AN: I must've listened to this song at least 3 times in a row, before this little story struck me. Since it's blatantly over 100 words, I've stuck it here.

If you don't like sap or fluff, then you might as well stop reading, 'cause that's all you're going to get.

I do own them.


Surprise!

"If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves.

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side.
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side.
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand and stand by my side.
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea."

- All I Want is You, Barry Louis Polisar


"What do you think, my sweet honey B? Make me the happiest man in the world?"

"I think – yes!"

oOo

Bronwyn thought back to that moment, looking down at the small stone sparkling brilliantly on her left hand, and still didn't believe it was reality. She asked, "What do you think he's planning?"

"I have no clue. Really, I don't. It could be anything."

The wedding day had dawned a bit humid, but otherwise, perfect spring weather. The redhead, resplendent in shimmering white, had no clue what her intended had planned, but two weeks ago he had promised her something truly special for their wedding day. She had laughed him off, telling him that marrying him was all she really needed, but deep down, she was secretly pleased at his vow… She knew that big gestures weren't typically his thing, and that was okay. Maybe some girls had to have the expensive jewellery and flowers, but when it came to what really mattered, her fiancé was always there for her.

oOo

"Do you take this man…?"

"I do."

"Do you take this woman…?"

"I do."

The newly wedded couple looked radiantly at each other and headed down the aisle, hand in hand. Privately, he swept a stray red curl out of her face and whispered, "Can you believe it?"

She wiped a tear away, and kissed his hand, answering, "No."

oOo

Minutes later, after happy pictures, congratulations and well wishes, the couple was ready to exit the church and head over to their reception. Gathering her train in one hand, and clasping tightly to her new husband's hand in the other, the pair opened the church doors.

At that moment, on the street in front of the church, a large mass of drummers and horn players – various members of the wedding party included – kicked off a rousing and memorable cadence.

Bronwyn's eyes widened and she started laughing merrily - one of his favorite sounds in the world.

"I thought we could walk, Mrs. Clarke."

"I would like nothing better, Mr. Clarke."

The duo strolled down the stairs, to the front of the group, and started out to their reception site – a restaurant close to the church. While the photographer snapped madly, traffic stopped and people came out of stores to watch the procession of the makeshift marching band with the strangely attired drum majors at the front of it. When a policeman pulled up to write a citation for a number of civic disturbances, he was quickly detained by guests of the happy couple and invited to the reception for a drink or two…

…but the pair only had eyes for each other and were completely oblivious to the chaos they were causing.
