BATMAN will marry Wonder Woman at the superhero wedding of the year in Paignton on Saturday.

The caped crusader, also known as Neil Vaughn, 46, will be taking the hand of his very own Wonder Woman, Sharon Wetherell, 40, at Oldway Mansion.

Flanked by the PowerPuff girls, Sharon will make her entrance with the Wonder Woman theme tune playing in the background.

The audience of fantasy fiction favourites will see best man Robin take charge of the rings and notorious villain the Joker keeping events running smoothly as master of ceremonies.

Paignton will be awash with Marvel-ous characters when the Bat-wedding hits town.

Among the guests will be a host of comic book critters plus the Incredibles and the Iron Man.

The wedding was the brainchild of Neil and Sharon, who often dress up for nights out.

"We are not particularly traditional and we wanted to have a fun day with our friends, so I suggested we have a themed wedding," said Neil.

"I have always wanted to be Batman, ever since I was a little boy and Sharon said she had always wanted to be Wonder Woman."

Bat-groom Neil said they picked Oldway because it is a 'fantastic building'.

"The pictures before and after the ceremony on the staircase in Oldway full of superheroes will be great," he said.

"It is made for a superhero wedding. We are going to have a fun day with friends and family."

Superheroes are, literally, flying in from all over the world with fantasy characters arriving from Australia and America, as well as Europe.
