***changes...no baby situation, which means no concerns for that by John John and Sheryl decide to get married and so they get engaged -they decide to inform their friends and settle in their house -they throw a big party for the “newly to wed” couple but Sheryl has doubts -John is meaning to stand by his fiancé (this is exploring the themes of acceptance and love and faith/confidence in oneself) The engagement -there are many influences in their lives for good relationships so Reveal who these persons are -these are two people who have waited A LONG TIME to get engaged To be sure this is what they want -he has never been the wavering type with Sheryl, Sheryl has always rather been having doubts and she has such a history with other men too before him -friends have always supported their relationship -this Will explore themes of support and learning to develop trust in their relationship All I can say about the hero(ine) is that it’s a tight game of who can overcome their fears and accomplish something maybe overcome emotionally first/most due to what society has set as a true human endeavour; whether the book will address a new challenge to overcome I’m not quite certain, because this will set a precedent on how things should be done differently in societal relationships Their parents did not have an issue with them getting married -they have an aunt on her side that disagrees with the match and they think this because her daughter has a history with dating him -this makes it immoral for Sheryl to get engaged and marry him In Sheryl’s dating history, she met a man at the same time that john came along -he was in the same education career but john was pursuing medicine- perhaps write about the pros and cons of each -another woman was also in love with the man also wanting Sheryl -john’s concern: her leaving once again for another man – but he pushes through and ends up being strong as ever -John is faulted for bringing on the engagement so soon -was she suppose to tell him as he brought on the proposal to stop? -I think these are very valid concerns in a relationship That both sides should have in a circumstance like this -sheryls mom gets sick and this interferes with their love life because Sheryl is planning the wedding but also making frequent visits to see her mom -this will explore themes of family obligation and learning to support each other in a different sphere of influence in Sheryl’s life. These are other concerns and details in the novel: -talking about her parents and the aunt -how did they meet, more revelations of this -if they met in Edmonton, what are some of the details that led to a struggling Relationship? (John’s love interest, truthfulness, loyalty issues) -perhaps a family member other than the aunt had a bad experience and are influencing concerns of marriage to john -this is a very controversial marriage in the novel, details that lead to this
