solrosan:It wasLaura who proposed to Clint twelve years ago, without really thinking itthrough.“I want toput you as my emergency contact,” she said. “If something happens when I’m overthere, I want you to get the call, and if the people you work for are the typewho makes phone calls… well, then I want to be the one they call.”Clint saidyes, and they had a rushed ceremony and small reception with most of her family andnone of his. Then he went on living in fear of the telephone for eighteenmonths until Laura came back from her second (and last) tour in Afghanistan.When Lauraproposed to Natasha, she and Clint had planned it for months over long distancephone calls, encrypted emails and tired evening in front of the TV.“There’s nothing official we can do,” she said. “But then… officially, we’re not married anymore either. I don’t think there are records of usever being married. So I— We wonder, if you want to, officially, be not-married to us as well?”Clint just smiled and shrugged when Natasha looked at him for guidance. Laura had many good qualities, but making perfect sense while proposing clearly wasn’t one of them.Natasha said yes, and they had a small ceremony just the three of them which was more or less just putting on rings. Then, three months after Nathaniel was born, they had a party with most of their friends and none of their families. Tony was the only one who recognized it as the wedding reception it was.When Natasha asked if it felt different, being married when there was a piece of paper involved, both Clint and Laura answer yes. It did feel different, but not in any way more real or valid. The marriage the three of them had, was in no way less. -- source link
