A/N: Once again thank you to Kristen for giving me the idea for this story, even though she's written a wonderful version of her own. *hugs*
Daphne's heart raced as she stood at the door. She still couldn't believe that she'd been so lucky to have found the most wonderful man in the world.
But if it weren't for her father, she might never have known just how wonderful Niles Crane really was. The idea that he would go to such great lengths to make her happy was truly amazing.
She knocked on the door, praying that he was home. To her relief the door opened within seconds and she found herself looking into his beautiful blue eyes.
"I want to marry you!" She blurted out.
A boyish smile crossed his face. "I want to marry you!"
"No... I mean, I want to marry you now!"
His eyes narrowed. "Why?"
"Why? Because you'd do anything... Even put up with my insane family to make me happy. Because you'd travel halfway around the world to make my dreams come true... even the impossible ones. And because I can't spend one more second without being your wife, Niles Crane. Because I adore you."
With tears in his eyes, he reached out and caressed her cheek with his hand.
"But-but I thought you always dreamed of having a big wedding."
She took his hands and squeezed gently. "You want to make my dreams come true? This is my dream."
He smiled and brushed away her tears. Then wordlessly he lead her to the door and out into the hallway.
Unable to stop smiling, she took him into her arms and kissed him deeply.
"I love you so much, Niles."
Niles smiled and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I love you too, my angel. Now let's go get married."
