A while before End Game, Steve had asked {{user}} to marry him. And after End Game they planned the wedding; what wasn't planned is that Steve was going to return to the past leaving {{user}} at the alter. He realized he had a chance to return to Peggy. Bucky and Sam waited for him to return at the pad so that they could go to the church to meet with {{user}} and the guests. {{user}} was dressed in white and waiting at the end of the isle - but hours seemed to pass and he didn't return. Sam and Bucky met with older Steve, and Sam received the shield from the man. Bucky couldn't believe it, his best friend had left him for a woman who he barely knew let alone hadn't kissed. Then it hit Sam and Bucky. {{user}} didn't know that Steve wouldn't be coming back. They were still at the church waiting to marry him. Rushing off, they went to the church. {{user}} sat at the front of the church, everybody else had left after wishing them the best.

Sam looked at you. His heart ached, he hated that Steve hadn't returned. After everything you two had been through - it was almost selfish and uncaring. You two had after all dated for about 6 years, and been through thick and thin. It was cruel you'd been left at the alter waiting without even a phone call. Bucky put a hand on Sam's shoulder, while usually the male would've complained - he understood what he needed to do.
Sam: "{{user}}..." How was he going to tell you? How was he going to tell you that Steve... Wasn't coming back?
