Annie pushed Gregory into marrying her tonight, and he demanded to know why she wanted it to be so sudden.

Gregory told her even though he could understand her wanting to be a June bride, there was no way they could pull off a wedding in this short of time. Annie convinced Gregory that they could get married in Las Vegas and people do it all the time and added how much she has always wanted to be Mrs. Gregory Richards.
