"Are you ready?" Odin asked. Jane and Thor nodded, their attention focused on him. "Asgardians, we have gathered today in this great hall to celebrate a most joyous occasion: the union of Thor Odinson, Prince of Asgard and Jane Foster, learned scholar of Midgard," Odin said, looking around at the assembled people before his eyes landed on the couple standing before him. "I have witnessed the love that binds these two people, the faith Jane has placed in Thor, the fierceness with which Thor protects Jane. I have never seen a pair more worthy of being bound in wedded bliss. Thor Odison, you may kneel."
Thor knelt in front of Jane, Mjölnir held loosely in his right hand. He looked up at Jane between his blonde eyelashes; his bright blue eyes making her heart skip a beat. Jane knew she would never get over Thor's beauty: over his bright blue eyes that always shone with love and adoration as he looked at her, over his silky blond hair she loved to run her fingers through, over his broad shoulders and strong muscles he used to tirelessly protect her, Asgard, and all of Earth. Thor would simply never cease to take her breath away.
Thor smiled as he looked up at Jane, his heart swelling with love. He always thought Jane looked beautiful, whether she was wearing her own Midgardian clothes, one of his shirts that she slept in, even in the bed sheets she sometimes wrapped herself in during the early hours of the morning. But seeing her wearing an Asgardian gown took his breath away, the same way she did when she walked down the aisle on the roof of Stark Towers. Jane was the person he wanted to see every day until the end of time. He wanted to listen to her laughter every day, watch her brilliant smile grace her lips, see papers piled around her as she worked on her latest project, feel her fingers run through his hair soothingly after a difficult battle, and wrap his arms around her at night as they slept in their bed. Jane was whom he wanted, now and forever.
Loki's invisible hand squeezing his shoulder gently pulled Thor from his thoughts, focusing him on Odin's words. "Do you, Thor Odinson, swear to protect Jane Foster with every bit of strength you posses until your last breath?"
"I so swear," Thor replied, looking at Jane seriously.
"Do you swear to protect any child that becomes part of your family?"
"I so swear."
"Do you swear to stand by her side for all of time, to never waver in your loyalty to her?"
"I so swear."
"Do you swear to put no other before her, in your heart or mind?"
"I so swear."
"Do you swear to honor her until the end of your days?"
"I so swear."
"Do you swear to love her above all else, to never let the flame of your love be extinguished even in the harshest of times, but to instead nurture it?"
Thor smiled at Jane, sincerity and love making his eyes glow brightly. "I so swear."
"Jane Foster, the warrior has sworn his undying love and protection to you before all assembled here. Do you accept this man's proposal of marriage?" Odin asked as Thor raised Mjölnir, balancing it on his palms.
Jane gulped as she looked down at Mjölnir, her palms sweating. She knew what she was supposed to do; she was supposed to pick up Mjölnir and accept Thor's proposal. Sounded simple enough. The real question was would she be able to? She had never tried to pick up Mjölnir; she never had a reason to. Standing in front of hundreds of people probably wasn't the best time for her to find out. Thor's words bounced around her head, causing her stomach to twist into knots of nervousness.
"When I was cast out from Asgard, my father enchanted Mjölnir I discovered this once I had returned to Asgard and destroyed the Bifrost,' Thor said. 'Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.' That is why I could not raise Mjölnir when I found it in Midgard; I was not worthy of its strength."
'I wonder if I'm worthy,' Jane thought, reaching for Mjölnir. "I accept his offer," Jane said loudly, wrapping hand around Mjölnir's handle. She slowly lifted it off of Thor's hands. It was heavy; she felt as if it would pull her arm out of its socket, but it wasn't impossible to lift. Slowly, conscious of all the eyes watching her, she lifted Mjölnir, placing her other hand beneath it.
"She has accepted!" Odin declared to the thunderous applause of the gathered audience. Slowly Jane lowered Mjölnir, releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Thor rose from his knees, taking her face in his hands and kissing her passionately. "I love you," he whispered against her lips.
"I love you too," Jane replied breathlessly.
Odin cleared his throat, smiling at the couple. "If we may continue," he said, causing Jane to blush as she separated from Thor. "Queen Frigga, you may present them with your gift."
Frigga stepped forward, carrying a thin wooden box as she smiled at the happy couple. "I have worked tirelessly to weave this for you both; I do not think I have ever created a cloth so fine." She opened the box, pulling out a long bolt of cloth. Jane's eyes widened as she looked at the cloth Frigga held; it was made of red and blue swirls, reminding her vividly of the aurora borealis over the Arctic. "There is no cloth as strong as this one, as resistant to tear and damage," Frigga said as she wrapped it around Thor and Jane's shoulders. "May this forever be a symbol of your love. No matter what obstacles it may face, what hurdles it is forced to overcome, may your love be as strong and impenetrable as this cloth." Frigga stepped away from them, standing by Odin again.
"Asgardians, I give to you Thor Odinson and Lady Jane, Prince and Princess of Asgard!" Odin proclaimed.
