Shawn looked up at me. He did a double-take, and soon enough his cheeks were reddening and a smirk spread across his face.
"What?" I asked him, worrying that I put my shirt on inside out or something else to embarrass myself. He shook his head.
"Pl...
Waking up in the city of love with the man of my dreams felt like an absolute fairytale. I admired my husband's sleeping face as it glowed from the morning light shining in on him through the windows. As much as I tried to resist it, the urge to reach up and caress his face was too strong. I carefully cupped his cheek with my small hand, gently brushing my thumb over his cheekbone. A soft smile crept onto his lips as he pressed his face further into my hand.
"What's on the agenda for today, handsome?" I whispered.
"Hmm...I think that should be a surprise for now," he smiled. "I think we should do breakfast on the balcony first, though."
He grabbed the room service menu from the nightstand and we both looked it over. I ordered some fresh berry crêpes with orange juice and he ordered a classic French omelette with coffee. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed our food as we watched the morning sun beam down onto the bustling city streets.
"Can you please tell me what we're doing today?" I begged as I took another swig of juice. Shawn laughed.
"I thought you loved surprises? Why do you always want me to tell you what they are?"
"Because," I explained. "As much as I love the element of surprise—I'm also very impatient. You should no this about me by now."
"Oh trust me, I know."
We finished our breakfast and made our way back into the room. We ended up showering together—to save water, of course—before getting ready for the day's adventures. He had told me to dress casually, so I wore a black short-sleeve crop top and some skinny jeans while he opted for some light wash jeans and a white vintage tee with the word "heaven" printed across it.

Once we had both gotten ready, we went down to the lobby of the hotel to get a car. I was hoping I'd find out our destination when Shawn told the driver where to take us, but instead he pulled the secret location up on his phone and showed it to the driver.
We spent most of the car ride sharing quick kisses and whispering sweet nothings to each other. To anybody else it might be considered "cringey", but we were on our honeymoon—so that meant that we were allowed to be the cringey couple. Shawn looked out the window and smiled, nodding towards it to get me to look as well. I squealed with excitement when I saw the pink and blue tips of the castle in the distance.
