In what is being coined as one of Marvel's big events of 2014, Deadpool is set to marry… Yeah, we have to wait until April to find out who. Marvel isn't one for being shy when it comes to beloved characters hooking up and tying the knot; remember the big hubbub in Astonishing X-Men #59 when the born and bred Canadian Northstar married his American love Kyle Jinadu in an effort to seal the bond of love and make Kyle a citizen of Canada? Plus we've seen the classic marriages of Peter Parker/Mary Jane, Black Panther/Storm, Cyclops/Crazy Fire Bird lady…but I digress. This one is huge because the Merc with a Mouth is absolutely batshit crazy and not really easy on the eyes once you remove the mask. (It does give me hope, though, that if Deadpool can find love, this shmuck of a nerd can find love too. D'aaaawwww!! Moving on.)On Thursday, January 2, 2014, Nerdist revealed images of the big day to the interwebs. Writer of the current Deadpool Now! franchise and former ATOS! writer Gerry Duggan (no relation to Hacksaw Jim Duggan—trust me, I researched the hell out of it) had this to say about Deadpool's big day:
"The honest answer is that it was written into a Deadpool story, but more or less as a gag, and Jordan D. White, the editor, was like a dog with a bone. He was like, 'No, no, no—this is going to be a big deal.' You know, we wrote it, so it’s not like we weren’t behind it. The fun thing has been—after his misadventures, I guess you’d call them, in North Korea, in the story arc 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,' he learned a lot about himself and why he is the way he is. He doesn’t really have too much of a life. Yes, this is a knee-jerk reaction from a wounded guy to go out there and sort of do something crazy to sort of jump start a life, but there is a real emotional reason for doing it, so I think that will be the part that will resonate. Then the actual gags of the wedding will be fun too, but there is a real grounding to it, and that’s what will make it fun to explore."Below is the teaser image released by Nerdist that shows Deadpool in tux next to a lady with fairly large knockers. I'm placing my money on Lady Death.
