It did sound pretty perfect, I couldn’t deny that.
“And what about the wedding?” I asked. “When should we do that?”
“I was thinking in the spring or summer,” he said thoughtfully, “after the rainy season, of course, but before it gets too hot to go outside.”
“That’s only a few months away,” I noted with a small level of panic in my voice.
Weddings were a big affair and required so much meticulous planning that I knew I wouldn’t be able to pull it off in a matter of months. He had a very rich, upper class family, and I knew it wouldn’t be seen as acceptable if we just went to a field with a priest and said our vows. I personally thought nothing sounded better than a simple ceremony—it wasn’t the party I cared about, it was the part where I would marry Adrian.
“Stevie,” Adrian said, looking down at where I was laying in his arms, “it doesn’t have to be a big thing, so please don’t think about it too much. I know you’d rather have a small wedding, and whatever you want, I will make work.”
“But your family—”
“Will get over themselves,” he cut me off. “You are my family as well; in many cases, more so, and it’s supposed to beourday, not theirs. All that matters is marrying you.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
It didn’t escape me that once again, he was making everything much more perfect than it had any right to be, that he had never given me reason to doubt him, and in our years together, he had never broken my heart. We’d never had an issue we couldn’t solve. It would all be alright. Everything would be okay. We’d have a small wedding, maybe in the woods behind our house, and then a meal with our family as the reception. I couldn’t think of anything better.
“Our honeymoon, then,” I kept going, “where should that be?”
“Somewhere cold,” Adrian said immediately. “Somewhere we can ski or go sledding or just play in the snow during the day and spend our evenings in front of a fire, just like this.”
“You just want somewhere for us to be in a small cabin with no one but each other for company and no choice but to fuck like rabbits for fun!” I accused, slapping him lightly on the stomach.
“Is there anything wrong with wanting to spend two weeks with my beautiful fiancé, just after she becomes my beautiful wife, honoring her body and holding her close like I promised to do all along?”
I laughed at his cheesy expression but thought about how wonderful that would really be.
“No, you goof, there’s nothing wrong with that.” I smiled happily. “Nothing at all.”
