All been arranged

Marriage for love is a such a modern concept. In the past, marriage was
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

"Foggy likes you, so she'll absolutely love you," he promises. "I don't know what I'd do without either one of them." They keep him grounded, keep him focused on being a Prince rather than simply the protector of Hell's Kitchen.

"Well. It's not like we don't have a hundred other things vying for our attention every day, right?" At least that's what he told himself.

As for his secret? He'll have to tell Peter, but not yet and certainly not around the Tower that Stark no doubt has bugged, even if the clever shit has figured it out for himself.

"That's definitely reassuring." Peter wiped faux-sweat from his brow, smiling softly at Matt's obvious love for his friends. Yeah, they probably have a lot more in common than they realize, and it's a warming thought.

"Certainly. I'm sure someone of your stature is constantly busy. Running a whole kingdom and whatnot." Peter had his duties, but that mostly lay in patrols, in technology development to help him out in the field.

And what a secret it is! Peter, blissfully unaware, would probably be stunned to find out the crown prince is also the Devil that prowls Hell's Kitchen's border. Peter's seen him, even, out on the street. Just the once, though, and technically Peter was the one trespassing, so he hadn't interfered.
