Jenna couldn’t believe the day was finally here. It felt like she had waited for this moment for all her life and planning it had taken longer than anticipated but it was finally here. Today she would become Jenna Barnes and it just felt right. Sitting in her suite for a while and taking in the view, Jenna couldn’t help but feel like this was the right decision, like every choice on her life had lead her to this moment and now it was all she needed.
Taking her time with a shower, ensuring everything was shaved, fresh and moisturised, hair was clean and ready to be styled. She went out to her bridesmaids; Eira and Wanda before her maid of honour, Sarah came in with champagne and a fruit platter for breakfast. So they could all enjoy the wedding before the circus of getting ready and getting to the ceremony started. Seeing all her friends together brought a smile to her lips and helped with the nerves, not that she wasn’t sure about this, more that it was a day where everyone would be watching her. That was a lot for any bride, let alone someone who hated the attention. After a morning of gossiping and belly hugging, they eventually got ready and there Jenna sat, staring at the dress as it was the final thing to do before she left with Jason, he was handing her off.
“Hey, please be dressed, I have a little something for you.” Jason said as he knocked on the door, a gift bag in hand as he waited for confirmation before walking in. “I know this is probably a bit early but I wanted to give you this.” He said as he handed over the bag, inside was one of Eiras bracelets that he’d been allowed to borrow and a piece of their father’s suit, so Jenna would have her something Old, Borrowed and Blue. Realising what it meant, Jenna got up and hugged her brother in a hug that would have ended him if he wasn’t a super soldier. Holding back tears, she eventually pulled back and smiled. “Thank you.” Finding a safety pin, she got the piece of their father’s suit and pinned it to the inside seam of her dress, up near her heart.
“How shake a leg, it’s almost time.” Jase said before leaning over and pressing a kiss to her hair, leaving her in the room before Sarah popped her head in and nodded. It was time to tackle the dress and go meet her Husband.
One of the first things Bucky's father had ever taught him, was how to tie a tie. It was important to know as a young man. Cross the halves, longer under, over- and yet today of all days, Bucky just couldn't get it right. It was becoming a joke amongst himself and his groomsmen. The tie didn't want to be a part of the celebrations, the tie could sense his nerves, his arm could sense his nerves and was malfunctioning, someone call Shuri for emergency repair! It was all in fun, though. Joking around was making Bucky feel more calm about the day that had finally arrived.
He wasn't scared in the sense that he felt he was making a mistake. Marrying Jenna was the smartest thing he would do in his entire life, there was no doubt in his mind about that. He just wanted the day to go perfectly, for her. She'd worked so hard at getting this wedding prepared and planned; even if it was his day too, he still wanted everything to be perfect for her. If the tie being difficult was the only 'problem' he encountered, he'd be thrilled.
The morning passed with Sam forcing Bucky to eat breakfast. He wasn't mentally hungry, but he had to eat. Seeing Sam's nephews getting ready in their own little suits was endearing to everyone, though once it got closer to head out to the alter, the jokes turned to letting Cass do Bucky's tie. He'd had way more success with his own, after all.
Eventually, though, the hours ticked by. The tie was subdued and securely tucked into his waistcoat. He made sure to brush his teeth again, make sure his hair was just right. Chaotic in a put-together-sense, the way Jenna liked it. Bucky walked out into the hall as the guests started to filter into the ceremony space, and he took a deep breath.
"Last chance to punch me unconscious in protest," Bucky said, looking over at Jase with a smile.
