"Are you sure you want to do this?" Natasha asks me, staring at me through the mirror.

I look down at the bright gown I'm wearing. It supposedly white, but I have no clue. It could be blue or pink, I don't know.

"Yes. The colors will come eventually, I just know it." I smile at her.

Steve and I haven't seen colors yet, but even if they never come; I won't care. I love Steve and that's all that matters.

"If you're sure," Nat helps me put my veil in, I take a deep breath.

I'm actually getting married, this is something I would've never expected.

Steve and I met when he saved me from one of Hydra's camps. They had injected me with the serum and tried to make me theirs, but Steve found me and saved me before then.

Ever since then, Steve and I have been inseparable. It was only a matter of time before we fell in love.

"Beautiful."

"Thanks Nat, I don't know what I would've done without you."

"Don't thank me, you deserve it."

A small knock is heard at the door, and Tony's head peeks into the room with his hand covering his eyes.

"Everyone decent?"

"Yes Tony," I laugh. He takes his hand off his eyes and finally looks at me.

"Wow, you look amazing Gem, stunning even." He looks at me with pride in his eyes.

When Steve saved me, he brought me back to the Avengers base, it's where I met Tony and Nat.

Tony is like a dad to me; my parents died a long time ago, so I'm so glad to have him always there for me.

And Nat? She's like a sister; they're like the family I never had, but always wanted.

I take one last look in the mirror, breathing in deeply, "I'm ready."

Tony opens the large brass doors for me as I exit the room, I've never been more nervous in my life.

What if Steve doesn't want to marry me anymore? What if I trip? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I look bad?

Tony links his arm with mine as he takes me to the aisle, "Stop worrying, everything will be just fine okay? Steve loves you and he can't wait to marry you."

"Are you sure?" I ask worriedly.

"Positive."

I take another deep breath, I'm still so nervous.

I try to distract myself by looking around the venue as we wander down the lengthy halls. Shiny things are hanging from just about every corner. Flowers descend from the ceiling, as simple darker accents appear every now and then.

It's a shame I don't know what colors they all are. Deep down I know Steve isn't my soulmate, and that my soulmate is out there somewhere, but I also know that I love Steve and this is what I want to do.

Tony suddenly stops walking, and I realize we are in front of the door that leads to the ceremony. Suddenly, a million butterflies burst into my stomach.

Oh my god, I'm so nervous.

I don't really have any bridesmaids, but I guess that's my fault for not making many friends. Nat appears next me with a bucket of flower petals. Giving me a toothless smile, she steps in front of me and opens the door.

It's as if everything slowly turned into slow motion, Natasha gracefully steps onto the aisle and begins gently throwing flower petals in her wake.

But as soon as she stepped onto the aisle, she was done and on the other end.

I swallow back anything threatening to make an appearance and step forward.

Tony, with our arms still linked, guides me to the front of the aisle; loud, graceful music is heard throughout the ceremony. Everyone finally stands and looks at me.

But my eyes go directly to the man I'm here for. 

Mr. Steve Rodgers.

His eyes dance across my body, as if he's not sure where to look first. I give him a big smile, as both of our eyes well up in tears.

I keep our eyes locked, as he just keeps getting closer and closer. Soon enough, I'm right in front of him and Tony lets my arm go.

He leans into my ear, "You got this, don't be nervous," Tony whispers before giving me a nod of reassurance and walking to his seat.

I look up into the eyes of the man I love, he scrunches his nose and whispers, "Hi."

"Hi."

"We're gathered here today-"
