Chapter 45

Bruce's POV

Time Skip... Two Days Later... Wedding Day...

  These past two days without being able to see Liz have been the longest two days of my life thus far. I'm so incredibly nervous and excited. My skin keeps shifting from its normal skin tone to green. Like I'm glad Hulk is excited for the big day just as much as I am, but I would prefer for him not to make an appearance again until long after the ceremony. I take a deep breath and adjust my tux. I fiddle around with my tie several times while every male Avenger in the room laughs at me. T'Challa grins at me. "Dr. Banner, you look good. Elizabeth is a very nice girl and I can tell how much she loves you very much. If she didn't love you, she wouldn't have done all that she has for you." 

    I sigh and nod in agreement. "You're right T'Challa, thank you for the reassurance. You're a good guy. Thank you again for your hospitality in Wakanda during those dark times. It was truly appreciated. Also, sorry for bowing to you and looking like an idiot. Rhodey set me up for that." T'Challa laughs. "Don't sweat it, I was flattered. Sadly, very few people acknowledge the fact that I am the king of Wakanda. They respected my father, but me, not so much. I'm still earning their trust despite having been on the throne for awhile. If anything were to happen to me, Shuri would take over as queen." 

     I nod, taking all of that in. "You're a fine king T'Challa. You'll have all of your people's trust eventually. Not only are you the king of Wakanda which is impressive in itself, but you're also the Black Panther. You have super strength and you're a badass hero. You're stronger than many of the Avengers." Steve, Tony, Thor, and Clint playfully gasp. I roll my eyes. "Don't be like that guys. We're the original Avengers along with Nat. Only the six of us have those bragging rights." We all make small talk with another for a few more minutes before it's time for me to walk down that alter to meet the love of my life. 

     I head up the altar with very shaky legs but manage to get up in tact. I stand up there awkwardly fidgeting for a few minutes before everyone else comes in, finds their seats, and my heart begins to race. When Liz walks into the room, the rest of the world is far from view. I make eye contact with her, nearly drool, and simply look at her in awe. She looks absolutely radiant, beautiful, and every other adjective that could possibly be used to describe one's beauty. Her wedding dress is cream colored, has a V-Neck line, little daises implemented in different parts of the fabric of the dress, and flows down every so nicely. Liz truly looks like a queen. 

      She gets handed over to me by Tony. I gently grab a hold of her hands and the two of us are like lovesick puppies staring at each other with all the love in the world. We exchange our vows, which are absolutely moving on both ends. We then are allowed to bestow our wedding rings on one another's fingers and kiss in order to make it official that we're hitched. Our kiss is the best one yet. Everyone in the crowd cheers, somewhere wedding bells actually ring, and Liz is now Elizabeth Banner. Becoming an Avenger despite being somewhat of a curse was one of the best days of my life but today, in this moment, this is truly the best day of my life. #weddingday #marriagegoals
