Wickling

"Dear Teddy, you are without a doubt the best boyfriend in the entire world. You're kind. You're generous. You threaten to maim people for me."

- Billy

Wickling is the ship between Billy Kaplan and Teddy Altman from the Marvel fandom.

CANON
Billy and Teddy were both selected for the (a program designed to assemble a new team of superheroes in case the Avengers were disbanded), and joined the  with team members Iron Lad and Patriot as Asgardian and Hulkling. The two began dating not long after.

The couple seems to have grown close over a significantly short time, as Teddy states during the attack of that Billy learned his spell-casting from reading  self-help book.

After having prevented the destruction of the timeline, Billy having officially changed his code name to Wiccan, he decides now would be a good time to reveal his aspiring superhero identity to his parents. However, the Kaplans misread his intentions and assume he was coming out about his relationship with Teddy. Nonetheless, they are very supportive of the two, and even go so far as to call Teddy an "excellent son-in-law".

When Teddy is shot during the attack of a, he is taken hostage and the gunman threatens to detonate a nuke strapped to his back. Sensing that his boyfriend is in grave danger, Billy's powers overload and send the entire group comatose.

Whilst attempting to stay on Billy's side, Teddy is afraid of what would happen if Billy lost control of his powers again. Agitated, Billy dismisses Teddy's attempts at a conversation and leaves, only to run into Captain America in his home. The man convinces Billy to come with him to the Avengers Tower to test his powers, but they are soon stopped by Teddy. Teddy warns Captain America that if anything happens to Billy, he should not be worried about Billy but rather what Teddy would do, and that where Billy goes, Teddy follows. Surprisingly to the couple, Captain America is not troubled by this and in fact invites Teddy to share a room with his boyfriend during the test.

The room turns out to be something more akin to a dungeon, but Billy uses his magic to transform the twin beds into a king-sized one. The pair begins to embrace, and Billy apologizes for the events that transpired, and Teddy assures him that what happened was out of his control and the Avengers' tests would be harmless. The couples try to kiss but are interrupted by an unhappy Tommy, who transports them out of the tower. The touching reuniting moment is stalled by the appearance of Magneto, the twin's grandfather.

When the Avengers attack Magneto, Teddy is seen protecting Billy from danger on numerous occasions, as when Wolverine tries to kill him. Teddy also humorously expresses that he's never been as attracted to Billy when he decides to not give a damn what the Avengers will do to him and brings the entire team and Magneto to Transia. Teddy objects to Billy's idea to send them home, and he is convinced by the team to let them help. To make their attire less suspicious-looking, Billy transforms their clothes into those of the movie "Sound of Music", Teddy explaining that it is Billy's favorite film, to which his boyfriend interjects saying that it is one of his favorites.

The Young Avengers disband after Iron Lad disappears into the time stream. Billy falls into a state of depression, which Teddy brings him out of by proposing to him. Before they can celebrate, though, they are summoned to the Avengers Mansion, where Captain America declared the remaining Young Avengers as full-fledged Avengers.

Billy and Teddy briefly retire from being superheroes. They return to heroics when Billy, attempting to manipulate reality to make up with Teddy after an argument, accidentally allows an interdimensional parasite called Mother masquerading as Teddy's mother into the world. The Young Avengers reunite to defeat Mother, chasing her through the Multiverse. After returning to Earth, Teddy leaves the team to figure out whether he truly loves Billy or if their relationship was a result of his reality-warping power.

Teddy accidentally lets Mother back into Earth. Still too weak to end the spell that initially brought Mother to Earth, Billy tries to tap into the power of the Demiurge, an omnipotent entity that he is destined to become. He is unable to, however, until he is reunited with Teddy. Teddy comforts him and reconciles with him, giving Billy the strength to reach his full potential, and he finally destroys Mother.

The two join the New Avengers, but later decide to disband the team and focus on their personal lives.

MARRIAGE
In 2019 the release of  'Avengers: Empyre', they have already married in issue #5 but that was a rolling-wedding real quick that they did not even have time to enjoy it together

So again after many struggling times, in the first issue of 'Empyre Aftermath Avengers' has released in 2020, they finally have a perfect wedding with ancient style on the first issue, a Jewish wedding

Jewish weddings are full of traditional elements, that are both meaningful and emotional, but also celebrate the joy of a couple’s union

During the wedding, Billy and Teddy have to do  'smashing a glass'  which means your partner or maybe both of you two will step and break the glass has been prepared

The fragility of glass suggests the frailty of human relationships. Since even the strongest love is subject to disintegration, the glass is broken as a kind of incantation: “As this glass shatters, so may our marriage never break.”

And after the breaking of a glass, every guest in Billy and Teddy's wedding cheer 'Mazel Tov' which means good luck
