Scarlett

Today was the day. I was getting married. Unfortunately my mother passed before she could see today. But I knew she was looking down from heaven.

She died being surrounded by everyone she loved and who loved her.

I miss her so much but I know she's not in pain anymore and I told dad to go see the world for me and he has been. The house, and the barn were me and Bucky's.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing the dress my mom had made for me when me and Bucky started talking again. I guess she knew all along just like my dad.

My maid of honor was Peggy. We've grown so close as friends and Daisy was fine with being a bridesmaid. She understood.

I was so happy they put waterproof mascara on me because I was going to cry it all off if it wasn't.

"Are you ready to become Mrs. Barnes?"

I took a deep breath smiled. I nodded and I hooked my arm around my dads and he walked me down the aisle. We had decided on having a rustic wedding here at the farm in the woods.

As I walked down the aisle, I looked at everyone I knew. The whole town pretty much showed up. After all it was a small town.

I looked ahead of me and I saw Bucky and Steve and all my brothers.

I looked back to Bucky and he was crying. I started crying at that fact.

My dad turned towards me.

"You're mother would be so proud".

"I'm sure she's watching from heaven daddy", I whispered.

He handed me to Bucky and Bucky helped me up.

"You look so beautiful".

"You look handsome".

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of two people into one. These two individuals have definitely turned some heads in this town and had some troubles but they have always overcame them together. Now let's have the rings please.

The rings were brought up and we each took one.

"James Buchanan Barnes, do you this woman as your lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold. In sickness and in health, til death do you part?"

"I do".

"And do you, Scarlett Rosie Harrison take this man as your lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold. In sickness and in health, til death do you part?"

"I do".

"I announce to you Mr. and Mrs. James Barnes. You may kiss the bride".

He dipped me and kissed me.

I was married and I saw the sun side on the empty seat I had left in memory of my mom.

'I love you too mom'.

After our first dance. We had cake and threw the bouquet and Peggy caught it and me and Bucky laughed. Those two were already engaged. They got engaged last month on Steve's birthday.

We said goodbye to everyone and made our way to our honeymoon in the Caribbean's believe it or not. It was a gift from Peggy.

We sat on the plane and started thinking about the rest of our lives.
