The Holiday marriage is pretty interesting to me.
Noelle implies Carol takes charge on the decorating which makes me believe she is the moneyed side of the family. Noelle also describes "Holiday family ninja style" in newest girl girl, and Carol is a ninja, so it seems like Holiday is Carol's maiden name? Which means Rudy took Carol's name.
So with that all in mind, what did Carol see in Rudy?
Is his sack game just that good?
Did she envision him as a stay at home dad?
Did Carol have parents or other family who were concerned about Rudy as a marriage candidate? That seems to be a thing more often in Old Money families. Non-old-money guys fight a very uphill battle to not be scene as a bum. How did Rudy manage, or did Carol just not give a fuck? How deep is her love for him then?
Many questions that will probably never be answered.
