Everheart said: "It's a bonus because we love comics, we're both geeks."
Such is the couple's dedication to the comic book world, they even celebrated with an Astonishing X-Men wedding cake.

Mr McCruden said: "It's that X-Men message—it has a lot of lessons of equality, you feel a lot of empathy for mutants, they live in a world where people hate and fear them just for who they are. We feel strongly enough to make a stand, say here we are."
The 40-year-old continued: "It's the comic book wedding I always wanted."
