Chapter Two: Til Death Do Us Part
Nat burst into the dressing room, looking frantic and carrying a tray of various colored coffees.
"I'm here! I'm here! Sorry I'm late!" She exclaimed, pulling a lock of curly red hair behind her ear.
"Yes, late to your own wedding, no less!" Okoye teased.
"I brought Starbucks." Nat answered, guiltily holding up the cup carrier.
"You are forgiven." Okoye said with a joking raise of her eyebrow.
Nat rolled her eyes and started passing out the drinks to the girls.
"Wow, you guys look great!" Nat said, looking around the room at her bridesmaids
And they truly did; they had agreed upon a stunning, deep red high-low gown that somehow flattered each woman differently. It complimented the reddish tones of Wanda and Gamora's hair, Hope's curves, and Okoye's tall figure.
"And you're going to look even better!" Said Hope, holding up a long black garment bag.
"Let's get you dressed, Mrs. Banner!" Said Wanda, helping her up on a stool.
Gamora neatly folded Nat's silk robe while Wanda and Okoye slipped her into the dress. Hope helped her pin the last few loose curls back, and served as leaning support while Gamora strapped on her heels.
"Alright, I think I'm ready!" Said Natasha, twirling in the mirror to admire every angle of her bridesmaids' handy work.
"Just one more thing." Said Okoye, smiling conspiratorially. "I'd like to make a toast."
"To Natasha!"
"To Natasha!" the other girls echoed.
"To the wedding!" Wanda cheered.
"To the wedding!"
"And to the best bridesmaids a girl could ask for." Nat said, raising her coffee cup, as all the girls came to hug her in turn.
"Now, let's go get you hitched!" Said Hope, wrapping her arm around the blushing bride.
