Everyone's expecting the wedding of a century and they'll get it, but I don't want them to forget the reason we're having it. [Which is not even just that Steve and Tony are getting married and are sharing that with their friends and family. But Tony wants Steve to have everything he's ever dreamed of. And certainly he wasn't dreaming of a giant, gorgeous wedding at the Met, but Tony's also good at building and filling in. Always wanting to give Steve everything he's ever wanted and more.
