First off, it’s the wedding of Aquaman and Mera in Aquaman (vol. 1) #18! Aquaman becomes the king of Atlantis, but he must choose a queen! Despite his love for Mera, he must marry an Atlantean! Will the two love birds work it out, or will Arthur feel the fury of a Sea Queen scorned?!?

It’s wall to wall action in Fantastic Four (vol. 1) Annual #3, 1965! Dr. Doom sets out to disrupt the happy day of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl! He sends an army of villains to the Baxter Building, but luckily the entire Marvel Universe of heroes shows up to stop them! Oh, and there is a wedding at the end. Lee and Kirby at their whackiest!

Then it’s a much quieter event in Tales of the Teen Titans #50. You are invited to the wedding of Donna (Wonder Girl) Troy and Terry Long. Marv Wolfman and George Perez present a wedding with no flights, no tights but plenty of nice character moments.
