@fsulinz, @laineyvb131 and I spent entirely too much time mapping out what we know and putting in things that likely happened. The only thing that is off for sure is that their anniversary trip aired in January/February 2015 and we have them getting married in November 2014. We totally rationalize this by saying that Elizabeth’s new job may be difficult to find time for a trip on their actual anniversary and then rhe holidays happened so they went after the first of the year. 😁😉
