"Who would have thought that such a crazy, and nearly deadly, move would lead to an awesome wedding and after party." Clint stated.

"Only the bride can look better than me at this point." Tony said looking at himself in his new suit in the mirror.
"She's suppose to on her wedding day." Pepper declared with a light jab to her boyfriend's ribs.
"None of us have seen her as of yet but I am sure that Lady Natasha will be most glamorous." Thor stated.
"She will be." Bruce assured. "Steve's probably going to fall in love with her all over again when he sees her."
"I wouldn't blame him. She looks amazing every day and she's sure to be even more hot today." Tony said and saw the slight annoyed look from Pepper. "You're hot too."
"I bet I would look better in a wedding dress of my own." she said walking out of the room.
"Hint, hint." Clint chuckled.
"Hey, enough of that." Tony said before looking at his watch. "It's almost time. Let's go see if Cap is hurling his lunch up."
"I'll see you guys. I have to go find Nat." Clint said before walking the opposite direction.
"Don't trip walking her down the aisle." Tony said before the archer vanished around the corner.
The remaining three walked to another room and entered after a breif knock.
"Cap, got cold feet yet?" Tony asked with a smirk.
"No. Why?" Steve asked from in front of a mirror as he adjusted his tie.
"Not feeling the least bit nervous or about to faint?" Tony asked.
"Nope." Steve answered as he moved onto fixing his already perfectly combed hair.
"Steve, you are nervous." Bruce stated knowingly.
"He looks calm to me." Thor said.
"Look at the way he keeps fixing his suit and hair even though he'd already in perfect order." Bruce replied.
"Ok. I am a little nervous." Steve admitted with a small sigh.
"Don't be." Tony said. "It's just a little walk, stand for a few minutes, say some lovey dovey words and that's pretty much it."
"So why haven't you done it?" Steve replied with a smirk.
"What is it with everyone today?"
"Steve, you really don't have anything to be worried about." Bruce said. "Natasha's probably the one pacing a hole in the floor."
"Why?"
"She's thinks she doesn't deserve you." Tony answered. "She flat out told me that she thinks you're too good for her. That a former Russian assassin doesn't come close to earning the love of the American hero. I think she's afraid that you might take that seriously and leave before the rings are on."
"I wouldn't leave her. Not after everything we've been through."
"To her, there's still time for you to find an exit door to run through. But I think she'll realize she has nothing to fear when she sees you waiting for her at the alter." Bruce said.
Unbeknownst to the men, Clint and Pepper had their hands full with Natasha.
"He's going to change his mind. I just know he is." Natasha declared as she paced back and forth, holding the skirt of her ivory colored dress.
The color of the dress had been as close to an agreement that she and Steve came to. He had wanted her to wear white but she refused after claiming that she was far from pure and innocent.
After hearing how much Natasha wasn't going to change her mind, Steve agreed to the color she wanted.
Right now, Clint and Pepper were worried that Natasha might wear out her matching heels if she kept pacing so quickly.
"Natasha, you don't have anything to worry about." Pepper said. "Sit down before you collapse from this fake worry you're putting yourself through."
"I can't help it." Natasha said as she sat down, her silk veil nearly encircling her. "I don't deserve Steve. Not at all."
"Well, something is saying otherwise." Clint stated. "Nat, you and Steve are meant for each other. It was plain for any of us to see."
"I just can't believe that I, the Black Widow, am marrying Captain America." Natasha said. "I have no idea how this happened."
"You both fell in love." Pepper said. "Natasha, you're putting yourself down too much. There's something Steve sees in you that you're missing."
"What if I'm not good enough for him?" Natasha asked. "He's so perfect and I'm the complete opposite. I know that he's going to regret this whole thing."
"He will not." Clint said. "He wouldn't have gone through this whole thing if he doesn't really love you. You did put him through a lot of stuff for this wedding."
Natasha lightly smirked. The archer was right.
Steve had gone through a lot for this day but he seemed like he enjoyed it more than she did at times.
"Stop being so hard on yourself, take these flowers and let Clint walk you down that aisle." Pepper said handing Natasha her bouquet of roses.
The red haired woman took the flowers with a simple smile and stood. Her maid of honor gave her a quick touch up before handing her over to Clint.
"Smile more, Nat." Clint said. "This is your day."
Natasha smiled a little bigger and allowed Clint to lead her out of the room and toward the location where she would soon exchange vows and become a married woman.
Just as Clint and Peper had predicted, the wedding had gone by perfectly. Not even Tony's loud personality got out of control and did something to take attention from the newly married couple.
The reception had started and the couple had their first dance together. Once their slow dance was done, Clint and Tony had promptly taken over to liven up the reception.
"Alright everyone. Let's make this the most memorable wedding the world will ever know." Tony declared over the microphone.

"You both are lucky that no cops showed up because of all that noise." Natasha said.
"But it was memorable. Wasn't it?" Tony asked.
"You got that right." Steve agreed with a deadpan tone. "The news kept showing that little dance you two did for a week."
"They named it after us too!" Clint exclaimed with a grin.
"Yeah. The Iron Hawk dance." Bruce said.
