A couple who got engaged on the Oregon coast exchanged vows during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 11, 2024. Thomas “Tommy” Wolter and Eleisa “Elli” Aparico wed in front of an estimated 135.4 to over 142 million viewers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The Latin music superstar, whose full name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, served as their witness during the ceremony, which took place approximately five minutes into the 13-minute performance.
The ceremony marked a historic moment, as this halftime show became the most-watched in history, surpassing the previous record set in 2025, according to early viewership estimates. Following their vows, the couple shared a kiss while surrounded by dancers and musicians celebrating their union.
Wolter, a registered nurse, proposed to Aparico at Cannon Beach, Oregon, in October 2024. In an Instagram post from October 20, 2024, he expressed his love, stating, “Words can never express how much I love this woman… for the rest of our lives.” Aparico later shared her own reflections on their engagement, posting photos on December 31, 2025, with the caption, “Still stuck on this moment. Last year as fiancées.”
The couple had originally invited Bad Bunny to their wedding, but due to his halftime show performance, he offered them the unique opportunity to marry during the event instead. According to the Associated Press, he signed their marriage certificate during the show, making the moment even more special.
Their wedding attire reflected a harmonious style, with both wearing white. The bride’s dress was designed by renowned wedding dress designer Hayley Paige, who revealed to The New York Times that she was asked to supply dresses nearly a month prior, but only learned at the last minute that her design would be featured during the performance. The couple’s hair and makeup were done by stylist Mariah Montes, enhancing the joyous occasion.
Wedding photographer Nate Meeds, who captured their engagement, shared a video on social media showcasing both their proposal and the Super Bowl ceremony. He noted, “Propose at the coast. Get married at the Super Bowl. Casual.”
During the halftime show, the couple sat beside a three-tier wedding cake, dancing as Bad Bunny performed. The show featured a special appearance by Lady Gaga, who sang “Die With a Smile” alongside the Puerto Rican salsa band Los Sobrinos.
Wolter highlighted the experience on Instagram, sharing a photo from their wedding during the halftime show. He expressed his gratitude, stating, “An unforgettable dance with the love of my life. Cannot thank @badbunnypr enough for this beautiful opportunity of a lifetime.”
Social media reactions to the couple’s unique ceremony have been overwhelmingly positive, with their accounts flooded with congratulations from friends, family, and fans alike. This extraordinary wedding not only celebrated their love but also became a memorable moment in Super Bowl history.
