Superheros are people too. And we’re all about equality at My Little Flower Shop, so we’re sharing this wonderful collage of superhero wedding moments from our wonderful pals at Wedinator (a wedding humor site brought to you by the brilliant creators of the I Can Has Cheezburger cat phenomenon).

Top 5 observations:

1) Lois Lane is a total mash-up of Jacquie Kennedy and Cinderella

2) Aquaman had the most adventurous event designer – a pink platform and a giant shell-style backdrop make quite a dramatic statement.

3) Rays of light, torrential winds and/or the ability to fly make for terrific wedding pictures

4) Even with a doily on your head, Flash Gordon will still come to your rescue.

5) Although I’m not on board with Wonder Woman’s outfit, an invisible plane makes for one heck of a grand entrance!

In other comic book society news, we’re totally impressed that the Archie comics’ gay character will be marrying his partner in an upcoming issue. Congratulations to them both – and their creators.

Ready, Set, G…wait a minute. Who said anything about ready?

“Are you ready?” Brides and event planners alike field this question as the wedding day approaches. What does that mean, ready? For the bridal magazines ready means every last detail settled. Bows tied, programs printed, Every I dotted, each t crossed.

One night, working a movie premiere party everything went wrong during set up, but we were finally back above water. Good thing too, as guest arrival was within the half hour.
I looked at my co worker, a more seasoned planner than I, by about 20 years, both of us still in our sweaty work clothes. “Are we ready? I asked. “ready?” he smiled, “we don’t open the doors because we’re ready. We open the doors because it’s the time they printed on the invitation.”

What do they call you if your ceremony's not perfect? Blissfully, happily, married.

There is no perfect.  There is no ready.  Let go of the oversized expectations, and pick up a champagne flute.  Always be ready for champagne.

A Real Reality Bride Tells All – Why the TV Show Brought Her Closer To Her Groom

When my fiancé and I told family and friends that our wedding was going to be taped for a TLC reality show, they were more than a little surprised.  The most common question was, “why would you want to add that stress on yourselves?”  In fact, it was one of the best decisions we made.  Why?  It’s not why you think.

Two weeks before the wedding, Stephen and I spent two hours with the crew shooting an interview and footage of us “being cute” together.  We walked down a street near the beach hand in hand, trailed by a camera, giggling.  We sat in the sun, on a beautiful patio, reading to each other. We talked to the producer, and each other about how we fell in love.  It was a two hour shelter from the crazy wedding planning storm: we got to reconnect, and remember that under the tulle and the tablecloths, was our unique love story.

I treasure those two hours, every moment.  The lights, the cameras, and the questions that reminded me why I had said “yes.”

Note – Credit where credit is due: I got, hands down, the most amazing hair and make-up team in Southern California.  Dana and her team from Design Visage in Orange County made me feel like a movie star. Thanks ladies!

Great make-up and hair by Design Visage led to fantastic photos by Cheryl McPherson
