WE HIT 100k+!!!!! Also I'm sorry for how long this took. Also also there are a lot of gay ships in here just an FYI. No joke I think there's like 4 straight ships total. Oh well. Happy reading! —————- Tony had known even before he was engaged that Peter would be a part of his wedding. Probably not best man (that would go to Rhodey) but definitely one of the groomsmen. The billionaire would've given his son-figure the role of ring bearer but he decided that DUM-E would assume the position.
It wasn't just how he was asked, but the fact he was asked that made Peter cry. Of course the long personal and heartfelt speech over the phone (Tony would've asked in person but he was in Hong Kong and Peter was not) really helped win the college student over. It always amazed Tony whenever he remembered his mentee wasn't a teenager anymore.
But that's not important. What is important is what happened on the day of the actual wedding.
The venue was gorgeous. Peter had taken the responsibility of wedding planning to ease Tony's stress. Despite the unlimited budget, the young official member of the Avengers chose a small and simple wedding on the roof top area of Stark Towers. Fairy lights and beautiful garlands of carnations were woven around a gorgeous makeshift gazebo thing. There was a white carpet to be used as a makeshift aisle and surprisingly comfy fold out chairs helped to define the walkway. Other than the gazebo thing, there weren't many other decorations. A few flower pots were spread out around the roof top and some petals had been tossed around but that was about it. Stark Towers was tall enough that the daily and normally deafening sounds of typical New York City were muted and almost non existent. The noises almost disappeared whenever anyone began speaking. In a corner of the roof, a piano player sat wearing a gorgeous tuxedo as she began lightly tapping the ivory keys of her Baldwin piano.
(Idk what they're called. Imagine this photo with carnations but on a roof in NYC)

The guests began arriving about half an hour before the ceremony started. The OG Avengers were first. Thor and Bruce walked in, finally official despite the fact everyone already knew. Following shortly behind was a sulking and very single Loki. Steve and Bucky arrived hand in hand with Valkyrie and Carol doing the same. Clint ushered in his wife and kids while Nat carried Nat (short for Nathaniel the Traitor).
Other heroes that weren't considered official Avengers were invited as well. Aunt May, T'challa and Nakia, Nebula and Mantis, Peter and Gamora, Scott and Hope (with the clever ship name of Microscope), Groot, Rocket, Vision and Wanda, Okoye, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Pepper Potts. Shuri had been stuck with the task of keeping watch over Wakanda until T'challa, Nakia, and Okoye returned. It probably wasn't the best idea to leave a Gen Z kid in charge of an entire country but Shuri was smart enough to not change laws or start a war. Right?
And of course a couple random citizens of New York. A hashtag in twitter had trended (#TONYINVITEME) and so Tony created a challenge out of it. In order to enter the contest, you had to either submit a video or photo of an act of public service or show a grade card with straight A's. But it was never really in Tony to deny people anything so the majority were going to be accepted and invited. Unfortunately Stephen and Peter stopped the billionaire by changing his twitter password. So in the end, only 14 non-superheros came to the wedding, bringing the total to 34 people.
