"So, Doctor, when should we get married?" I ask.

"Rose, I would marry you right now. It really doesn't matter to me," he replies.

"Ugh, Doctor," I groan, "are you not going to give me any input at all on this wedding?"

"I'll help! Um, red! Daffodils! Um, San Diego!"

"That's not helpful at all, you're just saying random words!" I complain. I am lying across our bed, surrounded by bridal magazines, absentmindedly flipping through one.

"Fine, I'll help," the Doctor says with a smile.

"Good, because I need your opinion on the season. I was thinking spring..." I trail off as the Doctor lay down next to me, staring at the ceiling.

"No, you're not," the Doctor says, "I am taking you to the hospital, Rose."

"Fine, Doctor. Let's go, I'll call mum on the way."

We walk to our new car, a present from my rich aunt. The Doctor drives through the streets, asking every five minutes if I'm okay. We arrive and the receptionist tells us to wait, it will be around five minutes. We sit. The Doctor puts his arm around me and I lean into his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Rose. I hope your wrist is better by the wedding."

"Doctor, I don't care if it isn't. I don't care if we get married in a pig sty, I love you and that's never going to change,"
