In their Honeymoon Ocean View Suite, Brad and Ella had showered and were getting ready for dinner. Tonight they had decided to try the resort's premier steakhouse. The dress code for this restaurant was formal, so the couple dressed appropriately. Brad wore a navy pinstripe suit, white dress shirt, and matching navy blue tie. Ella looked stunning. She had put on makeup and lipstick, and her shoulder-length auburn hair was done up. She wore a floor-length strapless dark green gown and black open-toed heels.
"You look amazing," Brad said.
"Thanks," Ella said, blushing. "So do you."
Brad smiled, offered Ella his arm, and they headed down to the steakhouse. They were immediately seated and offered a choice of drinks. They decided on a bottle of red wine, and the waiter returned moments later with the bottle. He expertly poured the wine and asked if the couple was ready to order.
"I think we need a couple minutes," Ella said.
The waiter advised he would return in a few minutes. Ella couldn't decide what she wanted; everything looked amazing. Besides steak, they had scallops, salad, and fish, and all of it looked delicious.
"Know what you want, honey?" Ella asked.
"I think so," her husband answered. "You?"
"I can't decide between the beef wellington and the scallop risotto," Ella said.
"I was going to get the wellington. Why don't you get the risotto and we'll share?"
"Perfect," Ella smiled.
The waiter returned and took their order. After he disappeared, Brad took his new wife's hand in his.
"I am the luckiest man in the world," he said.
Ella smiled, her face turning a bright shade of red. She held his hand tight and caressed it.
"I'm the lucky one," she said. "I can't believe your parents got us this honeymoon for our wedding present! This is amazing!"
"It is."
The waiter arrived with their appetizers. The hungry newlyweds dug in and had soon finished their first course. The waiter must've been paying attention; their main courses arrived within minutes. Brad cut into his beef wellington and gave half to Ella. Ella dished some of her risotto onto Brad's plate.
"This is perfectly cooked!" Brad said. "Best wellington I've ever had."
"And the risotto is so creamy. Delicious!" Ella commented.
The couple savored every bite of their delicious meals. They were offered dessert, as it was included, but they declined. They got up and headed to the main resort lounge. Brad went to the bar and ordered drinks, then joined his wife on a plush couch.
