Richard was mesmerized with Joan's beauty and immediately fell in love with her. As for Joan, she was not impressed with Richard because of his horrible dressing sense.
Richard, being a lovesick Romeo, changed his style to get himself noticed. Even after doing so, Richard did not earn Joan's attention.
Then, Richard tried to impress her, showing his wealth and gifted her 'Necker Island,' a 74-acre luxury property on the Caribbean coast.
Unfortunately, Joan was not impressed at all with his grand gesture.
On the contrary, Joan fell for his simplicity and finally got ready to settle down with Richard.
For a decade, Joan and Richard lived together going through all ups and downs but without exchanging wedding vows.
