Pepper
This situation was unusual. Pepper couldn't sleep and that was usually Tony's part. Tony, who was at his stag night, with Rhodey and some of his other friends. Pepper had luckily insisted that her friends didn't do something like that, because she really hated parties, especially if there was a lot of heavy drinking involved.
So, Pepper couldn't sleep. She rolled around a few hours, tried to get her eyes to close and her mind to finally shut down, but the doubt did not leave her.
She had no reason to doubt anything, but somehow she was still scared that Tony would leave her in front of the altar and she would be alone forever. They had a daughter, of course he wouldn't leave her, but Pepper... Pepper still had no idea why the hell Tony loved her. He could have anyone else, why the hell did he choose to love her?
She then chose to get up and check her emails, read a book and somehow in all that mess, she managed to fall asleep, even though it was already late enough to count as early.
When she woke up, she was greeted by Nat, who stood right in front of her bed.
"How did you get in here?", was Pepper's first question.
"Spy, I can get into any building I want, I have my tricks."
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Oh, a long time. I've watched you in your sleep, Bella and now it's time to get up and get your hair and make up done. You're gonna get all the attention today, and if I have to make sure that myself."
"I'm marrying Anthony Edward Stark, of course I'm not the center of attention"
"To him you'll be, and that's all that matters. I'm just here to help you with your dress"
"Thanks for coming and helping me, Nat. It really means a lot to me"
"Enough cheesy talk, now get up", Nat commanded.
"But i'm tired"
"That's not a good point, but if you really want me to force you to get out... I'm not alone here.", Nat said and after a bit of shouting, Wanda came into the room.
Followed by Pepper's mother, who rolled her eyes a little, but tried to smile encouragingely.
"I really don't wanna get up."
"Virginia, today is your wedding and I'm not letting you go there in your pyjamas", her mother said.
"When did you become such a boss?"
"Sweetie, I was always a boss. I'm just not going to accept that my daughter isn't going to her wedding with an amazing man cause she is scared. You might carry your father's name still, but there is the blood of my family running through your veins. And you know that you didn't study so hard and fought so much to be great and extraordinairy to just be a coward now. This is what you want, now go get it, hun", her mother said.
There was nothing that could make Pepper fight for what she wanted than her mother's pep talks. There was a pep in Pepper for a reason. Her mother reminded her of herself sometimes, a fiercer, more brave version with less doubts.
Half an hour later, Pepper had been able to get inside her wedding dress, somehow. Her mother repeatedly told her how beautiful she looked and Pepper was training her eyerolling skills. Nat helped her with her make up while also trying to encourage her.
