"Theo, no!" I raised my voice at him, growing very frustrated.

He sighed and ran his hands over his face, "yes. I'm splurging out on this, love, accept it."

I shook my head, "no, I don't want you to book a big venue. I want to have it here at yours."

"Ours," he corrected me, "if you want that because you don't want me to be spending money..."

"I just want us to celebrate with our closest friends and family..." I sighed, "you don't need to spend so much money on this."

"You're going to feel like a queen, Scarlett," he gave me an almost boyish and in-awe smile from opposite me at the island table.

"I'm so glad everything went to plan," I let out a breath of relief, tension from the past months finally releasing, "the wedding planner was starting to get on my nerves..."

Anne laughed, squeezing my hands in hers, "it was a good decision to come here instead of some venue. The decorations are beautiful... the music..."

After the church, we had cars to drive everyone over to Theo's and my home, which the decorator had made in to a white swan fantasy. Everything was perfect.

"And you really do look absolutely beautiful. It's a good thing you took me dress shopping with you," Anne grinned lightly, and I laughed gently.

"I don't know what I would have done without you, Anne."

"I've made a list of possible baby names, by the way," she began excitedly, "I'll send a photo of it to you, once you've got back from your honeymoon."

I smiled and nodded, "I've actually made a list as well... don't tell Theo."

"Don't tell me what?"

Two arms gently wrapped around my waist, and a chin rested on my shoulder. I would always recognise that low voice and masculine scent.

I leaned back against his front carefully and reached one hand up to cup his cheek, "oh, nothing..."

"Mum, Scarlett and I are choosing the name..." he told his mother.

Only our closest of close family and friends knew about me being pregnant; my father, Anne, Louis, Linda, Emma, Justin, Thomas and Tim.

"Of course, of course," she brushed it off and then gave me a wide smile, "I get to babysit, though, right?"

"We wouldn't have it any other way," I assured her.

"Congratulations," Cristiano suddenly appeared by Anne, sending a stunning smile to both of us.

My body tensed a little. He had grown to become a friend, but him being my celebrity crush had no way disappeared or changed.

I felt Theo discreetly kiss my jaw, a knowing grin on his lips.

"Thank you," I cleared my throat and returned his smile, "it's so lovely you could come today."

"I'm honoured you invited me," he nodded, "you look beautiful, Scarlett. You're a vision, Theo's a very lucky—"

"Hey," Theo spoke from behind me, directing his attention at the Portuguese dream in front of me, "that's my wife you're talking to, mate. Watch it with the flirting."

Cristiano chuckled light heartedly and raised his hands up in a sign of defeat.

I slid my arms to rest over Theo's, which were still wrapped casually around my waist from behind.

"Did you enjoy the ceremony?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"It was lovely. Can I take a picture of you for a tweet?"

I hesitated for a moment, before glancing back at Theo, who had pulled back a little to see my expression.

The public had no idea about our wedding having been today. They had known we were engaged because of the ring Theo had proposed to me with being spotted in paparazzi photos of me, but other than that, we'd kept everything very private.

"It's fine with me..." I spoke gently, "Theo?"

"Yeah, sure," he gave me a smile before returning to rest his chin on my shoulder, his front brushing against my back every now and then.

Anne was smiling widely beside Cristiano, who took out his phone and aimed the camera at us.

I smiled happily while Theo surprised me by kissing my cheek.

"May I post?" He then turned his phone around to let us see the photo and the tweet he had typed out by it.

I aw-ed at how cute Theo and I looked. I loved how safe I felt in his arms and how caring he was of me, especially now that I was carrying our child...

'@Cristiano: Congratulations to my great friends! Wish you all the best for your life together!'

And then there was the photo of Theo embracing me and kissing my cheek from behind, while I looked like I was beaming with happiness; which I was, of course.

"Yes," I breathed out, my heart soaring at how I felt at this very moment.

Ellie rushed up to me from around the corner, where most of our guests were chatting and having a great time. She wrapped her arms around my legs and hugged me.

"Hey," I laughed lightheartedly and looked down at her, "you were amazing dropping petals on the isle. Thank you."

She looked up at me with a wide smile, eyes glittering in the light, "you look super pretty."

"You do, too," I ran my fingers through her hair gently, "are you having a good time, darling?"

"Yes! Frosty ran away from me, though..."

I smiled and shook my head, "don't mind her, she's a bit shy when there's a lot of people around."

We returned to be with our friends and family.

My father, Louis, Emma, Red, Linda, Elise, Cherry, Anne, Annie, Harry, Johnny, Justin, Felix, Tim and his girlfriend Mary, and many more of our loved ones from over the years were celebrating with us today. Even Dr Stanley was somewhere around here. I hadn't wanted a huge wedding, yet there were still around a hundred people here, which felt like so much to me in my simplicity.

"I have a wedding gift for you, birdie," Theo told me quietly.

I turned around in his arms and tilted my head to the side with a smile, "what is it?"

He shrugged mischievously, his hands resting on my hips, "it's in the garden..."

My brows furrowed and I repeated my previous question, "what is it?"

"Go find out," Theo gave me a knowing wink.

"If it's a pony..." I began shaking my head, and he laughed.

"It's not. You'll love it, I promise you."

"Okay," I gave him a small smile and leaned up to softly kiss him, "husband."

He smiled and lightly patted my bum as I turned around to begin making my way further in to the crowd of our guests.

"Theo says he has a surprise for me in the backyard," I hooked my arm with Thomas', "you're coming with me."

"Oh, Lord..." he chuckled and shook his head, "I'm nervous."

"Me too," I laughed a bit and leaned my head against the side of his shoulder as we began walking toward the open glass doors leading outside.

"That friend Cherry of yours... is she single?" He asked me, and I glanced up at him.

Cherry had grown so much as a person. I had watched and stood by her as she processed her wrongdoings and made up for them the best she could. I had definitely noticed earlier a spark between her and Thomas today, and felt happy. Both of them deserved a happy and healthy relationship.

"Yes. Are you interested?" I gave him a kind grin, brows raising a little.

He shrugged with a smile, "maybe... she seems nice, and Ellie loves her..."

"That's sweet. You deserve someone," I told him, "Cherry's matured a lot, she's a great person."

"She seems like it, yes... OH, MY FUCKING GOD!"

Thomas' yell attracted the attention of everyone in our house, and soon curious men and women were gathering behind us, as we both stood frozen on the patio.

"Is that..." I was gaping at the sight in front of me, my heart thumping loudly in my chest.

I received a smile from the tall man standing at the back of the yard, before the first few chords of 'A Sky Full Of Stars' sounded from the instruments through the speakers.

"Holy hell!" I was suddenly snapped out of my daze by Emma, who began dragging me towards the band.

I have no idea how, but Theo had got Coldplay to come to our house. Into our backyard. To sing.

My whole being bubbled with love, excitement and appreciation, unable to fully wrap my head around all this.

We danced, laughed, our friends and family joining us outside with the sun shining brightly. Chris Martin's voice made me want to cry, as I had never heard him live before, but also the fact that Theo had arranged this for me.

Emma, Thomas and I were the biggest Coldplay fans I knew, and we really seemed absolutely crazy as we danced on the grass, just a few steps away from Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Phil Harvey.

I noticed Theo watching me, standing with a few other people who weren't dancing nearby, instead enjoying the music, drinking and chatting.

I kicked off my heels after making my way towards him, the sides of his lips tugging upwards at the determination in my eyes.

"You're crazy," I told him, before wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him, "I can't believe you actually got Coldplay to come here..."

He smiled and kissed me back, his free hand gently on my waist.

"If I wasn't scared of breaking a hip, I'd be wooing all the ladies with my moves," my father spoke up from beside Theo as we pulled back.

With a small laugh I looked over at him smiling adorably.

"Dad..." I shook my head at him playfully.

"I don't think the ladies could handle those moves of yours, Mr Dubois," Felix grinned lightly and nudged my father, who laughed and agreed.

I directed my attention back at Theo, who was already watching me in a way that had my core clenching.

"You don't get away with organising a mini concert at our backyard without dancing with me," I told him with a smirk, "you know that, right?"

"Oh, no..." he kissed me again, body inching closer, "please, I was so happy just watching you dance..."

I kissed him back quickly, before taking his hand in mine and pulling him behind me toward the dancing group of people.

"This next song is called 'Adventure Of A Lifetime'," Chris freaking Martin was announcing through a microphone to all of us eagerly awaiting, his eyes finding Theo and I. He smiled at us and I swear I almost fainted.

"This is for the happy couple, congratulations!" He added, raising his hand up toward us before the song began.

I jumped and turned around to face Theo at the first few and energetic chords, smiling widely and flipping my hair around, feeling so carefree and exhilarated.

"Dance!" I pulled him closer to me, and he laughed.
