Fairytale weddings are so yesterday.

In a marriage made in Asgard (or at least partially inspired by Marvel comics), Nicolas Cage's 20-year-old son Weston tied the knot with his 22-year-old gal pal Nikki Williams in an Easter Sunday ceremony in New Orleans.

But maybe the best part of the weekend event in the Big Easy (besides the father of the groom not getting busted)?

Two nights prior, the couple, who had reportedly only been engaged for a week, exchanged rings at a bonfire with a few pals in Tennessee.

Weston—a full-blown comic book geek like his father—presented his bride-to-be with an emerald and diamond wedding band while Nikki gave him a ring sporting the hammer-wielding thunder god Thor, his all-time favorite Marvel superhero.

Sparks flew...literally.

According to Williams, some concerned citizens called 911 and fire trucks crashed the party.

"Weston presented me with my GORGEOUS ring last night in front of a giant bonfire and the Fire Department showed up. HOT <3 Big Day Tomorrow!" she tweeted.

As for Sunday's holiday nuptials, the elder Cage was on hand to see his son, who's also the lead singer of the metal band Eyes of Noctum, don a tuxedo to take his lady love's hand at the historic Omni Royal Hotel in the city's French Quarter, according to People. The duo then left via limousine and capped off the festivities with a lavish bash on a yacht on Lake Pontchartrain.

Can't wait to see what kind of wedding Cage's five-year-old—he of the Superman-inspired name Kal-El—will have when he's ready to take the plunge.
