cute steve/tony wedding headcanons
Steve shyly confesses that he’s always imagined having a church wedding. Tony never imagined he’d get married at all. He’s not religious, but if it makes Steve happy then a big flowery church wedding it is.
Matt Murdock offers his services as an officiator, if Steve doesn’t mind the denomination? Steve is delighted by the idea of being married by a friend.
They still haven’t picked a venue, but Matt and Pepper are spotted deep in Serious Discussions. A few days later, they get an invitation from no less than the Archbishop of New York to get married in St Patrick’s. Just like that, their big church wedding is now an even bigger cathedral wedding.
There’s a brief argument about who is going to be in the bridal party. Aren’t best men old fashioned, and kind of sexist? They decide sod it, and invite the entire Avengers team to be their bridal party. At least there’s enough room in the cathedral to fit everyone in.
A few days before the ceremony, Bucky tries to give Tony the “If you hurt him I’ll hurt you” speech. But Tony’s so exhausted and over-emotional that he bursts into tears as soon as Bucky start talking. Bucky’s left there, panicking slightly, going “Shit, Stark, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I know how much you love him, and I’m so happy for you both, really, and yes, I love him too…”
Jan volunteers to make all the decorations, and does an amazing job, which everyone expected. What they didn’t expect was Natasha to get quite so involved in hand-making pompoms and blue and red paper bunting. When anyone even considers teasing her about it, she makes threatening motions with her scissors; that shuts them up fast.
Tony only just staves off a full-on panic attack the morning of the wedding and locks himself in the bathroom for a few hours, threatening to stay in there for good. Fortunately Pepper and Rhodey are on hand to coax him out by reminding him that he has to come out eventually or he’ll miss Steve looking dashing in his full military dress uniform.
Steve smiles all the time. He has, in fact, been smiling ever since Tony said yes. He smiles while he gets harangued by reporters, he smiles while he has to look at 87 different flower arrangements, he smiles while he argues with Tony about whether they should play AC/DC at the ceremony.
Of course the X-Men and the Defenders turn up, along with all the other New York heroes. Somewhat to everyone’s surprise, Doom, Magneto, and Whitney Frost come too. They sit serenely through the ceremony then tear up the dance floor together at the reception, making everyone else feel slightly uncomfortable.
At the end of the night, Doom quietly pulls Steve aside to impress How Very Fortunate he is and that he’d better do right by Tony, but if he ever mentions this conversation to him he’ll find a Doombot waiting for him. Steve just smiles and nods.
