T’Challa meets Ororo Munroe—better known to the world as the mutant Super Hero Storm—while traveling through Africa as a young man. Their attraction is instant, and they quickly fall in love. Their romance is passionate but brief, as T’Challa knows he has responsibilities to attend to if he wants to be king of Wakanda and avenge his father’s death. But T’Challa never stops loving Ororo.
Their reunion is not as passionate as he hoped, since Ororo is still mad at him. But T’Challa is not deterred. To prove his commitment, the Black Panther gets down on one knee and proposes. Clearly still in love with him but unsure if he can be trusted, Ororo does not answer but agrees to spend some time together.
Their love is rekindled, and before long, they are preparing for a wedding! Invitations reach every corner of the world, and heads of state, X-Men, Avengers, Wakandans, family, and friends prepare for what is sure to be the wedding of the century.
As tradition demands, during the ceremony, T’Challa and Ororo enter the Celestial Plane, where the goddess Bast herself must judge the bride of the Panther. After Ororo is accepted, the two seal their bond with a kiss. Wakanda has a queen, and the guests have one of the best nights of their lives.
