Present day

"Minnie! Your maid of honour has arrived!" Daisy trilled as walked through the door. She walked towards Minnie's bedroom, carrying her bridesmaid dress and tiara.

"How's the blushing bride to be?" Daisy asked as she embraced Minnie "nervous yet?"

"Not a chance Daisy Duck." Minnie laughed.

"Oh but you're not even ready yet! Your hair is a mess! Minnie mouse what will I do with you?"

Daisy sat her down in front of the mirror "Luckily you've got me here to sort things out. The hairdresser is arriving in twenty minutes, I'll be doing your make up and Clarabelle will be over with the flowers in a hour."

"Oh Daisy, I couldn't do this without you."

"Of course you couldn't! Now sit still and let me get you ready. Where's your wedding dress?"

"Hung on the back of the door." replied Minnie.

"Well let's get this day started with a bang!" Daisy pulled out a bottle of champagne and two flutes.

"Oh Daisy you rebel! You'll have me drunk on my wedding day!" Minnie giggled

"Oh lighten up! It's your day, so enjoy yourself!"

Two years previous

The table had just been cleared. Mickey and Minnie looked over at each other adoringly. The candles had almost burnt down to the wick, the three courses were finished and it would soon be time to leave.

Mickey still hadn't plucked up the courage to ask her yet.

He was running through the many different ways he could do this, all of them wrong. It had to be memorable, but not too public. The last thing he wanted to do was pressure Minnie into making a decision.

Maybe he could slip the ring into her champagne? But then there was a chance she could choke!

Maybe he could ask the waiter for help? But then it was too public!

What if he waited till they got home? No, it had to be here, in the right place with the romantic atmosphere.

Mickey briefly wondered why it was so important to him. There was no doubt in his mind that Minnie felt the same way about him, would there be a chance she would say no to him?

Their relationship had stood the test of time, they had survived the many problems that most couples had.

Just the thought of rejection made him break out into a cold sweat.

"Oh Mickey, tonight has been so romantic. But you still haven't told me what the occasion is?"

Mickey gulped and but on his best poker face "no reason, I just wanted to spoil my special lady."

The waiter hovered near the table and Mickey called him over. "Two glasses of champagne and the bill please kind sir."

"Of course sire."

"Mickey! You can't afford that!" Minnie gasped.

Mickey smiled "nothing's too good for my gal."

Minnie blushed the same colour has her bow. Tonight had been absolutely perfect, there was nothing that could spoil this night for her.

The champagne arrived and Mickey was running out of time. He watched Minnie look dreamily out of the window and got an inspiration. He discreetly paid the bill, stood up and gave Minnie her glass.

"Would madam care to join me outside?" Mickey asked while offering his arm.

"Why certainly, good sir." Minnie giggled.
