It was the last semester of their junior year when Aspen who was attending college at UNC to be closer to her mom got an invitation to Natalie and Bucky's engagement party. It was addressed to both her and Mason but Mason was over seas. She sent him an email to let him know that when he came in that they were to attend the party.
She marked yes as coming and placed back in the pre stamped envelope. She placed it in the mailbox on her way back out to softball practice. That night while she was doing her homework Bucky face timed her. "Hey gorgeous.." he said
"hey..I got your party invite today I put no.." she said
He scoffed "Why not..isn't lover boy suppose to be in town that weekend." he said
"I'm kidding I wouldn't miss your engagement party. I gotta see this rock in person." she said
"I gotta see yours make sure Mason Deacon Carter did my best friend's ring justice." he said
She rolled her eyes. "Is that Aspen Marie.." she heard in the back ground.
Everyone gathered around him "Hey guys I miss you all." she said as she blew them all kisses.
"Aww you didn't have to give me so many kisses" Bucky said
"Um they weren't all for you. They were for Natalie Hope Val Wanda and Sam." she said
"Aww baby girl we miss that sass. See I told you Barnes she likes me more." Sam said
"You are mean.. " Bucky said
She smiled and said "You know you love me."
"Yeah I just wanted to call to make you were doing okay." he said
"I'm good just doing my homework." she said
She had a beep on her skpe "Hey guys gotta go Mason is calling love you all see you soon!" she said as she hung up and switched to Mason.
She talked to him for another hour then finished her homework.
Two weeks later she was picking up Mason from the tarmac. "Hey beautiful baby." he said
She kissed him "I've missed you two years is to long.. I have a wedding to plan ya know." she said
He smiled "I know baby I have a cherry to pop." he said in her ear.
She giggled they got in her car then they left for Georgia. They pulled up at UGA to find their friends waiting in the parking lot for them. The boys ran to Mason and hugged him as they yelled "CARTER!!"
"Oh boys it's good to see some one in civilian clothes." he said
The girls hugged Aspen and gushed over her ring and she gushed over their rings. Natalie said "Wait wait while we got the boys here I saw an idea on pinterest for pictures. Hey Teagan do us favor." Natalie said as seen Teagan another cheerleader come out.
She had Teagan take a picture of the girls holding out their hands with their rings and the guys lined up in the exact order of the girls. Teagan used her selfie stick up over the girls to get the picture just right. She took three copies "Thanks Teagan." she said
They all headed to the party they were all eating and mingling dancing and drinking having the best time. At the end of the night Natalie said "Girls I need you all to come here."
On one of the tables was boxes. "Look for your initials then open them." Natalie said
They each opened the boxes Natasha said "Oh Nat you know I would love to be your maid of honor."
Aspen read her box "Thank you Natalie I'll definitely be a bridesmaid.." she said
Bucky had the boys stand around the table. "Steve open yours first." he said
Steve opened his "Of course I'll be your best man." as he hugged him.
The rest of the boys opened their boxes Mason started laughing "Of course I'll be your groomsmen just remember that I gotta have like a three month notice so I can put in the time." he said
"Oh my god Buck really.. this is your wedding.. and you choose party boy things to ask them. Hasn't Natalie taught you anything did you see how.." Aspen said
He put his finger to her lips "Shut up.. this is me and it was my idea to do it this way and you can shut up.. sassy pants." he said
She made a pouty face "Aspen.." he said
"Come on Mason I'm tired." she said
"Aspen Marie.. you stop I was playing around." he said
"Bucky I really am tired I was just joking around and you had to be all hateful about it." she said as she picked up her box and she and Mason left.
