The day has come for the first day of rehearsals for The Secret Garden.
Ramin & Sierra get ready, before getting the children ready & fed & off to school.
When Ramin & Sierra arrive at rehearsals, they greet the other cast members and crew, before taking a seat.
Not long afterwards, the director stands in front of everyone to welcome them.
"Hello everyone & welcome to The Secret Garden! I'm really excited about this whole project & I really hope you all are as well. Today, the aim is to get to know each other & sing through some of the songs with the piano," the director announces.
"But before I let the musical director take over, let me introduce our principal cast to everyone," he continues.
Pointing to Ramin, he says, "Ramin Karimloo is returning to the role of Archibald Craven."
The rest of the cast applauds & Ramin acknowledges them.
The director then points to Sierra & says, "Sierra Boggess is also returning to her role of Lily Craven."
Again, the cast applaud & Sierra acknowledges them.
The characters of Mary, Colin & Dickon are then introduced & Ramin & Sierra go over to chat to them.
After a few moments of chatting, the director introduces the musical director to the cast & asks if Ramin & Sierra would like to perform 'How Could I Ever Know?' as they have done it before.
Obviously, they oblige.
As Ramin & Sierra perform, the cast watch in awe at their beautiful chemistry.
When they finish, they look into each others eyes, forgetting for a moment that they're not alone, until the cast & crew begin to applaud & cheer.
"Wow!" their director exclaims. "That was beautiful! You two have some great chemistry, but I mean, I've never seen it like THAT before! That was something else!"
Ramin & Sierra can't help but giggle, as Sierra pushes her hair behind her ear with her left hand, showing her engagement ring without realising.
The director notices this & says, "excuse me for being nosy, but that's one lovely engagement ring, Sierra. Who is the lucky fella?"
Ramin & Sierra look at each other, before she says, "Ramin & I are getting married the week before the show."
The whole room erupted into screams, cheers & applause.
"Oh my gosh!" the director exclaims. "Congratulations! Well that explains the a-ma-zing chemistry!"
Ramin & Sierra laugh & look at each other as Ramin puts his hand on Sierra's hip & pulls her close to his side.
"What an exciting time! You must both be very happy," the director tells them.
"We are, thank you Sir," Ramin replies.
"Right, come on then, let's get this show on the road!" the director announces.
And with that, the director splits the cast into their appropriate groups to rehearse some songs, & Ramin & Sierra support each other with their roles throughout the whole process.
From this day onwards, rehearsals for The Secret Garden happen four days a week for the next five months, although Ramin & Sierra manage to finish the rehearsal process a bit sooner so that they have time to focus on their wedding.
So for the next few months, Ramin & Sierra manage to juggle rehearsals, wedding planning & caring for their children (with help from their parents & childminders).
Well of course they manage. They're Rierra.
Rierra can manage anything!
