A/N: My first attempt at writing for Miranda, but after the finale episodes, a few scenes popped into my head and I had to write them down; so I've decided to take the plunge! Each chapter will depict a different even in Miranda and Gary's life, and it will probably be chronological, chapter 1 occurring the morning after their wedding. Enjoy! :)
Miranda woke with an unfamiliar, yet comforting weight around her waist. She intertwined her fingers with his, and rubbed her thumb over the back of his hand. "Is it your intention to wake me up, Mrs Preston?" She turned his Gary's arms, and beamed at him, feeling more than a little bit giddy that she was now married to the love of her life. "It wasn't, but now you're up, we might as well make the most of it." He growled, and immediately began a line of kisses down her neck.

The newlyweds enjoyed, not brunch, but a late breakfast, while they discussed their plans for the day. Gary took hold of Miranda's left hand and stroked the engagement ring that he'd placed there on their return to the flat the night before. "I think wedding ring shopping should be top of the list, don't you?" She smiled. "Are you sure you want to take me back there?" He leant over the table and kissed the tip of her nose. "I'll hold your hand the whole time, to make sure you don't get us into any trouble." She chuckled, and kissed him. "I love you." "I love you too. And I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you." "That doesn't matter now." "I don't deserve you." "Well you're stuck with me now." "You have no idea how happy that makes me."

"So, Mrs Preston, how did ring shopping go?" Miranda grinned as she entered the shop, Gary having popped into the restaurant to see how things were going on the first day without him since he'd taken over. "It was fine, thank you very much. We managed a whole three hours in public without incident." "Well done! Proud of oo!" Miranda did a little bow. "Thank you Sire." "Are you honeymooning?" "We were thinking maybe Paris. Not sure when though." She shouted through from the kitchen, where she was making them both a cup of tea. "How does next week sound?" She hadn't heard Gary come in. "Really?" "Really. They seem to be fine without me next door. I think they could cope for a little while longer." He gave her that smile that melted her heart, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. He ran his hands up and down her waist as he responded to the kiss, just as Stevie emerged from the office behind the counter. "Eeerggh! This is a public space! I know you're all loved up and newlywed, but could you at least do that-" She pointed her finger disapprovingly. "-upstairs please!" "Sorry Stevie." They mumbled in unison.

They arrived in Paris the following week. On their second night, Gary had booked them into a posh restaurant for dinner. Just before they left the hotel room, he took Miranda's hand, and pulled her up from the chair to stand in front of him. "Before we get going." He pulled a small velvet box from his pocket. "I picked these up yesterday." Their rose gold wedding rings sat inside. She grinned at him as he took her ring and placed it on her finger, before doing the same with his ring. "Well then Mrs Preston. I think that makes it official, don't you?" She giggled, and sealed the deal with a kiss.
