Robin and Amber are finally read to tie the knot

Robin and Amber got engaged at the beginning of the year, and while they haven't revealed when the nuptials will take place, it sounds like early September is on point. 

On social media, Robin was recently asked about her wedding, with a fan writing: "August brides? Love you RR!" The broadcaster responded: "Not August, but you're close!" 

Robin and Amber are now headed off on separate weekends away

The fan then replied: "There are only 4 remaining after August!" September would indeed mark a special month in their relationship as it is when they went on their first date. 

Robin previously addressed that initial date when she described it on social media in an anniversary post. "I met you for drinks on a blind date that both you and I tried to cancel...twice," she wrote.
