Day 10
Danny and Alice returned from the their daily call outs and walked up to the house. They had been to the shop and had a number of sweets, they'd bought everyone a bag of their favourite sweets and a few other bits beside.
"Love love these." Alice grinned as she threw some dolly mixture into her mouth.
"Some are ok." Danny commented. "These on the other hand." He grinned holding up his blue raspberry sour bon bons. Alice stole one and pretended to die and go to heaven, Danny chuckled.
"They are the bomb of all sweets!" Alice agreed. "Could eat em all day!"
"Should we steal some of Dupe's chocolate mice?" Danny laughed as he looked inside Dupe's bag.
"Eww no, hate em." Alice spat in disgust, they dropped all the bags on the kitchen table. Alice was rooting around when she found one with friendship rings in. She beamed.
"Mr Trevanion?" Alice asked, looking at him lovingly and deeply. He turned to face her, a smile spreading to his face as her beauty overwhelmed him.
"Mrs Trevanion?" Danny grinned, he watched her as that exclusive look she saved just for him crossed her face.
Alice slowly lowered herself to one knee and held the gummy ring up to him.
"Will you marry me?" She asked, her blue eyes sparkling, she looked up at him seriously, expectation and apprehension in her eyes.
He then beamed that exclusive grin he knew she loved, the one he saved for her. His green eyes, although soft were alive with passion.
"Yes." Danny grinned. Alice beamed her energetic smile back at him and slipped the gummy ring onto his finger (with difficulty due to the small size of the ring and the large size of Danny's hands!), she jumped up and wrapped her arms around her neck as they kissed tenderly.
Danny grabbed a ring from the bag and held it up in front of their faces. He had her left hand in his other hand. He smiled.
"My beloved Alice, do you remember the very first day we met? From the very moment I saw you, I knew you were the one for me, the one that I know I have to spend the rest of my life with. Our courtship was one of the best days of my life, for you have become not just my lover and companion, but also my best friend. I want to be your lover, your companion and your best friend for the rest of my life. I promise to love and cherish you, to keep you close and with faithfulness, to be your prop and helpmate in times of need, to make you laugh and to hold you when you cry, to hold you to the highest respect and honour as you so deserve for the rest of my life." Danny told her slipping the ring onto her finger. She was looking at him with such love, tears in her eyes as the realisation hit her that Danny hadn't forgotten their vows, just as she had, they were imprinted in their hearts forever.
Alice took his hands with both of hers and looked up at him, she decided to say one of her vows to him.
"Many people spend their lives searching for their soul mate, their one true love. Some people are lucky to find the person they can truly call the better half of themselves, while others spend the rest of their lives searching and never finding. I am happy to count myself among the lucky ones, because I certainly found you. I love you, Danny. I know that you are the only one for me, my one true love. I am happy and I am grateful that you came into my life, that where others have spent their entire lives looking for the one, I have found you. And now that I have found you, I shall never let you go. I promise you, Danny, that I shall hold you and cherish you and give you my heart, that I shall support you and care for you. Faithfully, I shall always stand steadfast at your side with your hand in mine, regardless of what life would bring to us. I take you now as my husband, and I shall remain so for the rest of my life." Alice told him, the same raw emotion in her voice as she uttered the words. Danny grinned down at her, both their eyes glittered with tears.
"You may now kiss the bride!" Danny said in a dodgy and low South African accent.
"Kiss the groom sounds better." Alice mumbled as she launched herself at him, they were kissing passionately when Olivia walked in. She rolled her eyes and picked up some of the sweets.
"You still remember?" Alice exclaimed as she held Danny's hand.
"Of course I do... I'll never ever forget them or our day." Danny told her passionately, he noticed Olivia and pressed a chaste kiss to Alice's lips. She smiled at him picking up on his signals and turned.
"I feel sick after walking in on you two kissing like that but am I right in thinking you got me jelly babies?" Olivia grinned, "Cos if you have, I forgive you!"
"We have!" Alice told her. She wiped her eyes, Olivia raised an eyebrow, she then saw the jelly rings on their fingers.
"If you two were on TV and I didn't know you, I'd think you were so cute!" Olivia admitted. "I guess you mean you remember the vows?" Olivia said softly. Alice nodded.
"I'm awaiting the comment about how five year olds get married with jelly rings!" Danny chuckled.
"Hmm, I'm off I'll make a witty comment later... sweets sound good to me!" Olivia laughed as Charlie came running into the room. She yelled sweets and soon the whole family had descended onto the kitchen. Danny and Alice however were far wrapped up in one another.
(Later in Danny and Alice's bedroom)
Everyone had gone to bed some time ago, Danny and Alice were actually the last to go to bed. They'd been sat on the veranda drinking a bottle of wine, both sat together, a blanket covering them lightly as they shared kisses under the African moon. The small ceremony and few words they'd passed between one another had had an effect on them, and both had been wrapped up in the other for the rest of the day.
"Hmm..." Danny smiled watching Alice as she wiped the minimal make-up she wore off her face.
"What?" Alice asked throwing the wipe into the bin.
"You're just amazing." Danny told her.
"I'm not." Alice muttered.
"You are." Danny insisted, he walked up to her from behind and leant down to where she was sitting. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck softly. "Look in that mirror." He mumbled against her skin. "What do you see?"
"I don't know... I guess I just see me." Alice shrugged in confusion.
"You wanna know what I see?" Danny asked her huskily, his breath sent tingles all around her body, Alice was slowly losing her sanity as his hands ran up her arms just once.
"What?" Alice asked intrigued.
"I see the most beautiful, stunning, breath taking woman in the world in my arms. I see my wife with her gorgeous blue eyes, that dazzling smile. I see my future in the mirror. I see the one person in this world who can make all my dreams come true... then I see me!" Danny chuckled.
Alice turned to him tears in her eyes. She reached her hand up and kissed him once, tenderly, softly, passionately.
"You are the most fantastic man!" Alice told him, her voice breaking.
"Your man." He whispered in her ear. "And since I'm your man, your husband, how about since we technically got married earlier we move onto our wedding night." He held up his finger with the gummy ring on. "Plus we need to eat these, make it last... you eat mine, I eat yours."
"Thought you'd never ask." Alice said crashing her lips against his as both took the other into their arms... Perfect end, to a perfect day!
