The students filed out from your class as you dismissed them smiling you glanced down at the weight on your finger even though the announcement had been made months ago you never ceased to blush to know in a few days you will be y/n Xavier.
___
As soon as you stepped out from the class, you were yanked into the hallway. You pulled away to see Mystique beaming at you, and you groaned, "I'm sorry I forgot."
"I could tell but let's go you only get married once" she paused as she thought it over, "Well I hope only once" your glare melted as laughter exploded from you.
"I'll meet you at the car in five minutes. There's something I need to do first."
___
You knelt the breeze ruffled your hair the end of your coat stained by the damp soil under you. Placing the gold roses down on the dirt a sigh left your lips, but still, you set your hand against the cold surface. "I'll reserve you a seat Summers" you whispered.  With a final glance back at the grey stone you left.
___
"Hmm, definitely not" Mystique tutted her arms crossed as she shook her head - she really became the role of maid of honour- you groaned tugging on the dress before another one being dumped your arms and you pushed into the changing rooms.
After what seemed a lifetime of unacceptable dresses you were on your last wick you stepped out daring Mystique to critic. Mystique stood a sparkle in her eyes, "this one."

You looked at your reflection in the mirror the dress the gold weaved throughout the white of the dress hugged to your figure. It was breathtaking.
You giggled as Mystique twirled you around to the music, "just like in the division" she laughed you nodded smiling.
___
As you and Mystique arrived back home the students bustled around you eager to catch a glimpse of the dress. Mystique gently put the dress away in your bedroom. Charles wasn't too traditional but this custom he made sure to keep his word on the broom can't see the bride for a whole day before. This leaving you back at your old room.
___
You were lying on your bed your fingers drawing patterns in the air as golden swirls danced between your fingers.
Love? Charles spoke through his mind
Yes, Charlie?
I love you... that's all
I love you Charlie you giggled softly imagining Charles in his room you could almost see the small pout on his lips as he struggled to not just barge over to see you.
SensingCharles response you interjected
Go to sleep Charles
Good night love
You closed your eyes falling asleep with a smile your mind on your telepath and his on yours.
____
As soon as you felt hands on you shaking you awake, you immediately projected a forcefield cursing as you realised it was just Jean with Mystique behind her, "I thought beauty sleep was a must?" You teased
As if on a time limit they hurried you to the bathroom where you left to shower.
Breakfast was handed to you it was mainly fruit yet you ate all of it.
____
The rest of the day went by in a series of events: from makeup, hair, dress fitting to a spa day it was never-ending. You were whirled around the mansion being pampered while simultaneously reading over your vows.
"Done" Mystique exclaimed showing you to a mirror - your hair transformed into a fairytale like waves that cascaded of your shoulders a braid crowned the top of your head.  You finished powdering your face and looked in the mirror satisfied with your makeup, the whole look transformed you into someone quite else.
____
You could barely remember what happened next as nerves started to creep up on you but here you were. Behind the oak doors donned with elegant decoration that the students all contributed to. The mansion was completely unrecognisable as a school it looked like a palace: candles, flowers, selection of foods and beverages.
You could here the murkier and rustled of people - the audience other side of that door. Breathing in Hank linked arms with you to walk you down the aisle: he was the closest thing to family now with Summers gone and no living family. You looked up to him, ." you look beautiful n/n. Charles is very lucky."
____
The doors flew open as you squeezed Hanks hand following the youngest students who lead the way, Mystique and Jean and a fellow teacher and friend Darcie following you from behind as maid of honour and bridesmaids.
As you walked down the aisle your mind praying you don't trip you felt everyone's eyes on you, all the students cute smiles and gasps seeing you in the gown. From the corner of your eyes you saw Wade- for once in a suit: the only xmen related event he wasn't forced to go even he couldn't  if not to face the wrath of all the xmen plus you were one if not the only xmen he didn't mind - Wade winked at you, and you smiled. Your eyes travelled up the pews until focusing on the love of your life. Your heart leapt out of your chest as butterflies swarmed you, there he sat in his chair clad in a dashing suit. The light reflected of the lake making almost it a whole new world: your eyes met his brilliant blue ones, and Charles smiled so warmly and so filled with admiration and love all your nerves vanished.
You could faintly hear the music stop as you did too: turning to Hank your smile not wavering as he pulled you in for a hug before leaving to stand beside Erik who remained Charles best man.
____
The wedding officiate smiled fondly between the two lovers, "do you Y/n l/n take Charles Francis Xavier?"
You turned your gaze down onto Charles you could see in the reflection of his eyes you were shimmering a slight gold you paused for a second before answering.
"I do" Charles spoke clearly his eyes Never once left yours you squeezed his hands as he struggled to his feet with your held. Pulling each other close your arms snuck around his waist keeping him standing while his hands on the small of your back you looked through your lashes into his eyes mesmerised. His lips were on yours a soft passionate kiss shared between you to. A new beginning.
You could hear a chorus of cheers and someone whooped.
