Real Life Couple marry as Batman & Wonder Woman


You knew this would happen in our geeky universe.

A couple in Devon married as the Caped Crusader and the Amazing Amazon

Sharon and Neil Vaughan decided to marry as Wonder Woman and Batman because they love wearing fancy dress.

And if you are wondering what happened to the caped crusader's sidekicks - Robin and the Joker were the best man and master of ceremonies.

Mrs Vaughan, 40, in red corset, blue hotpants, boots and a tiara and veil, made her entrance to the Wonder Woman theme tune.

Her bridesmaids came as the PowerPuff girls while other guests included Superman, the Incredibles, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and Captain America.

It did not seem to matter that the Batman outfit meant it was impossible to see most of the groom's face.

And despite wearing anything but traditional outfits, the groom and his best man still had a flower pinned to their outfits just as they would have in a buttonhole.

Mr Vaughan, from Cullompton in Devon, said: 'We are not particularly traditional and we wanted to have a fun day with our friends, so I suggested we have a themed wedding.

'I have always wanted to be Batman, ever since I was a little boy and Sharon said she had always wanted to be Wonder Woman.'

Cute. Hopefully, we will see a Batman and a Superman marry soon.

Cute, fun, whimsical, and practical.
I'm sure the women prefferred that over some ugly bridesmaid dresses.
And I'm sure it was less expensive than the average wedding.

I agree with Mechadude2001 but Ummm...couldn't she have spent a little more on a better version of her costume/dress?
