Article excerpts from New Jersey Bride about SuperWonder couple, Neryluz and Jesus’ Wedding at Birchwood Manor:
How did you meet?
I used to work with Jesus’ best friend Peter; we are both teachers. Peter kept telling me about his friend Jesus, he had been talking Jesus up since March! We didn’t meet until that October in 2016. Peter invited me over to his house for his son’s birthday party and Jesus is Peter’s son’s godfather. When we were finally introduced, Jesus was dressed as Superman for his godson’s Superhero-themed party. We talked a little bit but it wasn’t until the Halloween party two weeks later that Jesus and I exchanged phone numbers. We started talking and he asked me to be his girlfriend on December 15th.
How did you get engaged?
On our two year anniversary, I was opening my anniversary gifts before we left to see The Phantom of the Opera in NYC. The last gift I opened was a mini paving stone that said ‘Neryluz “Wonder Woman” Will you Marry Me? Jesus “Superman” ‘ This mini paving stone is a replica of the large paving stone that is in the walkway at the Superman Museum in Metropolis, IL. My engagement ring is a custom (designed by Jesus) Wonder Woman ring.
Details of the day!
One of the first things Jesus and I bonded over is our fandom for Superman. As our relationship progressed, he was my Superman and I became his Wonder Woman. It became obvious that the theme for our wedding should be Superman and Wonder Woman. In the cathedral, our theme was subtle. His boutonniere was wrapped in Superman ribbon and my bouquet was wrapped in Wonder Woman ribbon. My “something borrowed” was a Superman pin that my mother in law had given to my father in law when they were younger. The flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow were Superman/Wonder Woman colors and each had the Superman emblem on them. We had a sign that said “It’s been a long and adventurous journey. Here come your WonderBride and Supergroom.” The color for the bridesmaids dresses were blue and both my Matron of Honors wore red. The groomsmen wore Charcoal suits, navy blue vests, red ties, and red pocket squares. Jesus had a custom blue tuxedo. Jesus also ordered DC character pins, cuff links, and watched for his groomsmen and himself.
