Who: Pepper Potts, Tony Stark, and everyone who has gathered there today.
What: A wedding and reception
When: Sept 14, All Day
Where: Cherry Blossom Hill / The Battle Dome
Summary: Pepper and Tony are getting married finally officially finally.
Rating: PG/PG-13 max? There's at least one kid here.
The decorations on the hill are simple ones; they've chosen this spot because it's naturally beautiful without the need for embellishments. Chairs have been set up for the expected guests, with a clear path laid out for the wedding party. And of course up front there is a place for those people to stand, in sight of everyone gathered so Tony won't be able to tell Pepper "I told you so" as color commentary won't be necessary.

After the ceremony everyone will be invited to go to the Battle Dome for the reception. There Tony's programmed an expansive hall with tables and seating enough for everyone. There's also a dance floor, which everyone is encouraged to take advantage of. The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, clearly intended to help all in attendance have a good time. Dinner will be served, and there's an open bar, with rum by request of the officiant.

Just don't get too rowdy, okay kids?

The threat hit it's mark, and Tony's eyebrows shot up in response. She wouldn't, would she? "Do I? On our wedding night? Amend that - second wedding night."

He wouldn't really mind if they just repeated how that went the first time around.

Pepper simply smirked, letting Tony ponder whether she really would make him suffer so. It would take a lot, considering the occasion--but considering who he was, Pepper suspected that somehow he could manage it.

Of course, she didn't actually want him to. She'd rather enjoyed their first wedding night too. A repeat would be far more welcome.

"You wouldn't." He tried to sound sure about that, and he mostly was, but considering who she was, he wouldn't put all his chips on it.

So instead, he leaned towards her ear and spoke tender words that were only for her to hear. "Then maybe I ought to go into how utterly, irrevocably in love with you I am, and how I am, in fact, the happiest man in the world right now."

"Wouldn't I?" Oh, but this was a dangerous game. Tony could very well take that as a challenge, to prove that he could be absolutely terrible and still have his celebration. Pepper was concerned enough about it to nearly amend her retort, when Tony took the first step.

And really, it was a damn good move.

"Well. I don't think it would hurt your chances if you did." Not at all, and though her words were casual Pepper was grinning from ear to ear.

[alloys]

"Then let the record show." He kissed the corner of her face before meeting her eyes again. "I love you, Pepper. And I'm the happiest man in the world - actually, I think I need to make a speech about this."

And it was a threat he was prepared to make good on, turning to eye the microphone.

[handing]

"Oh no you don't." Not that he wouldn't end up using the microphone before the reception was over, she was sure. But Pepper wasn't letting him get away just yet. She tightened her fingers on his shoulder, keeping him there as she turned her head to catch his lips with hers. It killed any chance of her threat being taken seriously, yes, but the happiest woman in the world had the right to kiss the happiest man in the world for making her that way.

His lips curled around hers; he didn't really mind being silenced in that particular way. There would be time for his overly-sentimental and assuredly-embarrassing speech later on. But for now, he was perfectly content - more than content, really - to kiss his wife and hold her close during their first dance officially as man and wife.
