Una and Everett didn't wait long after their eventful proposal before getting straight to the wedding planning. They even ran ideas by each other while Una stayed with Everett during his recovery, but as soon as he was fully better they started planning in earnest.
"It's April. If we start now, I think we can have everything ready by July," Everett said.
He was busily making a list of all the things he and Una would have to arrange before the big day.
"Oh, yes!" Una brightened, her face barely visible over an armload of style magazines she had gotten for bridesmaid dress inspiration. "I'd love a summer wedding. We could get married on a beautiful sunny day...."
"But maybe we'll have it indoors?" suggested Everett with a bit of a wince, glancing down at his still-tender knee. Una laughed and agreed.
"They have the cutest styles for summer dresses," said Una as she leafed through the top magazine. "I think I'll ask some of my friends I've acted with to be bridesmaids - and Kaitlyn too, do you think she'd like that?"
"She'll love it," Everett said. "She can't wait for our wedding. She'll be thrilled to be in the wedding party!"
Both of them agreed they wanted a wedding that was fairly big, but not too big. They both had a lot of people they knew from acting or film school who they wanted to be there, and in Everett's case a lot of extended family. "I hope we can find an indoor venue that's big enough," remarked Everett with a slight frown, as he scrolled through a search on his computer.
"We will," Una said, her head still buried in a style magazine. "Hmm... I wonder if Mother has any ideas. I don't really know much about what her and Father's wedding was like." She frowned thoughtfully. "I wonder why I've never asked her."
"Why don't you go see if she has any ideas now?" Everett suggested. "I might not be very good company for a while." He gestured to the long list of possible venues he'd found.
"You're always good company," Una told him, standing up and giving him a kiss on top of his head, still inclined towards the computer screen. "But okay. I'll see you later."

A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking forward to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's Day plans were on me," she said. "Next year I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of next year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's Day together next year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I love you, Una," he said.
"I love you too, Everett," she said.
