George and Pattie decided to have a morning swim at the indoor pool three hours after breakfast and booking their ride to Loch Ness for tomorrow. The former asked, "I know it's only been a day since we arrived, but how are you enjoying this place so far?" His wife replied, "Well, I'm quite liking it! How about you, dear?" George said, "So am I, love! Especially as it is just the two of us for a week." Pattie said, "That's true. I've been waiting for this moment right from the time we got engaged!" George replied, "Oh, yes. Indeed! You took the words straight out of me mouth there." Pattie smiled in response. The couple even made their swim extra memorable by diving and sharing an underwater kiss! Afterwards, they spent the rest of the day with a nice stroll around the hotel's vicinity.

After they had finished unpacking, the couple went outside to have lunch and study the map for planning out their special itinerary. "Okay; so for the landmarks, we should definitely pay a visit to Loch Ness!" George said. Pattie replied, "That's for sure! I am also quite intrigued by Inverness Castle, especially since it's only a hike up away from where our hotel is located." George replied, "Sounds magnificent, love! Then, we can take a nature walk in the Ness Islands." Pattie added, "And we'll save the city tour for next week! I'd like us to go to the Victorian Market for our souvenir shopping." George remarked, "Capital idea! Well, I think that just about settles our plan." His wife agreed. It was a good timing too, as their food arrived the moment they were done folding the map. When they returned to their suite a few hours later, George wrote down their chosen places in checklist form (like what he did in Ireland last year).

When the new day came, the couple woke up feeling rested and got themselves ready for the ride to Inverness. "See you in a week, Laura, darling. Take care." George whispered to his daughter, who was still sound asleep. "We love you." Pattie added. With that, they kissed her on the forehead. This was then followed by a tasty breakfast, after which they headed back to the airship. "The weather is expected to be cooler where I'll be taking you during this time of year (being the capital of the Highlands), so have ye brought along some coats?" Philip asked as they returned on deck. George replied, "Why yes, sir! We did. Thanks for letting us know about that." Pattie said, "Indeed! Good thing we planned ahead of time." "Mm-hmm." Nodded George. "You are all set in that case!" Remarked Philip. A few minutes later, the airship was gliding in the sky again, and the newlyweds shared a sweet moment while enjoying the lovely view at the same time.

While strolling among the flowers, George told Pattie about his quick chat with the fans. "As you may have observed, those ladies were very sweet, and they're just as happy for us tying the knot!" She replied, "Yeah, I noticed that. It made me smile, too!" "Great!" he remarked back. Laura said, "And I mustn't forget to mention that they felt the same thing about my father adopting me after our visit to Hampton Court three years ago!" Pattie said, "Oh, how splendid, my dear!" George said, "Yes, Laura, darling! I also remember that. It's lovely!" She responded with a big smile. The trio then spent the remainder of the day by paying a stop inside the wide, well-kept lawn of Kensington Palace.

As he had promised, George made those phone calls in the morning that followed. Then, at around an hour before noon, the lovebirds had a coffee break in Hyde Park while Laura did some jogging. George said, "So about the cake, I have requested Spencer from the Cadbury factory in Birmingham to make it a triple layer one with the top being made from milk chocolate, the middle white, and the bottom dark. How's that, love?" Pattie replied, "Ooooh, that sounds so luxurious, darling! I'm excited to taste it!" George replied, "So am I!" He then continued, "And our honeymoon destination of Scotland has been settled, too. The royals will even reserve two seats on their airship for us as newlyweds!" "Absolutely splendid!" exclaimed Pattie. "That also means the details for our wedding are nearing completion." "Right as rain, Pattie. Right as rain!" remarked George. They soon finished their coffee and shared a sweet kiss.

Next morning and shortly after breakfast, the trio proceeded to Fitzrovia Chapel for the wedding rehearsals. "Wowsers! This place is bloody magnificent, daddy George!" exclaimed Laura as she marveled at both the stained glass windows and ceiling. George replied, "It sure is, Laura, darling! Just perfect for the ceremony!" Pattie added, "Not to mention quite a popular venue for those tying the knot!" Laura said, "Yeah, I can see why you decided to have yours here as well. Excellent choice!" George smiled and said, "Thanks, dear! We're glad ye think so." Pattie nodded in agreement. The rehearsal itself went very well, concluding with the lovebirds sharing a kiss near the altar. They then spent the rest of the day exploring the chapel's location, which is better known as Pearson Square.
