What does the Spideypool wedding look like? Who’s invited? Who proposes first? Is Wade the kind of person to do a public proposal? Under what circumstances would Peter/Wade refuse a proposal? What are Wade’s thoughts on marriage in general?
And thank you for responding to my previous ask! It’s sad but I agree that TLIR Wade would lose it if/once Peter dies. I would go crazy too if I outlived my beautiful crime-fighting boyfriend…
On another note, I think Peter breaking up with Wade on account of murder is very interesting. More specifically, it parallels Spidey’s conflict with Black Cat. They have crazy chemistry and understand each other, but, at the end of the day, Felicia will never give up her criminal ways 💔
However, in some continuities, she does change. She goes from a petty thief to a vigilante. Oftentimes it’s this transformation that makes her one of Spidey’s allies/partners - much like how Deadpool changes in your fics.
I actually have a lot of Black Cat-Deadpool-Spider-man thoughts if you’re interested 💗 Not necessarily as a ship, but as to how they complement each other as characters.
Sincerely, the very same spideypool scholar 🕷️🗡️💗
I had way too much fun pondering this ask and it ran away from me a bit but anyway:
Wade holds very marriage-positive views because, with all his latent self-esteem issues, the idea of marriage is reassuring to him. I imagine he needs that black and white on paper and all the pomp to feel like Peter’s actually going to stay with him. So, incredible mental gymnastics take place while Wade convinces himself that he can somehow “trick” Peter into loving him with marriage, so he must propose a few months into dating, or all is lost.
So, Deadpool proposes to Spider-Man three times (all of which Peter laughs off) before Peter starts to suspect that he might actually be serious. Then Wade does it a fourth time, and Peter tells him to do it as Wade Wilson or not at all. So, Wade strips the Deadpool suit right then and there in some random street in New York before proposing for a fifth time on one knee in his Spider-Man undies. Peter is obviously completely exasperated and helplessly charmed by this, but turns him down, wholly embarrassed.
“I meant when we’re both out of the suits!” Spider-Man says.
“Well, start stripping because there are no breaks on this marriage train,” Wade tells him, “Not after you hinted you might consider it.”
“No. No. That’s a hard no to the marriage from me, until you act like a real, functional person about this!” Peter says, but he’s laughing now, helpless to stop it.
“Your standards are too high,” Wade whines, but he starts to get clothed again, which is a small mercy.
That night, after they’re home, Peter is the one to propose, with a quiet, hesitant, “Were you serious? Will you marry me? For real?”
“For real?” Wade repeats. “In a heartbeat, yes.”
Wade plans to invite everyone he knows and starts to hand out wedding invites like candy to people he meets. Every Marvel superhero and villain gets an invite, and he goes to ridiculous lengths to deliver the invites even to the most unenthusiastic people. Then Peter points out that people don’t really know that Spider-Man and Peter Parker are one and the same, and a public wedding might blow his identity wide open, so Wade has to go to extreme lengths to uninvite everyone, stealing all the invites back.
In the end, it’s just a tiny civil ceremony where Aunt May is the only guest/witness. Wade insists on wearing white. Something obviously goes disastrously wrong, maybe an alien invasion or a supervillain attack.
“Sh-should we run?” asks the officiant.
“No, you stay right there and officiate this damn wedding,” Wade tells him firmly. “If something tries to ruin my special day, I’ll show the world what a bridezilla truly is.”
The officiant has gone pale. “But—“
“Wade,” Peter says, pointedly, glancing toward the window and the chaos outside.
Wade points a finger at him. “And you stay put, too.”
Peter’s gaze snaps to the officiant. “Well, hurry up! Does it look like we have all day?”
The wedding is finished at record speed, vows exchanged, and the quickest, hastiest kiss takes place before Peter runs out to deal with the attack, leaving Wade and Aunt May behind with the worst excuses he can come up with.
“Did he just... run away?” May asks Wade, sounding baffled.
“He sure did! But at least he stayed for the important part!” Wade says cheerfully. “Want to grab some food while we wait for my hubby to turn up again?”
“Let’s,” May says fondly.
