I'm writing a wedding issue for one of my comics and i thought it would be fun if everyone chimed in on the kind of things they like, dislike, or want to see in a wedding issue.

My pet peeve with wedding issues is the obligatory "villain attack" on the ceremony.

I always wonder why villains choose to attack a gathering that every super hero in the world has been invited to. You'd think they'd attack anyplace but there.

Oh well, guess that's why I'm not a super villain.

I'm sure I'll be of no help here; but why not play on the expectations of a villain attack and go the inverse?

Have the villain jump out of the cake. Everyone assumes the villain will wreak havoc but, instead, (s)he takes the mic from the band leader and gives a very moving toast to the bride and groom. (S)he then dances the bride about the floor to Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" as everyone watches, misty-eyed. When the groom comes to cut in, the villain can then share a tender and private moment with the newlyweds in which (s)he drops the knowledge-bomb that (s)he is the bride's real mother and/or father.

And then, wiping tears of pride from his/her eyes, (s)he detonates a smoke pellet and disappears.

Or, you know...you could make sure that they serve a vegetarian alternative at the reception.

After all, no one likes a wedding story that isn't conscious of dietary requirements.

My personal dislike is in-costume weddings.

Also instead of a villain attack perhaps all the little realistic things that go wrong at weddings happen (dress problems, delays, hungover groomsmen, wrong music, food that somebody turns out to be allergic to, etc). If one or all of these are caused by a villain has part of a larger plan that's all the better.

A wedding also can give you a great chance for foreshadowing between the knives, song choices, facial expressions, gifts, etc.

My last thought is that if a villain attacks they should attack the bachelor or bachelorette parties instead of the wedding. The image of drunk superheroes defending themselves or trying to explain the stripper to the media is a fun one to play with.

I like the ideas so far.

A villain showing respect to the couple is a neat idea and a superhero bachelor/bachelorette party has a ton of possibilities.

What about a non-superhero wedding issue?

Has there ever been a wedding manga?

Many times. I think the cover of the last volume of some shojo manga has the main character getting married. There's also a wedding in the end of an anime I love (though it's not based on a manga and it's not the main character getting married).
