Steve stood on the stage before his whole family and friends. A smile played on his lips as his eyes never left his wife's beautiful green eyes he so loved getting lost into. "Thank you so much everyone for coming here tonight." He smiled. "I can't believe the reason why we're here tonight. I can't believe that we've been married for ten long years and that we still haven't had enough of each other."
"Ew!" Shouted the little boy of six years old who was sitting beside Steve's wife. A laugh was heard from everyone amused by the boy's antics.
Steve laughed. "Thank you, James." He said wiggling his glass towards the table at the center of the room. "Anyway, I think I should recall memories that mostly all of you have already heard but heh, who can be against a little throwback?"
"I'm always going to remember the night we met. It was unexpected and I just can't seem to forget it. That night, Bucky literally had to drag me to the party, to Tony's party. Well, anyone who has been to one of the Tony Stark's parties knows how it can be. I can't thank Bucky enough for dragging me there that night because if he hadn't I wouldn't have met the woman I have the huge pleasure of calling my wife today."
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
"It was in a corridor, she thought I was somebody else and she just kissed me. Now, I don't know if you can say that it was stupid of me because she was a total stranger but I kissed her back. We pulled apart when someone turned on the light of the corridor and I think it's around that moment that her fist and my nose met." A bunch of laughs were heard from the people present into the room.
"She excused herself and took me to the kitchen to get some ice for my bleeding nose, thank you honey." He said with a chuckle and wiggled his glass again but this time towards his wife. "We talked and talked, and I don't know something just clicked between us. You know what I mean?"
You made me feel as though I wasenough
"Then later, she was the one who had to drag me to dancefloor. We were immediately careless with each other and it's insane because I immediately trusted her, it felt as though I had always known her. Does that mean that I had met my soulmate?"
Wedanced the nightaway, wedranktoomuch
"We then ended up in the bedroom she was staying in, we drank again and again. I will, however, spare you the details of what happened in that bedroom."
"Boooo!" Tony yelled at him, his arms wrapped around his mouth to make himself heard and in doing so, he made the crowd laugh again.
I held your hairback when / Youwerethrowingup
Steve rolled his eyes out of despair, but a smile still played at his lips. "As drunk as I was, I couldn't just let her go come home alone. I helped her into her house and well, we ended up in the bathroom with her head into the towel bowl."
People laughed at Steve's statement, his wife shook her head while his son clasped over his stomach as he laughed. The blonde haired man continued his speech. "Then she looked at me and I swear to God she was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. Her hair so messy and her makeup was smudged. In this disastrous state she looked so young, so carefree, so pretty."
Then you smiled over your shoulder / For a minute, I was stone-coldsober
"I helped her into bed and no, nothing happened at that moment." He smiled.
I pulled you closer to my chest
"She wanted me to spend the night at her house, she didn't want me to go home because of my own drunkenness."
And you asked me to stayover
"I accepted, told her to sleep and I watched her for a moment." He said watching over the crowd and saw his wife's eyebrow lift up in surprise. "Yeah, that's kind of creepy."
I said, I alreadytoldya / Ithink that you shouldgetsomerest
"But hey, I was just a young boy who met a beautiful girl and who unknowingly fell in love with her."
I knew I loved you then
"The following days and weeks, we talked and talked some more. I knew I had fallen in love with her but I was too much of a chicken to admit it out loud."
But you'dneverknow
"I was so close to confessing my feelings to her a couple of times. You know those moments when you're laying together, cuddling and holding one another and you just want to express your feelings. I was so scared to tell her, so much scared that she was the one to say I love you first."
'Cause I played it cool when I wasscaredofletting go
"And just like the idiot I am, I took flight. Took me some time to get brave enough to face her again. I went to her house and told her what I felt for her.
I know I needed you / But I nevershowed
"I told her I wanted to be with her till the end of time. I wanted and I still want to see the world change by her side."
But I wannastay with you until we're grey and old
"There is one thing I asked her in exchange. To never let us go, to never let me go."
Just say you won't let go / Just say you won't let go
"Last Tuesday it was our official 10th year anniversary and I told myself I would treat you like you are the most important person in the world which you are, for me."
I'llwake you up with some breakfast in bed
"I wanted to make you happy and to make our tenth anniversary count. I made her breakfast in bed which kind of happens a lot but it's still sweet."
I'llbring you coffee with a kiss on your head
"I took James and Natalia to school even though they begged me to stay with her for our special day."
"We would've of made it perfect!" James said loudly as he put his hands around his mouth.
And I'lltake the kids to school
"Yes, of course." Steve said with a smile. "I dropped them off and I went home. I had told her that I was going to take her somewhere."
Wavethemgoodbye
"And boy, when I came home I was met by the most beautiful woman I have such deeply feelings for. She was wearing the exact same dress she had on when we first met. I would never be thankful enough to Bucky for dragging me to Tony's penthouse."
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night
"The moment she looked at me, I immediately saw it. That beautiful smile she had that night, still playing on her lips. Her eyes still shone the same way."
When you lookedover your shoulder
"I still felt like that young boy that didn't know where life would take him."
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
"I just wanted to take her hand, pull her to me, put on our favorite song and dance with her. Hell, I always want to be dancing with her."
I wanna dance with you rightnow
"Honey, even after ten years you look as beautiful as ever. You still manage to surprise me and to take my breath away."
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
"Our days together are far from coming to an end. I will never let go you, if you never let go of me. Each upcoming days will be more amazing, I know it."
And I swear that everyday'llgetbetter
"When I'm with you, darling, I still feel like I'm that young boy. I feel like I'm in the clouds, almost that I am dreaming because that's what being with you feels like."
You make me feelthis way somehow
"I love you so much, Natasha. I love you more than I ever thought I would."
I'm so in love with you
"I think, no, I hope you know just how much I love you and how much I care about you."
And I hope you know
"I love to be loved by you. Your love is better than anything in the world and I could never get enough if it."
Darling your love is more thanworthitsweight in gold
"Now, after ten long years with you I look back to the way we used to be and I can't believe just how much we've changed for the better."
We've come so far my dear / Look how we've grown
"I hope that we get to spend the following years together. I want to see how much we can still change together in the following ten years, even twenty years or until the day we die."
And I wannastay with you until we're grey and old
"I love you so much that I would never be able to let go of you. I don't want you to fall out of love for me and I know you promised me to never stop loving me, but I am constantly anxious that you will."
Just say you won't let go
"But you being the amazing woman that you are, you always make me feel at ease and only you can calm my anxiousness."
Just say you won't let go
"You are such an easy-going person who is an amazing mother and person. You are so great that I want to live with you even after we're buried."
I wanna live with you/ Even when we're ghosts
"I would never thank you enough for giving me the most precious things in the world; our children. I would never thank you enough for being the most incredible wife a man could ask for."
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
"I will love you to end of times. I'm with you till the end of the line."
"Hey!" Bucky protested with his hands up in the air.
I'm gonna love you 'til / Mylungsgive out
Steve and Natasha laughed as they both looked at Bukcy with an 'oops' look. The blonde haired man smiled and his eyes found his wife's again. "I will be with you for as long as you want me to be by your side."
I promise 'tildeath we part like in our vows
"Now, I hope that this little speech, which was fully written by me," He winked. "Made you happy and made you realize just how much you mean to me."
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
"Nat, it's you and me until death and beyond." He gave her his boyish grin. "Well, that was kind of creepy."
Finally it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
"I love you." He smiled. "Nobody but you."
"If you don't kiss him, I will!" Tony shouted and everyone urged Natasha to go up on the stage.
The woman smiled and raised up from her chair. She took hold of her dress and pulled it up slightly so she could walk better. She walked up to the stage and grabbed his head pulling his head towards her as she smashed their lips together.
"I love you, Steve."
"I love you, Natasha Rogers."
