It's Superman and Wonder Woman's wedding!
Clark Kent awoke in his apartment in Metropolis with one thought in his mind, he was getting married. He turned around to catch a glimpse of Diana, sleeping, but she wasn't there. Oh right. They both decided to not see each other before the wedding as they felt it would make seeing each other in their wedding more special. And so she stayed in his Fortress of Solitude. He was hesitant with the idea at first but he eventually agreed.
He got up; still a bit tired-as he barely slept properly last night from anticipation- but was filled with excitement. He went straight to the kitchen to eat his breakfast so that he could immediately fly off and prepare for his wedding. He searched around the rooms for Jimmy but he was nowhere to be seen. It was then that Clark noticed the note lying on the kitchen counter:
Hey CK I'm sorry I had to leave early and miss my turn in making breakfast again but I got called in to work today. And you know how insistent Lois can be so I couldn't exactly say no. Sorry
Jimmy
Great, he's escaped from his turn again. It had been weeks since Clark remembered Jimmy cooking in the kitchen. Although he couldn't doubt Jimmy in his reasons for leaving immediately, he still couldn't help but wonder whether it was Jimmy's revenge on Clark for bailing on him again:
"Hey Clark," Jimmy called out to him as he continuously ate from a big pack of crisps," what are you doing tomorrow? I'm off so we can hang out"
I'm getting married tomorrow, Clark thought to himself
"I'm sorry I can't," he apologized, "I have to go to Smallville to pick up some things"
"You're bailing on me again?!" Jimmy was surprised, "I thought since you quit your job you would have had more free time than me and here I am hearing you're too busy to hang out with me? Don't tell me your blog takes up more time than you thought. Also, whenever I want to hang out with you at home, your girlfriend- no offence to her- spends time with you instead"
"You know this apartment is practically Diana's second home," Clark argued
"Fine I can't argue with you about that but I'm pretty sure she hates me"
She's annoyed by you, Clark replied in his thought
"No she doesn't," he lied "Look I'm sorry Jimmy but I actually have a lot going on"
"Like what? You barely tell me anything anymore"
"There are problems in my farm in Smallville that I had to take care of" Clark lied again
Jimmy sighed, "Fine I can't argue with you about that as well I guess"
"Thanks Jimmy and I'm sorry"
Clark genuinely felt sorry that he couldn't hang out more with Jimmy but as he quit his work in the Daily Planet, he also took in more responsibilities as Superman.
Clark finally shook the thought from his mind and cooked his breakfast. After finishing his eggs and waffles, he quickly took a shower and wore his Superman costume. After which, he flew towards the direction to Smallville.
Telling Jimmy he had to pick something up from Smallville wasn't a total lie. He wanted to wear a suit on his wedding day and so he encouraged members of the Justice League who were attending to wear suits and dresses instead of their superhero costumes. He though it was befitting for him and Diana to marry each other as themselves and in front of their real friends, not as people wearing masks. Clark decided to wear the suit his father wore on his father and mother's wedding day, which continued to lie inside their farm house in Smallville.
Clark flew down in their front porch and entered the house. He ran towards his bedroom to pick up the suit which had been dry cleaned two days before. The suit looked elegant and well maintained despite its old age. This alone was enough for Clark to convince himself to wear the suit. He then grabbed the comlink and called to Cyborg to beam him up to Watchtower for his wedding.
"There's the groom!" Green Lantern shouted as Superman arrived in Watchtower
"I'm not late aren't I?" he asked immediately
"No you're quite early" Flash reassured him, "but we better get you changed, well," he looked at himself and others, "we all got to get ourselves changed"
Batman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman and Cyborg stood beside them quietly as Green Lantern slowly pushed Superman to a nearby room.
"Now come on," Lantern continued to push Superman, "it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding"
"I thought it's bad luck to see them in their wedding dres-"
"Potato, potahto" he waved his hand, "come on let's go"
"But-"
"We've prepared everything you told us to," J'onn told him, "so everything is fine"
"Businesses in the Justice League is also under control Superman" Cyborg informed him
"Don't worry about anything else," Batman reassured him with a smile, "we'll each be in the other rooms to change. Go"
"Thanks guys" Superman smiled to his friends
Clark was pushed inside an empty room that consisted of only a bed and a chair. He finally realized that it was one of the many identical rooms in Watchtower whose main purpose is to be a place for the Justice League members to rest.
As he changed from his costume and onto his suit, his super-hearing picked up the sound of Diana arriving in the Watchtower. He smiled as he soon thought of what Diana would look like in her wedding dress; as well as the fact that in less than an hour, they will be married. With this he hurried himself in changing.
He was finally ready: his suit perfectly fit him, his hair was neatly combed and he couldn't remove the grin from his face. He was both anxious and excited at the same time.
The men of the Justice League arrived in the room wearing their suits and without their masks making Batman as Bruce Wayne, Green Lantern as Hal Jordan, Flash as Barry Allen, Aquaman as Arthur Curry and although Cyborg still had his robotic features in his body, he still managed to fit himself in a suit just like the others. The only exception was J'onn who did wore a suit as well but with a white robe over his body. This was because he insisted in performing the wedding himself by being ordained. He thought that it might help him to further understand the way things worked in Earth.
"I gotta say," Hal began as he turned to J'onn, "you look really different with a suit and robe on"
"Thank you Hal Jordan"
"In fact," Barry interjected, "we all look different together without our costumes on, especially Batman… or Bruce. It's weird"
"I guess this is the first time we are all together not as superheroes but as our normal selves" Arthur told them
"Anyway," Bruce cleared his throat and turned to Clark, "are you ready?"
"I can't believe it" Zatanna shook her head, "Superman and Wonder Woman is getting married today. How are you feeling Diana?"
Diana turned around from looking at the mirror and onto Zatanna, Shiera and Kara. She took a deep breath and said, "Fantastic"
"Marriage is both scary and fantastic," Mera told her, "and I'm glad that it is Superman who you decided to share it with. I was lucky with Arthur and that is why I find myself completely devoted to him"
"The bond you and Arthur share Mera," Diana replied, "is one I would want to share with Clark for the rest of my life"
"You might not know this but you and Superman already share a greater bond," Mera smiled to her, "so cherish it"
"We will" Diana hugged her
"You look absolutely beautiful" Shiera complimented her
"Thank you Shiera"
Zatanna and Shiera were new members of the Justice League but Superman and the others has treated them as if they have been in the Justice League as long as they have from the maturity that they have shown in handling battles. Supergirl, on the other hand, was still reluctant in joining but Diana knew that with patience and guidance, Supergirl will eventually join them.
Each of the ladies wore red matching bridesmaid dresses while she, on the other hand, wore her own white wedding dress. Her wedding dress was a strapless design with small diamonds around the chest and stomach of the dress. There was also a small lace attached by the side of the dress.
"I will go and check whether they're ready" Kara volunteered
"Thank you"
Diana was ready. She was ready to go and marry the man she loved- to be with him forever.
"May I come in?" a knock came from the door
Clark turned around to see his cousin enter and approach him
"Hi Supergirl" Hal waved his hand to her
"Hello Green Lantern?" she tried to match each of the men's faces with their superhero masks
"That's me" he smiled
She was happy that she got it right the first time that she giggled to herself for a moment. She then turned to face Clark again.
"I came here to see if you're ready" she told him
"We are," Clark replied, "is she?"
"Yes," she patted him on the shoulder, "are you nervous?"
"Quite," he took a deep breath
"Don't be," she smiled to him, "you will be fine, both of you will"
"How do you know?"
"The smile you give out whenever you're with Diana?" she told him, "it's the same smile Jor-El gave to Lara, your mother"
"I guess I am my father's son then"
"You are but," she continued, "you are also yourself. Your smiles came from the love you felt for Diana and it is this love that has always given you strength and will continue to in the future. I might not have experienced it before but I have seen it through your parents and now, both of you and that is why I know"
"Thank you" he smiled to her as he felt at ease through her words
"Clark?" Bruce patted him on the shoulder from behind, "it's time"
Clark entered the massive room whose highlight is the wide window that presented the beautiful view of Earth from above. It was the perfect scene that helped set the mood. In the middle of the room, there stood an archway with white roses attached around it. J'onn stood in the middle of the archway. Two flower stands with irises hanging from them also stood in front of J'onn but from each sides of the long red carpet that lay across the floor. To Clark, this preparation was simple yet elegant. He walked on the red carpet and to the front where he stood beside J'onn. Bruce, on the other hand, stood next to his other side. He was his best man, after all. Hal Jordan walked across the red carpet while carrying the pillow with two rings on them. He grinned as he walked and stood by the far side. Clark saw Barry silently shook his head at the sight of Hal.
Everyone was prepared.
Soon enough, Shiera, Kara and Zatanna walked one by one down the aisle in their bridesmaid dresses and flowers. Everyone was at awe on how different and beautiful they looked from their superhero selves.
Though Clark was even more speechless at what he's seen next.
Diana appeared from the bottom of the aisle in her wedding dress. Clark could not believe at how beautiful Diana looked. He expected she would look even more pretty than she already was before but he never expected just how beautiful. She was radiant. She looked like a true goddess, no, she was a true goddess.
Clark's eyes were fixated on her the whole time that he didn't realize she was already in front of him, staring into his eyes.
"Kal?" she called out in a whisper
Clark finally snapped out of his daze and saw that everymen in the room were just as frozen as he was, perhaps more.
"You're absolutely beautiful," Clark complimented her, "you're mesmerising"
"And you look very dashing" she whispered to him
J'onn cleared his throat to get the attention of everybody in the room. Clark took both of Diana's hands and held them
"Dearly beloved," he began, "we have gathered here today to witness the joining of these two lovers, Clark and Diana. All of us, as I'm sure, have witnessed love in many different ways, whether it was through family, friends or lovers, we have witnessed it and experienced it." He then looked at the two, "Though in all the years I have lived, I have never seen a love as strong and powerful as these two shares. And because of this, I am certain that they will live happily and forever strong as long as they are together." He turned to look at Hal, "May I have the rings?"
Hal slowly walked towards them with the pillow where the rings rested, on his hands. They each took a ring.
"Diana," Clark looked into her eyes, "ever since I found out I was different than the others, I thought that I would never be able to have a normal life; and that meant I would never be able to settle down like any normal person. I never even thought I would be able to find that special girl until you came along. You made me believe again Diana, believe that I could have a happy life even if not as normal as the others. Because you are the light that cleared the fog in my life, the light that showed me where I'm meant to go.; I can't imagine being with anyone but you" he slipped the ring through her ring finger," I promise to always protect you Diana, I love you"
"Clark," Diana looked into his eyes, "I grew up believing that men will betray you once you get close with them but when I met you and got to know you, I knew right then and there that those beliefs were false because I immediately felt safe with you, as if I could trust you with my life and I could. I realized that I have been blind my whole life. It was only when you showed me the truth by becoming the light that you are. That's why today, I'm marrying you not as Princess Diana of Themscyra, but just as Diana. I never imagined I would fall madly in love with someone until you came into my life and it's because of that I am grateful you are in my life and now," Diana slid the ring through his ring finger, "knowing that you will continue to be in my life, I cannot wait to spend the rest of it with you, I promise to be with you forever, I love you Kal"
"And by the power vested in me," J'onn concluded, "I now pronounce you husband and wife," he turned to Clark, "you may now kiss the bride"
Diana quickly jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck and passionately kissed him. Clark held her tightly as he kissed her- his wife.
Cheers and claps erupted around the room as the two continued to kiss. They finally let go of each other to look at others who continued to clap and smile to them. Zatanna suddenly released a flock of doves which magically transformed into red and white petals as soon as they reached the top. The petals then continued to fall down the happy couple and their friends.
Clark swoop Diana off her feet and onto his arms. He carried her on his arms as they walked through the claps and cheers of everyone in the room. Diana kissed him again- her husband and whispered,
"I love you Superman"
"I love you Wonder Woman"
