Comic con wedding unites superheroes (and mortals)

17 May

The bride wore a strapless red and black dress with a full, layered skirt, and a tiny, jaunty top hat. The groom was Iron Man.

Holding a bouquet of paper flowers, she walked down the aisle as Wolverine, Wonder Woman, Star Lord, Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Spiderman and many others hummed the theme from “Rocky.”

Sarah Hudgins and Robert Huffman were married Sunday morning at Tidewater Comicon in Virginia Beach. They exchanged comic-inspired rings: Hers was influenced by “Doctor Who”; his by “Firefly.” Hudgins and Huffman are comic con volunteers. Sunday was the last day of the 2015 comic con.
