"Do you, Wanda Maximoff, take Natasha Romanoff as your lawful wife, until death do you part?"

"I do."

"And do you, Natasha Romanoff, take Wanda Maximoff as your lawful wife, until death do you part?"

"I absolutely do."

"By the power vested in me by the State of New York, I now pronounce you wife and wife."

Nat's POV:

It was a very simple wedding but it was the best ceremony we both could ever ask for because everyone we love and care about are present. And to top it off, Steve is even our marriage officiant. It was held at the rooftop of the new Stark Tower that overlooks the city of New York. We didn't want a big celebration because for us, the whole occasion would just turn into one big hassle.

The ceremony ended with everyone cheering for the both of us. It's great to see people who you consider as family to feel happy for you.

I didn't want to waste any more time because part of being an Avenger are risks. We also don't know when or where dangers are going to strike. Thanos and Magneto is just a start and I bet we have a lot more to go through all throughout the years. That's why after the whole dilemma about Magneto ruining the multiverse and when Wanda chose me over what was supposed to be 'her perfect universe', I wanted to ask her to marry me already. Finally understanding why Tony married Pepper right after the war against Thanos.

If I was already brave before, I am now fearless because I get to save the world or universe or I don't know... the multiverse, with my wife right beside me this time. I wasn't scared of death before because I know that I got nothing to lose. But that kind of mindset has pros and cons. Getting into war or a battlefield is easier but if I am not careful enough, I could die and I am no longer able to help the team save more lives. So, not getting scared of death is kind of a dead weight for the team too. Whereas now that I have Wanda with me, death is not an option as much as possible. Because I want to live my life and see what the future holds for the both of us.

Making Wanda my wife is a win-win, really. I get even more motivated to fulfill my job plus I get to do it with her by my side.

"Got something in your mind, my love?" Wanda asked as she brushes her thumb against my hand.

"Just that--," I sighed in content as I cupped her cheek with the palm of my hand before continuing, "I have never been this happy in my entire life and it's crazy because just when I thought that things couldn't get better, it just keeps topping our best moments that are already stacking on top of each other. It's amazing." I tittered. Her thumb wiped the tear that escaped my eye before giving me a peck on the lips.

"Ditto, my sweet, sweet love." she smiled.

"Shall we, Mrs. Romanoff?" I gushed. Holding out my hand to hers so I can lead her to the chopper lined for our honeymoon.

Her cheeks suddenly turned pink, feeling flustered after hearing her married name for the first time. "You know, I had mixed feelings about taking your surname but now that I heard it from someone else, I would just like to be called that way." she grinned.

"Well, I wouldn't want to call you that in a battlefield. You might get distracted." I chuckled.

"Right. It does cast a special spell on me, Mrs. Romanoff." she winked.
