Super Hero Wedding

Posted by Miss Cellania in Cartoon & Comic on August 1, 2009 at 9:33 am


You may have seen or read about some over-the-top wedding productions, but Tony Lucchese told Sarah LaFore will be going the extra mile when they marry today in Portland, Maine. They will say their vows dressed as Superman and Wonder Woman.

Aquaman, Flash and Spider-Man round out the groomsmen. Ten bridesmaids will be Amazon warriors — in comic mythos, Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess — with spears, togas and sandals.

Two weeks ago, LaFore and Lucchese made an emergency trip to Jersey, down and back in one day, to tweak her costume.

“Paramount to having a successful wedding is having the bride feel pretty,” he said.

He and volunteer carpenters built a Fortress of Solitude altar in a rented warehouse space in Portland. They’ll be married by Kieschnick’s father, dressed as Jor-El, Superman’s dad. Part of the script borrows from Kryptonian wedding vows. The couple will break character to say, “I do.”

The two met while working on a theatrical production in Oak Ridge, Tennessee seven years ago. They have been planning the wedding for 18 months. Link -via Fark

    They are in Portland, Maine, not Oregon.

    Is this wedding in or out of Continuity?

    Thanks, Janna! I meant to check that, but forgot. I have noticed that local newspaper websites rarely mention what state they are in and usually it's a real pain to find out. I often have to check the weather or the classifieds on the site.

    They broke character to say "I do", because Superman and Wonder Woman never use those words?

    Babycakes. The story said Batman is the best man.

    On the wedding itself, I'd much rather see this than most of the ones I've actually been to. If a bride and groom can agree on this style of wedding I think there's more hope for the marriage.

    That reminds me. I can't wait for the day when Batman and Robin can finally acknowledge their love for each other in a legal ceremony.
