Lady Gregory completely ignored her daughter's question and just relayed her conversation with Madam Burton: "Mrs. Burton said that although you and Steve are not very old and getting married now is a bit early, since you two are meant to be together eventually, it's better to get married sooner. Even if you want to wait another two years before having a child, that's fine."
"Mrs. Burton also said that since the New Year is coming soon, if we start preparing for the wedding now, it will seem a bit rushed. Plus, she just checked and there are no auspicious dates before the New Year. So it's better to wait until next spring to choose the best date for the wedding. This way, you'll have half a year to get everything ready."
"Oh, and Mrs. Burton also mentioned that although you and Steve cannot get married before the New Year, you should get engaged sooner. That way, the relationship between you two will be announced to the world, and you two can settle down sooner..."
