey eyes would look at the various rings of different design and sizes.

"I think platinum is a very good choice. Look this one appears to have a darker finish in the middle, and this one has groves, and then this one has ridges. They have a really nice selection of this metal."
