Our Wedding

It all began at New York Comic-Con in 2017. And let's be clear, it's all Bridesmate Skylar Ford's fault, getting these two together. A Rogue brushed with Poison Ivy, pleasantries were exchanged, and a spark lit. Two weeks pass, and like ships in the night, they missed one another at Skylar's Halloween party. An Angel flapped past Mankind. It wasn't until January that Skylar demanded the two go out on a date. And so they did. Soup dumplings, barcade, and a recreational visit to a comic book store. The next, late night wandering. Then, ice skating, and what ought to have been a first kiss was time spent warming each other's hands waiting for a cab. The real first kiss would occur inside the Star Wars Battle Pod, for good luck to blow up the Death Star (they succeeded). Six years of laughter later, everyone's favorite couple of goofballs are finally (finally) ready to spend the rest of the rest of their lives together, and you're invited!
