Therapy First, Then Action

Chapter 55 "Therapy First, Then Action"

The sun had begun to set as Harry and Pepper made their way down the aisle to Phil who was standing at the alter with Clint to his left as his Best Man and Director Fury standing at to the right as their officiate, while Natasha was also to the right as her Maid of Honor. The simple ceremony was just beautiful in the California Sunset on the beach near Tony's Malibu mansion. They had rented out a small hotel for the ceremony and reception for the weekend and filled it with Avengers and shield Agents with only the vetted hotel staff as authorized civilians.

"Who gives this Lovely Lady away in matrimony?" Nick asked smiling that all knowing smirk.

"I do give my Aunt Pepper to My Uncle Phil, in Marriage and Happiness." Harry Signed wearing his translation gloves.

"Thank you Harry." Pepper whispered giving the teen a kiss on the cheek before taking her place at Phil's side. Harry went and sat next to his parents in the first row as Parents of the Bride. Pepper lost her Mother to cancer as a teen and her father to a broken heart because he loved his wife so much that he barely lived a year after her death. Loki and Tony thought they should fill in this role as Pepper was family.

"Now we are gathered by this couple who asks us to give witness to their union in Holy Matrimony. Now I have known Phil Coulson for many years and for all his efficiencies, I know Virginia Potts could do better as she run circles around him and is the true handler of the Avengers. But she decided he is worthy enough to give Marriage ago. Now being an Agent of a secret organization such as SHEILD comes with some risks but after looking after Tony Stark most of her adult life, I have no doubt she'll walk through to trials as of Wife of a SHEILD agent with effortless grace. As Director of said organization I am licensed by every state in the grand old USA, and I come here to ask ya'll some very important Questions. First off I want to know if there is an objection to these to tying the knot and if there are keep your fucking trap shut! They waited long enough to get hitched. Next I'll ask Agent Romanoff to give the ring to Virginia and Agent Barton to give the ring he has to Agent Coulson." Nick smiled as the bride and groom took the offered rings. "Now soon to be the former Ms. Potts repeat after me, with this ring I take you Pill to be my wedded husband."

"With this ring I take you Pill to be my wedded husband." Pepper placed the simple gold band on Phil's left ring finger."

"Agent Coulson repeat after me, with this ring I take you Virginia to be my wedded wife."

"With this ring I take you Virginia to be my wedded wife." Phil placed the gold band with five diamonds on her left ring finger joining it with her single diamond engagement ring.

"Now before we get to the end of this contract, the Bride and Groom have some things they would like to say. We'll start with Lady's first."

"Phil, I know that being an agent of SHEILD is not a Glamorous job but I know that you are more a Super Hero than even IronMan."

"Hey!"

"Shh..." Loki hushed his husband rolling his eyes at Tony's need to insert himself in everything. The small giggle from the bride let him know she called out the Iron Man on purpose.

"You're always making sure the rest of the world sees only what should be and not the dangers that threaten the safety of the people. I love that about you and how you balance me in more than just Avenger work. I know that we'll make everything work out even if it seems like the world will end around us."

"Pepper you are the light in my life and you have made me complete. Until I met you I was just going through life and doing my duty to SHEILD. You opened my world beyond my wildest dreams and I pledge to make your life happy and magical as you have made mine." Phil smiled holding her long elegant fingers in his.
