Will Reeve Honors Late Dad Christopher at His Wedding—Here’s His Special Tribute!
ABC News correspondent Will Reeve is gearing up for the big day with his fiancée Amanda Dubin, and let me tell you, this wedding is going to be as heartfelt as it gets! While he’s keeping the wedding details under wraps (don’t grumble too much, folks!), Will is revealing a touching way to remember his iconic father, Christopher Reeve. Buckle up: he plans to sport his dad’s cufflinks during the ceremony!
Christopher Reeve, best known for playing Superman, faced unimaginable struggles after a tragic horse riding accident in 1995 left him paralyzed. He passed away in 2004, with Will’s mother, Dana Reeve, following him in 2006 due to lung cancer. The Reeve family has a legacy of resilience, and Will seems to be continuing that spirit. In fact, just last year, he created a documentary titled “Will Reeve: Finding My Father,” where he retraced his dad’s footsteps through Alaska and Mexico—journeys that the elder Reeve had planned to document before his life dramatically changed. In an emotional sentiment, Will shared, “I had always dreamed that he and I would go there together…So I made it my mission as a journalist to make a documentary that picked up where my dad left off.”
Now, let’s talk wedding prep! Will is currently in the planning phase, with Amanda, a professional wedding planner (yep, she’s got this). They got engaged in November 2023, and the excitement is palpable. On Instagram, the couple expressed their love simply with a caption of “Us ????.” Will’s ABC coworkers have been showering them with congratulations, with comments like “Oh my gosh this makes me SO happy!” from colleague Gio Benitez, making clear they’re all rooting for the couple.
It seems love found Will exactly when he wasn’t looking for it. In a recent segment, he shared some wise words: “If I can speak personally, it will happen when you least expect it. And you’ll be the happiest you’ll ever be.” Classic advice wrapped in romance!
So as Will steps into this new chapter, it’s safe to say his father’s spirit will be ever-present, both through those sentimental cufflinks and in the memories carried forward into his marriage. Here’s to love, legacy, and all the feels.
