Summary: Without further ado, the Westallen wedding!! We all know how this is going to go down, but there may be some twists and turns thrown in there (especially for everyone who read the original version of Breathe.)

Kara woke up to the smell of coffee brewing. She sat up and stretched—glancing at Sara, and Caitlin. They were still asleep in their sleeping bags. So, she slides out of her bag, and made her way down to the kitchen. She finds Joe and Iris chatting over a cup of coffee.

Iris looks bright-eyed as ever, while Joe looks half asleep. Poor guy, he was probably up half the night worrying about the wedding. Kara thought to herself.

She sends them a smile, still half asleep herself. "Wanna cup?" Iris asks, waiting for Kara's answer. Kara nods, and Iris grabs a mug from the cupboard. Pouring it a quarter way full of the steaming hot liquid. "Do you want any sugar, creamer?"

"Yes please," Kara nods once more.

"How much?"

"A spoonful of sugar, and just whenever you think is good on the creamer. I'm not picky," She feels a bit guilty for Iris making her coffee on her wedding day, but Iris doesn't seem to mind doing it, so she pushes the feelings down.

Iris does as she says, then she stirs it, and hands it to Kara. "So, are you nervous at all for today?" She asks, after a few beats of silence.

Iris shakes her head. "No, not at all. I'm the happiest I've been in my life, and even though I know it's going to be invaded with Nazis or whatever, I'm just excited at the prospect of spending forever with Barry."

This makes Kara place a hand on her heart and let out an 'awh.' "Plus, even with the whole Nazi situation, I know that there's nothing that you all can't handle, so I trust you."

"You're amazing Iris. I'm so happy for you and Barry," Kara sets down her mug for a second, and pulls Iris in for a hug. Iris seems shocked, but finally relaxes into it.

"Thank you," Iris murmurs.

"No, thank you! For letting me be here and for putting your trust in me—in all of us," they pull back after a bit. Wide grins on their faces. Joe watches the whole scene unfold.

"Right now, the only thing I'm thankful for is this coffee. 'Cuz damn," the girls look at Joe when he says this, he stares lovingly at his cup. They bust out laughing. "What?! You know I'm not a morning person."

Kara stands in front of the church, waiting for Oliver to show up. The wedding was about to start in a few minutes, and it couldn't start without it's best man. Nor, the singer.

Last night, Barry had asked Kara to sing at the wedding. He asked her to sing the song he sang to Iris the night he proposed. So, she reviewed the lyrics, and memorized them until she was sure she wouldn't mess up.

She scans the bustling sidewalk once more, not spotting him. Until, he taps her on the shoulder. She turns around, he's smiles sheepishly. "Hey, sorry I'm late, it took me forever to find this place," he apologizes.

She holds up her hands, showing it's okay. "We should get inside, the wedding is about to start." She takes his hand, and tugs on it. Walking towards the church. He trails behind.

Inside, the rows are packed with friends and family talking in hushed tones. Kara lets go of his hand, and they go to their allocated spots. Oliver beside Barry, Kara behind the mic.

Suddenly, everyone gets quiet. The small ensemble behind Kara started playing their instruments. Barry nods at her, and that's her cue.

"Can't say how the days will unfold,
Can't change what the future may hold
But, I want you in it
Every hour, every minute
