I smile as I look down at the child-like pyjamas, and I pull the bottoms up, and slip into the t-shirt. I'm actually marrying Evangeline, it all seems so fast, and yet it couldn't feel any better.

My phone vibrates on the night stand, lighting up with the name dad. I decide not to answer it, turning it upside now on hiding the screen, and quietening my notifications.

If there was one thing I was going to focus on right now, it was staying in this night of happiness.

I move myself to the bed resting my back against the headboard, as I hear the water shut off in the bathroom, Evangeline walks out of the bathroom, in a white fluffy towel, and wet hair. Beautiful as always, my eyes follow her as he grabs another gift bag and places it on the bed.

"Stop staring" She blushes, before pulling out her own pair of cartoon themed pyjamas.

"I'm sorry, I can't take my eyes of my soon to be wife" I smile, at the same time she smiles, and throws one of her tops at me, I smile again, as I see her cheeks darken even more.

She picks up her pyjamas before heading back into the bathroom.

"I need to change and my soon to be husbands face is distracting me" I let out a chuckle, as she closes the door behind her. She quick to return dressed in a female set of my pyjamas, her hair a little more dry and in waves, she reaches for a hairband on the side.

"Wait, wear it down, I like it when your hair is down" she places the hair tie on the side and walks over to my side of the bed taking her hand in mine.

"Okay, come with me now" she guides me up before pushing me towards the bedroom door.

"Eyes closed" I follow her instructions hearing the bedroom door open, as she takes my hand and guides me forward, till we come to a stop.

"Okay, you can open them now" I open my eyes, and the mini living room has been transformed into cozy den. The couch is covered in blankets, and the table in front is covered in an arraignment of treats and snacks, the main light is turned off with the room being mainly illuminated with tiny flickering candle lights. I pull her to my side, and plant a kiss on the top of her head.

"Do you like it?" She asks.

"I love it"

She moves me towards the couch at the same time there is a knock on the door.

"That must be room service" She says as she quickly moves to the door opening it up, to a young male waiter.

"Here is you order Ma'am" The waiter says pushing a gold cart into the room, which was covered in plates, and glasses.

"When you're finished, you can leave the tray, just outside you're door" he lowers his head in a small bow, as Evangeline smiles and gives him a tip, before closing the door, and bringing two plates over and collapses on the sofa next to me passing me one plate, of a burger and fries.

"Okay, so we're watching The Holiday, I thought we could spend tonight watching my favourite film, I know it's not Christmas yet, but it's a necessity if we want this relationship to thrive" I smile as she picks up the remote and the sounds of winter wonderland fills the room .
