Hey, sorry for the long delay university has been very busy the last few weeks and I apologise for the shorter than usual chapter. Thanks for sticking with this story and so much for reviewing. I have had quite a few reviews about the spanking in this story and if you don't like it I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but it's clear in the description it will contain corporal punishment. In the future I will signpost it is there clearly though so you can skip it if you wish. Thanks again for reading, I hope you enjoy!

Peter was practically vibrating he was so excited, today was the day his parent were getting married! They had arrived at the hotel the wedding was being held at that morning, he shuddered to think how much his dad had paid for the wedding to stay secret from the press, but then again it was an extremely fancy hotel, he was terrified to do anything just in case he damaged something so they were probably used to high profile weddings. He was interrupted from his musings by his dad telling him to finish putting his tux on. Ugh he hated suits, his homecoming one had itched against his sensitive skin but he was more worried he'd look like a little kid playing dress up, he hadn't worn it yet, they had just taken his measurements for his other suits and used them to tailor it, he hadn't even seen the outfit until about an hour ago.
"Pete come on it's only one day put the tux on we don't have time for dramatics." Tony told the boy bluntly, he hadn't slept well and was extremely nervous he really didn't want to waste time arguing about a suit with his son. He had never expected to get married and he was terrified, what if Pep changed her mind? What if he was late? What if…? He was interrupted from his panic by his son's hesitant voice.
"Dad, I don't know how…" He turned to look at the teen preparing to scold him for wasting time but swallowed his words when he saw the honest confusion clouding his face. He took a breath then stood up and grabbed his own tux which was identical to his son's, "I'll show you how, I'm sorry for snapping kid", he told him softly ruffling his curls earning a laugh. He really hadn't meant to snap he was just stressed.
Peter relaxed as his dad did, he had been understandably stressed and visibly nervous he was glad he could distract him, although admittedly he did need help with the tux, he didn't know where to start. He had never been to anything that required him to wear a tux before, he had been put in one on Tuesday at the tailors, but he hadn't been paying attention and he hadn't worn the cufflinks or the tie or anything. He had put on the pants and shirt but didn't know what to do from there.
"Tuck in the shirt Pete then we put on the suspenders, no one should see the suspenders but they're better than a belt." He helped his son attach them to the back of the trousers and straightened his shirt out before doing the same at the front. "And then the waistcoat, kid."
Peter couldn't help but grin as his dad helped him get ready, sure May had helped him get dressed for homecoming but having his dad help him was different, it was a typical father son thing in his eyes and it was something he would cherish.
Tony couldn't help but smile fondly as he tied his son's bowtie, the boy might be Spiderman and graceful in the air but it appeared bowties were his kryptonite. Just as he helped the kid with his cufflinks the door to the suite opened allowing Bruce, Happy and Rhodey into the room dressed in identical suits to their own. He glanced at his watch there was now less than an hour to go, he didn't think he'd ever felt this nervous in his life, and he'd met a president at age ten. "Pete." He said beckoning to his son as he took a box off the coffee table, "I want you to take this to your mom okay? They're one floor up from us. Then go downstairs, you know where the wedding is yes?" He grinned when the boy nodded eagerly, clearly happy to help in any way he could.
Peter grabbed the box and made his way down the corridor then up the stairs to his mom's room. He hadn't seen the dress yet, May and Nat had, they both went to help mom choose it and said it was beautiful but he had yet to lay eyes on it himself. He stopped outside the correct door and tried to flatten his hair slightly and glanced over himself quickly before he knocked. Within moments May opened the door and he could see her hold back a gasp at the sight of him.
"My handsome little boy all grown up."
Peter couldn't help but blush at her words, he was fifteen, sixteen in a few months he was practically a man! "Come in come in." Peter stepped into the room and froze as soon as he laid eyes on his mom who was sitting in the centre of the room while a hairstylist finished up her work. Wow. She looked amazing.
"You look amazing mom. I've got this," he told her nodding towards the box in his arms, "it's from dad," he then added needlessly. He was eager to see what was inside it to be honest, he really had no idea what it could be.
Pepper took the box from her son and placed it down before she turned back to have a good look at him, "May's right, Pete you do look all grown up in that tux. How's Tony? Nervous I imagine?" At the boy's nod she laughed softly before turning back to see what the man had got her. Opening the box she couldn't help but gasp at the beautiful necklace inside, it was silver with sapphires decorating it, it was beautiful and clearly well made without being gaudy. She turned over the note inside.
The sapphires were my mothers, I got this made for you
Something old, something new and something blue for our wedding day
Tony
p.s. Ask May for something borrowed
Pepper smiled and gestured for her son to help her put the necklace on, it really was beautiful, how Tony had known how long to make it so it didn't cover any of her dress she really didn't know, but then again they had known each other so long he maybe had an idea. Once the necklace was in place she turned to May, she was surprised how close they had become despite how different their lives were, but then again the woman had raised Peter and it was impossible not to fall in love with him so perhaps it made sense. She turned May and opened her mouth to ask what Tony meant but she was one step ahead of her.
"Ben gave me this on my wedding day, he said every Parker woman who wore this had a long successful marriage…I know you aren't becoming a Parker but you're Peter's mom so…" May stopped as he voice cracked with emotion, she could so clearly remember Ben giving her this silver butterfly hair piece the day before their own wedding.
"I understand May, thank you. It means a lot to me." Pepper assured her as she allowed the woman to place it in her hair, it really was beautiful. She once more looked at her son, "thank you Peter, there's not long left now, go back to your dad, make sure he hasn't worn a hole in the carpet yet."
Peter nodded pressing a quick kiss to both his Aunt's and Mom's cheeks before he left the room and made his way down to the wedding venue itself.
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
Tony couldn't help but fiddle with his cufflinks nervously as he stood at the front of the room his son and other groomsmen by his side. This was it. He, Tony Stark was about to get married, he expected most people in the room, himself included never thought they'd see the day. He couldn't help but grin as he made eye contact with Rhodey, they looked good all of them dressed the same, he had been slightly worried it would look cheesy but the tuxes suited all of them so well, they looked great if he did say so himself. When the wedding march started he let out a breath and allowed himself to relax.
Pepper exhaled when the music started, she was CEO of one of the world's largest companies, there was no need to be this nervous. She smiled softly as Phil took her arm in his own, she didn't have any blood family of her own anymore and Peter was already up there with Tony so she had chosen Phil to give her away, they had a surprisingly strong friendship, sure the whole faking his death thing had been a difficult time but that was in the past now.
Peter looked at his dad as soon as the wedding march started playing, he wanted to see the moment his dad saw Pepper for the first time in her dress, it was rare that he saw the man at a loss for words and he felt that moment would be one of those times. Sure enough, the man's jaw dropped when he laid eyes on his wife to be and Peter was sure he saw a tear or two.
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
Rhodey had attended quite a lot of weddings by this point in his life but he was positive the one he witnessed that day between his brother and new wife would never be topped. It had been a small ceremony sure but that was what they had wanted and to be honest it suited them, Tones may put on a front for the press and be a bit of a show off but some things should be kept quiet and be treasured, it had been perfect.
As soon as his parents had been declared man and wife Peter had cheered, he couldn't help himself and earned soft smiles from the pair. He had never been to a wedding before and he didn't think he would ever attend one as beautiful, he had been forced to wipe away tears at one point! Spiderman was not supposed to be reduced to tears by wedding vows! They had headed to the reception pretty quickly afterwards and he wasn't too sure what he was supposed to do, he knew his Uncle would be saying a few words after they ate but would he be expected to dance or something?
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
Rhodey tapped his glass to get everyone's attention and smiled as he looked round the room. "Good evening, lady and gentleman I would like to thank all of you on behalf of the Bride and Groom for coming here today to share their special day. I think I am speaking for most of you here when I say I'm surprised this day ever came. Tony Stark getting married! Who'd have thought!?"
Peter laughed lightly along with the others around him at his dad's expense earning a cuff on the back of his head where his dad's arm was strung over his shoulder.
"I met Tony when he was fourteen on our first day at MIT, I remember thinking at the time what I had done to be saddled looking after a kid and to this day I wonder the same." He said with a smirk, "we hit it off almost straight away and I quickly saw he was more than the tearaway he appeared to be in the press, he's a loyal friend and caring man, it is thanks to him I can stand here in front of you all today…"
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
Peter smiled as he watched his parents have their first dance, he didn't think he had ever seen either of them look as happy as they did in that moment. But then again he had had that same thought multiple times that day. He had been thrilled although slightly embarrassed when his dad had pulled him in for some of their wedding photos, he said he wanted some of just the three of them so he could put them up in the penthouse. He had also got a few with his uncles and of course one with just himself and May, his mom assured her she would send a copy to the apartment as soon as they were printed. He was pulled from his thoughts quite literally by his mom who grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the dance floor.
Before he had realised what was happening Peter found himself dancing in front of everyone and immediately began to panic. "Mooom, I don't know what I'm doing," he whispered almost hysterically.
Pepper laughed softly at her son's words, "it's fine Peter, just let me lead you, more people will come up in a second and we won't be the centre of attention." She could feel the boy relax slightly although it was only marginally at her words. Just as she predicted they were almost immediately joined by Tony and May, as neither of them had surviving parents they had decided Peter and May would be their partners for those dances although judging by her son's face her husband had neglected to tell the boy as much.
After what felt like hours to Peter Uncle Rhodey tapped him on the shoulder and cut in. He couldn't get off that floor quick enough, dancing was not for him it seemed. He sat down on a random chair and took his phone from his pocket to begin scrolling through twitter, before he had even unlocked it though a hand reached over his head and plucked it from him.
"I don't think so underoos," came his dad's voice from behind him, "you're coming with me, I haven't been round all the guests yet and you are coming with me not sulking in the corner." The man said gesturing for him to follow giving him no option to refuse.
Peter grumbled under his breath as he followed his dad towards the closest table, he hadn't been sulking he had literally just sat down for one second! He hated meeting people, it was always uncomfortable, he wasn't as confident as his dad.
"Peter Tonyson, you are no longer a baby I see!" Peter flushed as he looked up at Thor, before he could reply his dad had already started though.
"What! No!" he said with mock seriousness, "of course he's still a baby. My precious little boy." He said as he pinched the teens cheek.
Peter batted his hand away with a scowl, "I'm nearly 16 dad!" He ignored the man's theatrics at his words and greeted Thor and…oh my god…that was Loki! So cool! "Woah, Mr Loki. I've been wanting to meet you for ages. You're so cool!"
Tony smiled as his son started to babble away to the slightly bewildered god. However as soon as the boy began to ask Loki to turn him into a snake he dragged him away, he might tolerate the god and believe Thor and his science bro when they said he had changed but that did not mean he would let that maniac perform magic on his son. "Cool your jets there Bambi, we do not ask gods to perform magic on us okay. Important new rule kid." He ignored the kids eye roll as he continued on to the next table where it was mainly people from SI. Peter immediately launched himself into a conversation with some of the scientists in the robotics lab he had been doing a project with recently allowing him to accept congratulations and thank those around him for coming. They stayed there for fifteen minutes or so before he once again had to pull his son away, he wanted Peter to meet everyone there. Everyone at the wedding was important to himself and/or Pepper so as their son he wanted Peter to meet them all. Also it gave him the opportunity to show the boy off, he wanted everyone to know just how great his son was.
Peter was sure they had been at this for hours by now, He had to have spoken to everyone there by now! Sure it was really cool getting to meet Erik Selvig and he supposed Fury wasn't quite so terrifying this time around but he had also met his mom's assistants mom who had pinched his cheek and called him cute. He was not cute! Finally though his dad had let him sit down again, it was time to cut the cake so there was no need for him to do anything more for a while.
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
Rhodey grinned as he stood at the bar looking over the room, the happy couple were back on the dance floor as well as Nat and Bruce. Happy and Peter were sitting on the far side of the room with Thor and Loki so grabbing some beers he headed over.
"You got away from your dad I see Pete."
"Finally! I swear he would have glued me to his side if he could Uncle Rhodey." Laughing at the boys expense Rhodey simply ruffled his hair.
"You survived though kid, that's whats important. Now what's going on over here then boys?"
"Thor was going to show us how to play Asgardian Poker."
ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ-ʘ
When Tony walked over to the table his groomsmen and Asgardian guests had been at for the last several hours he was unsurprised to find almost all of them drunk, he was surprised however to see a huge pile of poker chips in front of his son, the boy couldn't lie to save his life so how he was winning at poker was beyond him. "Asgardian poker is easy dad, it's like maths, you hardly need to lie at all!" Well that was that mystery solved then. He placed a beer down in front of the boy, "only one and only because it's a special day and your uncles are here to watch you okay?" He looked at said men, "okay only because I gave it to you and it's a special day, they are in no state to be watching anyone."
Peter nodded up at his dad with a grin, "only one, got it." He popped the cap and took a swig and immediately tried not to grimace at the taste, he had drank beer before but he still wasn't a huge fan. That was beside the point though, he had been complaining about being dragged around like a child, he was not about to act like one now.
Tony could see his son wasn't a huge fan of the beer and couldn't help but let out a breath of relief, he never wanted his son to turn out like he did after all. But he did feel it was important to allow his son to drink moderately when around family, as a child and teenager he had never witnessed drinking that was not to get drunk and therefore thought it was normal behaviour. He would not allow his son to think the same way, he nudged the boy and perched on the edge of his seat throwing an arm over his shoulder as he drank his own non-alcoholic beer, it had been a long day for all of them. The best day of his life of course, but still long and exhausting, he couldn't wait to go home with his wife.
