Tying The Knot Chapter 1, a doctor who fanfic

A/N: Hello there! Okay this is a story that I had been planning for AGES and now I finally had time to start it. It's only going to be a short story but, there is a special song embedded into each chapter to make it more passionate. This is the first chapter with the song 'I'd Wait For Life.' by Take That.

The Doctor looked at his reflection in the full body mirror, inspecting himself all over to make sure everything was just right for the most important day of his life. He smoothed out his hair and straightened his red bow-tie for the hundredth time! He hadn't dressed so formally in so long and it felt odd, it wasn't right but he knew it was for the best. He never expected this day to come for him in the wildest of dreams; he said he would never fall in love but now he finds himself in the holy tradition of matrimony.

There's a place we used to be
There's a face that I used to see
There's a picture with you by my side
There's a moment that I want to find.

Now that he was finally satisfied with himself, he smiled at the reflection reassuringly.

"Perfect..." he said into the mirror.

He stepped out of the wardrobe and headed towards the console room ready to start this new chapter of his story. This chapter was the one he eagerly anticipated for so many months after finding the perfect woman who he loves to the end of the universe. This was the biggest step in anyone's life- especially the Doctor's.

Fate had allowed this to happen so soon, his relationship with her had always been so complex but for once, time was giving him a break.

I don't know where to start
or how to begin
but I know I love you still.

As he walked down the corridors of the TARDIS, he began to wonder what his partner was doing and how she was feeling. He hoped that she was as overjoyed and excited as he was.

He reached the centre of the room and paused just in front of the control panel. His hand gently stroked across the various buttons and switches, the TARDIS let out a melodic chime and he smiled again. She could tell when he was excited, nervous, happy or even in love and he was feeling all at once.

If you ever turn away
If you ever change your mind
If the road ahead becomes too hard to climb
If there's something in your heart that tells you to stop
Oh to hold you close tonight
I'd wait for life.

It was quiet in the control room, so obscurely quiet. Without her there was different- a different that the Doctor didn't like. It was always so full of life and energy with her in the TARDIS, never a dull moment and spending a whole night without her was just an unnatural torture for him. He missed her deeply and desperately wanted to hold her again and that moment will come in due time, he just had to be patient for a little while longer.

There's a voice shouting inside my head
There's a space on your side of the bed
There's a hope everytime there's a sound
There's a silence that's playing too loud

Waking up in the morning without her curled up by his side was something that he hoped he would never have to go through again. He missed her warm and beautiful body lying next to his and waking to her welcoming smile. Each loving memory of her made him more eager to go and see her again, to be with her forever.

I don't know how you are
Or how you may be
But I know I love you still.

The Doctor began to set the co-ordinates of the location of this very important meeting that he cannot and will not be late to. His eyes kept wondering around the rest of the room, searching for her tranquil and limpid eyes gleaming at him but it was just him all on his own. His hearts sank but were soon lifted again in the realisation that he would see her again soon and finally seal his loving bond with her.

The TARDIS began to transport the Doctor towards his destiny and the perfect future he's always dreamed of. His hearts skipped several beats as he neared the love of his life on the most important day of all days. Even the TARDIS couldn't wait to see the woman of the Doctor's dreams again, she could sense the Doctor's wild and mixed emotions buzzing all over the place.

If I close my eyes
I'll dream a little deeper baby
'Cause you are always on my mind
Yeah you are always on my mind
For life.

"I'm coming my love!" he beamed over the rumbling of the engine with the widest of grins. His lover's heart was charting his course more so than the TARDIS co-ordinates.

The TARDIS had arrived safely at his destination and the Doctor skipped excitedly to the door, not believing that this day had finally come. He paused at the foot of the door and done one last minute check of everything, mentally going through the list in his mind. He nodded to himself once he was pleased and his hand reached out in front to his destiny.

If there's something in your heart
That tells you to stop
Oh to hold you close
Oh to hold you close
Tonight
I'd wait for life
I'd wait for life

The Doctor pulled open the doors of his grand time machine and jumped outside almost too eagerly. His smile could light the darkest depths of the universe and his burning love for the woman he was about to marry could melt the ice caps.

The location of the wedding was on a planet called Fleurailles. It was an ecological planet with many races living in perfect harmony. There were dispersed, small but highly-developed cities with many types of vegetation growing all around and the buildings appeared to be made of flowers! The lush, green fields spread far and wide and the church that the wedding was being held at was in the centre of a large field of wild flowers near a quiet beach.

The Doctor leapt up the stone steps of the church and swung open the doors. All of the familiar faces shot him smiles of delight as he entered and started to walk down the aisle to the altar. All of his old friends had gathered to congratulate him on his big day, none of them wanted to miss it.

"Now then, I've got a woman to marry!" he chimed clasping his hands together enthusiastically...
