I Will Love You Endlessly (Sequel to i dare you to love me)

Part 14

"Have you finalized the menu?" Dan asks, not looking up from yet another spreadsheet he's made in Google Docs to keep the two of them on track for all of this planning. It's gotten to the point where he's starting to want to make spreadsheets for everything; he senses an intervention may be necessary soon.

"Yup." Phil shuts his laptop, crawling over to lie by Dan's side, resting his head in his lap. "And you've finalized the flowers and we both finished up with the schedule. All we have to do now is work on our vows."

Dan smiles a little. They decided early on that instead of going with traditional vows, since there's nothing traditional about a florist and a Radio 1 DJ's love for each other, that they're going to write their own vows. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm just about finished with mine," he says, shutting his laptop so Phil doesn't get any ideas. "I sent a rough draft to Louise last night, and she cried."

"You've really got to stop making Louise cry," Phil says with a chuckle. "But if I do say so myself, my vows are definitely going to make Louise and you cry," he says with confidence, but there's still a part of him that's a tad anxious. The pressure is on to write something really good, but it's harder than he thought to compose his love for Dan in just a few words.

He's not a writer, nor does he have a way with words; unlike Dan, who can spew beautiful metaphors and phrases into convoluted but eloquent explanations of everything from how to properly care for sunflowers to his love for Phil.. He knows that even if Dan comes up with something more poetic than he does, he'll love whatever Phil comes up with. But he's definitely putting pressure on himself to write something perfect, because Dan deserves it. He can only hope for the best as he tries to put his thoughts and feelings into words - and that he doesn't stutter when he finally goes to read them.
