[For as dangerous as many of the adventures they found themselves in are, even if she didn't find them fun and worth it for their own sakes, the good adventures make up for them. Like the festival they stumbled into that didn't serve as some sort of cover for feeding people to monsters or kidnapping people to sell across the galaxy.
It was a...really fun festival, what little she can remember of it.
This would be one of those adventures they don't include in the abridged version of their travels they share with people, isn't it?]
[When the good Doctor woke up, something was tickling his nose. He wrinkled it, but whatever it was, it was still there, and he sat up and cracked his eyes open.
Flower petals... An entire bed of flower petals. Well, given it was this planet's annual spring flower festival, he didn't think too much of it. Actually, he didn't really have too much to think about in the first place given most of the night had apparently been forgotten. So much for an adventure with no alien and running.
Rose was still asleep next to him until the door burst open and a short chubby woman screeched, "Good morning sir and Mrs.!"]
[Well, Rose was asleep. This is no surprise, because it's incredibly comfortable, this bed, and evidently Doctor-shaped pillows are wonderful sleeping aids. It's sometime between the screeching woman and the Doctor shouting that she startles awake.
For a moment, she blinks at the flower petals on the bed, and then she realizes what's obstructing her view of some of them is in fact the Doctor. It's not the first time there's only been one bed and neither of them were selfish enough to hog it to themselves, so that's only mildly disturbing, even with her hazy memories.
It's the woman insisting on calling her 'Mrs.' that's worrying. She pushes herself up with one arm and holds the duvet with the other.] What did you just say?
Oh no, we're not...[The Doctor pointed back and forth between himself and Rose.] We're not married.
Oh! Don't be so shy! [The woman truly had a terrible voice as she rambled on about last night's festivities. And apparently it had gotten out of hand for the two and somehow lead to marriage.]
Oh what conditions!? [Outraged, Doctor? Only a little, because surly he would've remembered agreeing to marrying Rose.]
How's it even legal? We're not even from...around here. ['This planet' doesn't always go well, and as outraged and confused as she is, she's awake enough to know she'd rather not spent the morning in some sort of cell.] Anyway, a night like that, we can't be the first people to get married...on accident, right? There must be some sort of annulment process. [Not that it wouldn't be an amusing inside joke, mind, but if she's getting married she'd like it to mean a little bit more than that. Besides, her mother would end him. Or she'd adopt him if they kept getting on well, and that'd be even more strange.]
Yeah, what she said! [The Doctor had been involved in a case of similar mishaps before, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get out of this one. Or run away, which was his typical solution, but he couldn't leave Rose on a random planet. Not that he was thinking of leaving her.
Regardless, the tiny woman didn't look very pleased and couldn't quite understand their lack of newlywed bliss.]
[The woman looked rightly displeased.] Oh you're one of those couples, are ya?! Think it's funny? Pop off, get married, and think you can simply end it like it's no big deal? You two should've thought it over before jump'n into it, yeah!? [And she stormed off.]
Well, at least she left the food. [The Doctor shrugged, like the entire outburst was no big deal, which lead one to wonder how many times he had been in such a situation.]
[Well. That's...] Wasn't she nice yesterday? I think I remember she gave me flowers...
[She frowns and ruffles her hair, still a bit sleepy. It's probably best not to think about how many times he's been accidentally married, nor how legitimate the annulments were, otherwise she'd be stuck trying to figure out what count they were at again and that would mean thinking. It's too early for thinking.] D'you think she's gone off to get paperwork?
[Popping a strawberry into his mouth, he shook his head.] Doubt it. She didn't seem too happy with us.
[Annuments? Half the time he just ran away in the TARDIS. There was advantages of having a time and space ship. The first few times he did validly attempt to annul things but that didn't always work out either. But he agreed with Rose, just incase they went somewhere else.]
[It's just she liked to have a clean conscience talking to her mother, and sometimes her mother asked very unfortunate questions. She glances up at him after moment, still frowning slightly.] Don't think she's summoning anyone, do you? [It's too early to go running. It really is.]
[He paused, almost as if listening for something, then shook his head.] Don't think so!
[In went another strawberry and he glanced over to her.] You're quite concerned, aren't you? [Was it bad that he wasn't? Granted he really enjoyed Rose's company, so he wasn't too shook up about it...]

I'm sorry... What!?

You can't tell me no one's ever regretted a marriage, right? What's the process?
