"That would have been a far more magical evening, I did not know you were a romantic" she said a fond smile on her lips. It grew at the sight of the blush that warmed his cheeks more than the compliment he had given her. Not that it didn't make her heart leap a little bit in her chest at it.

"Thank you, I wouldn't say I outshone you, but I do appreciate you enjoyed how I looked. It was the only thing I desired when choosing the dress" she said admiring him for a moment. She could easily find herself becoming more comfortable with him, even grow to love him in time. And time was all they had now with each other, she hoped she could fill it with love and affection as it passed.

She reached out and took his hand, lacing their fingers together her thumb rubbing against the back of his hand as she looked at him. "I wished we had had time to court properly before...this" she said with a gentle gesture towards the bed. It wasn't something they could ignore, the last step in making their marriage binding.

"Still, I am glad it is you" she said softly taking a chance to lean up to press a kiss to his cheek, the action causing her body to press against his her hand squeezing his gently as she did so.
