Sweet Delicious Pink Macaron DKNY 2012

She opened her eyes and stretched extensively. So this is how it felt to be a young wife. Her freshly married husband was still sleeping, cuddled into his pillows like a baby. She had to smile.
In her mind, she replayed the wedding ceremony from yesterday. She had been a wonderfully beautiful bride, she could claim that without shame. The celebration seemed to have been a success, the menu had been perfect.
Only cousin Ingrid seemed a bit grumpy. Well, she really couldn't cater to everyone's moods.

She swung out of bed and slipped into her pink bathrobe. The color suited her particularly well.
She would bring her husband breakfast in bed. Although - this custom won't be broken - today I will make an exception!

She wasn't really that hungry after yesterday's menu.
Maybe some fruit? Quietly, on bare feet, she walked down to the kitchen.

So many flowers she had received - a whole armful. However, she hadn't "thrown" the wedding bouquet, as was customary. She wanted to dry the bouquet and keep it in the display case under a glass dome. That's how her grandmother had done it - and - that marriage had lasted.

She took a plate and placed a few nectarines on it, as well as some of the dwarf oranges. How fragrant the fruits were! From the neighbor across the street, they had received this wonderfully beautiful fruit bowl as a wedding gift, filled with all sorts of exotic fruits. This large red fruit - a pomegranate - she had
never eaten before. Well, today is a good day to try something new.

There was still a large piece left of the wedding cake. She cut off two small pieces, placed two of the little marzipan roses on a plate along with two napkins.

From the pink bouquet that Aunt Grete had given her, she plucked out two roses, placing one on the tray and sticking the other in her hair.

So "armed," she made her way upstairs. She set the tray down and slipped back under the covers.
"Darling - wake up!" He opened his eyes, needing a moment to orient himself. Her husband stood next to the bed with the breakfast tray.
"Don't fall back asleep, my love! We have a big day ahead of us today."
She rubbed her eyes. Everything came back to her. Today, her eldest daughter was getting married!
"I dreamed....." He took her in his arms. "Everything will be just fine. Now let's have breakfast, because there’s still a lot to do before the ceremony starts."
