"Smile" the Doctor beamed.
"I am" Clara whined.
"Yeah but smile...a bit more...you know..." The Doctor trailed off.
"Doctor this is getting silly just take the dam picture !" Clara shouted.
"Ok...and we're ready to take the picture again" he smiled.
"Yeah, well if you didn't insist that I smile more and the fact you didn't buy a modern camera doesn't help, we could have been done by now" she rolled her eyes.
"Well smile correctly next time and modern cameras lack that timeless charm that older models have, older objects have the most history so the older the better" he smiled at her.
"Nerd" she muttered.
"What was that" he shouted from behind the camera.
"Nothing...now get over here so we can take the picture"
He walked over to her muttering something about a 'control freak', which she chose to ignore.
He stood next to her and wrapped an arm around her waist and she wrapped her arm around his waist also.
The camera flashed and before the next picture was taken Clara got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
He blushed just as the camera took the picture.
"Ok are we done taking pictures now ?" Clara whined.
"Just one more I promise, I want to remember this moment for ever" he beamed.
"We can always visit Paris again Doctor".
"Yeah but this is my first time taking you and what better place to take pictures, then on the top of the Eiffel Tower...at night !" The Doctor exclaimed.
"Yeah your right...but just one more ok".
"Well that's a first" The Doctor chuckled.
"Never thought I'd hear Clara Oswald admit I'm right".
"Oi watch it, you big stick insect" she light heartedly laughed.
"Yeah" "yeah" he muttered.
The camera slowly counted down but just before the camera took the photo, the Doctor got on one knee while the sky filled with fireworks spelling out: Clara Oswald will you marry me ?.
She turned her head at the sound of the fireworks and she read the words as the Doctor got on one knee.
She read the words and her heart skipped a beat and once she looked to the Doctor she become speechless.
The Doctor grabbed her hand  and she looked down at him with shock and he looked up at her with awe. Just then the camera took the photo and it saved the most cherished memory of The Doctor's life.
"So, Clara Oswald will you do me the greatest honour of marrying me ?" He spoke, his voice barely even a whisper.
Clara too overwhelmed with emotions, just pulled the Doctor on to his feet and pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss.
After she pulled back he whispered "so is that a yes ?".
"Of course it's a yes !" She squealed.
He slipped the beautiful diamond incrusted ring onto her finger, picked her up into hug and spun her in the air, just before he put her down he whispered "I love you Clara Oswald".
"I love you too" she whispered back.
Just then the sky lit up with thousands of fireworks that exploded with many magnificent colours and far below stood The Doctor and Clara basking in the happiest moment of both their lives.
