Blake and Pietro were sitting outside in the rose garden, talking casually while trying to avoid any intimate subjects that Professor Xavier might catch. They were discussing how awkward the interaction between their dads had been when, Blake noticed Danté and Judah heading toward them.
Judah was quite literally chain smoking and throwing the butts as he went. Danté would then proceed to catch the butts and glare on at him as he followed behind.
"So did they come up with a plan about the wedding?" Blake asked carefully, receiving a glare from Judah.
"Yes... Professor X and Betsy are going to watch from inside while the discussions with Magneto and Mystique take place..." Judah responded, running a shaking hand through his auburn hair.
"Ok well at least you both still get to have your ceremony and everything!" Blake told him shrugging her shoulders.
"You guys are getting married?" Pietro asked, not looking up from his phone.
"That a problem?" Danté asked coolly. Pietro looked up with wide eyes.
"No no of course not!" The younger replied quickly, "Um... congratulations!" He added before looking at his girlfriend for help. Blake simply rolled her eyes.
"Dig your own grave buddy!" She said chuckling.
"Since you, your sister, and the other one won't be involved in the talks, you are welcome to watch us get married if you'd like to..." Danté responded calmly.
Before Pietro could respond, his sister walked into the conversation with Lance at her side.
"Sounds like fun... we'll be there..." Wanda told Inferno before he and his fiancé could walk away.
"Oh yeah a gay wedding, sounds like a blast!" Lance snickered getting a dirty look from Blake.
"You of all people have no room to judge!" She said making Lance's eyes narrow.
"He's obviously just kidding B... he's not some kind of hypocrite-" Pietro began before his friend interrupted.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lance questioned the other with an air of aggression in his tone.
"That someone who likes guys wouldn't be a dick about two guys getting married?" Pietro said back mildly confused, "what's wrong with you dude?" He added noting Lance's frustration.
"I'm not gay!" Lance responded with an exasperated tone.
"Yeah but, you're like Bi or whatever though!" Wanda chimed in looking surprised.
"No I'm not!" Lance told her before rolling his eyes, "whatever, enjoy your faggot wedding!" He added before storming off toward the house.
Wanda and Pietro exchanged wide eyed looks all while Blake was just rolling her eyes.
"I… I'm really sorry about that!" Wanda spoke to Judah and Danté, the former just chuckled.
"Nah it's cool, it was like getting to have my father here!" He told them making Danté sigh in amusement. After another low laugh the couple bid the teens goodbye and headed toward the house to get ready for their final night as an unwed couple.

The next morning Blake and Layla were in their room getting ready for the ceremony when they heard a knock on the door. After greeting them through the door, Darius and Kurt walked in holding hands.
They were both in black dress pants and black dress shirts each sporting white ties.
Blake was sporting a black sundress and black sandals. Layla in a blue sundress and white sandals.
"It's been ages since I've been to a wedding…" Blake commented casually, getting confused looks from her brother and his partner.
"When did you go to a wedding?" Darius asked as he helped Layla zip her dress. As amusing as her struggles had been, he decided to humor her.
"I know several Morlocks who are married!" She replied as she quickly bunned her long raven hair and slipped an adamantium chopstick into place.
"What are their weddings like?" Layla asked genuinely curious as she turned and straightened Darius' tie.
"Small ceremony committing to one another for the rest of their lives… then a big party afterwards!" Blake told them shrugging her shoulders.
"The last wedding I went to was my brothers!" Layla told the group looking sad.
Her elder brother was an engineer and had left Hawaii just after graduation from college. Unfortunately, they hadn't spoken since Layla's mom kicked her out.
"The last one I watched was when I was… 9 or 10 probably…" Blake responded.
"Envy's sisters wedding was the last one I went too!" Darius told them all as they exited the bedroom and headed down to the foyer to meet up with the others in their group save for Max, Shylow, and Bobby.
"I've never actually been to one…" Kurt told them all as they were finishing up their conversation.
"And I get to be your date to your first!" Darius said feigning a sigh, "I'm so honored!" He added receiving a light smack on the chest from Kurt and laughing in response.
Making their way to the lawn they finally got to see the set up for the wedding completed. There were several rows of seats set up, many of which were filled with former institute graduates as well as current students and faculty.
Blake and friends found two lines of seats that were only occupied by Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, Avalanche was nowhere to be seen.
Blake winked at Pietro as she went to sit beside him.
"Dude since this is like my only opportunity let me get some pics of you two!" Trinity told her former roommate. Blake laughed and shook her head before leaning in beside Pietro and feeling him cautiously wrap an arm around her shoulders.
A few more shots were taken before Trinity called out to a friend whose partner was seemingly absent.
"Phoebe where's your man?" She asked her flame creating friend.
"If you mean my ex-boyfriend he was looking for Shylow to borrow a tie!" Phoebe stated hearing audible gasps and heads turning sharply.
"What?" Ruby and Kitty both asked in tandem.
"Relax guys!" Phoebe told them, "I wanted the opportunity to see other people over the summer, so we agreed to take a break!" She added with a nod.
"Yeah, we are 100% fine!" Bobby added appearing out of nowhere. A few minutes later Max, Shylow and Nat came walking up to join the group. Max looked over at Trinity with wide eyes but was unable to start up a conversation with her as the ceremony was about to begin.

The ceremony was beautiful, Emma was officiating and looked wonderful as she addressed the crowd.
"I think about my future… my grand plan if you will… very often and just before Christmas last year, you asked me if my plans, are our plans" Danté began reaching out his hands to take hold of Judah's, "honestly I can't imagine a plan without you in it!" He continued smiling as a few tears freely fell from his eyes.
"You are my family and my everything Jude… and I hope that any plans you make for you are also plans for us!" He finished chuckling as Judah made a face and lost a few tears of his own.
"Damn it, I swore I wasn't going to cry!" Judah began making the other as well as the crowd chuckle a bit, "D, the way that you and River took me in, when I had nobody else, is something that has and always will stick with me for the rest of time… I look forward to being at each other's sides forever!" He added making Dante's shoulders shake almost invisibly as a few more tears dripped down his cheeks.
Marie, Jean, And Amelia all had spent the last couple minutes dotting eyes to try and save their makeup. River, Remy, and Scott were chuckling and smiling big for their brother and friends.
"Ok Inferno, please repeat after me… I, Danté Francisco Borodin…" Emma Began, "Take you Judah Hiram Viridis to be my husband." She continued looking to Danté.
"I, Danté Francisco Borodin, take you Judah Hiram Viridis, to be my husband!" Danté repeated back giving Judah's hands a squeeze.
"For richer or poorer, in the good times and the bad…" Emma continued, "In sickness and in health, till death do we part!" She finished looking to her coworker.
"For richer or poorer, in the good times and the bad, in sickness and in health, till death do we part!" Danté finished smiling at his partner.
Emma nodded before turning to Judah.
"I, Judah Hiram Viridis, take you Danté Francisco Borodin, to be my husband!" Judah began after making eye contact with Emma, "For richer or poorer, in the good times and the bad, in sickness and in health, till death do we part!" He finished feeling a few tears drip from his eyes.
"By the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you man and husband!" Emma began, "before you kiss him go ahead with this!" She added handing Judah a glass and handkerchief. Judah placed it on the ground, covering with the cloth before motioning to Danté who stomped hard, shattering the glass.
Shouts of Congrats and Mazel Tov came flying from the crowd before Judah guided his hand to Danté's cheek and his lips to his husbands laughing together.
