Rumples POV
3 days until the wedding and I need to get a move on.
My suit has arrived and is hung up on the spare room.
Granny's sorted all the food and drink so we don't need to worry about that.
Currently I'm on my way to the venue.
I make my way to the clearing and notice that notice that people have been here. There is a very large white piece of material hammered into to the ground where we will place the chairs for the few people coming to sit on. I checked over the old well for myself and made sure it's completely safe for Belle and I too stand on whilst Archie takes us through the ceremony. It looks stunning already and we've hardly done anything.
Now for what I came to do.
I waved my hand and green swirls floated out. If we want everything to go perfect I have to make sure there are no complications. My protection spell whirled all around the clearing, before whirling away into nothing. There, now nothing unwanted can come and ruin our day.

Belle POV
"Ready yet?' Ruby's excited voice sang through the curtain.
I stared at myself in the mirror. I breath in, my hands straightening the dress.
It's breath taking.
The top is sleeveless, going down into a v shape. The skirt puffed out a little, going all the way down to the floor. It's not super puffy like a meringue, just a little bit so it's not straight down. It also glitters slightly when I move.
A happy tear runs down my cheek.
I look, so....different.
"Ugh come on!"Ruby's voice makes me snap back to earth and I wipe away the tear and smile like I should be.
Un-drawing the curtain, I step forward.
Ruby stepped back and gasped putting her hands to her mouth.
"What? Doesn't it look right?" I asked timidly, looking down at myself.
"Belle, you look....well I don't think there is a good enough word to describe how you look right now!" She started to tear up.
I gulped down tears and hitched up my skirt and stepped toward her,wrapping my arms around her.
"You look beautiful," she sniffed squeezing me.
"Thank you..." I whisper.
Ruby pulled away, wiping her tears and mine.
"What are we like eh Belle? Now, come on! We shouldn't be crying! We should be celebrating!" She laughed.
"Yes yes you're right, I love you Rubes," my eyes bursting with gratitude.
"Love you to Bells."

Rumples POV
I sigh and lean back on my chair in the back room of the shop.
What to do for our honeymoon....
I can't exactly whisk her away anywhere can I...
My mind feels blank. What can we do that's special?
Well maybe if we can't go anywhere, I can bring anywhere, here.
That's it.

Belles POV
Ruby dropped me off at home at nightfall.
I waved at her before slipping into the warm house.
Mhh, Rumples lit those cinnamon candles.
"Hey sweetheart," he called from the kitchen.
"Hey," I walk into the living room/kitchen, another smell hitting my nose.
"Mhh, what's that?" I can hear the low buzz of the oven cooking something.
"That, would be roast beef," Rumple smiled, placing a lid on top of what looked like chopped up carrots.
"Smells amazing!" I slip my coat and bag off and slide up onto one of the kitchen high chairs.
In between checking the potatoes and stirring the gravy, he quickly leaned over and gave me a quick hello kiss.
"If everything goes to plan, it should taste amazing too," he smiled, checking the other veg cooking.
"Well it will be better than anything I can cook," i laugh, taking another big sniff.
"Practising for Christmas Day, are we?" I tease.
He slowly moved his head from side to side.
"Maybe..."
He chuckles and pulls a glass of wine from the wine cooler.
He held it up like a waiter and put on a French accent,
"A glass of Signorello whilst you wait Madame?" He asked, a broad grin on his face.
"Ooh yes please," I giggle at his accent attempt.
"Or should I say, oui?" I laugh.
"Ah oui, oui, oui, oui, Madame," he sang, pouring it into two large wine glasses.
I sipped my wine and watched him dance around the kitchen, preparing our dinner.
He's mad, I smile to myself. I love him so much when he's like this.
The doorbell ringing made Rumple turn his head around.
"You stay there chef, I'll get it," I wink at him, sliding off my chair.
I walk out into the hallway and open the door.
As soon as I do, the smile slowly fades from my face.
"Father?"
