The Doctor slid open the shoji door and then, unexpectedly, bent to pick Donna up, causing her to squeal involuntarily in surprise even as a slight smile - he’s quite the traditionalist, my Spaceman - graced her lips as he carried her over the threshold. Once through, he gently lowered her to her feet and slung an arm around her shoulders to pull her closer. She wrapped her hands around his waist and snuggled into his chest. Then they just stood, surveying their surrounds, with only the summer song of cicadas breaking through the silence.

Any other time, Donna would have described this room as just about perfect - the decoration was restrained and unobtrusive, the same type of flowers that had been in her bridal bouquet stood in a small alcove and were infusing the room with their calming, other-worldly fragrance, while a washi lantern cast a soft, intimate glow throughout. The fluffy cloud of a futon that had been laid out on the tatami looked comfortable and inviting...

*Phew*

I'm very chuffed that you like the added scene setting. When I get married, I want to find a room/garden/planet like this for me and hubby to honeymoon in....
