On May 26, 2022 ( the 7 year anniversary of Rich and Gary's first date) Gary came home to find the cats, Missy and River, wearing fancy collars. Gary noticed immediately when he walked in the door and asked, "Why are they wearing collars?" Rich responded with "River has a question for you". As Gary walked over to River he saw that on River`s collar there as a tag with the question: " Will you marry my Daddy?"
