Unexpected Celebrity Appearance Steals the Show at Couple's Second Wedding
After their live wedding during Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime show went viral, Eleisa “Elly” Aparicio and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter were certainly not thinking to themselves, “Debí tirar más fotos.”
They did, however, take aspects of that once-in-a-lifetime experience and incorporate them into a much more intimate second ceremony two months later at a winery in Temecula, California.
“It was so sweet because having had the Super Bowl wedding prior, it was so nice that we could actually incorporate some elements of that into our personal wedding,” Aparicio, 30, told Page Six in an exclusive interview alongside Wolter, 32.
“Tommy and his mom and my mom walked down [the aisle] to ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos,’ but a piano rendition. And then all of our bridal party and groomsmen — they walked down to ‘Die With a Smile,’ also piano rendition.”
Notably, Lady Gaga — who happens to be Aparicio’s favorite artist — surprised even the couple when she made an appearance during the show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium to deliver a never-before-heard salsa rendition of her and Bruno Mars’ hit ballad.
“So just little things tied in,” Aparicio gushed, “and it was just a beautiful nod to what we had just experienced.”
She did not, however, wear the Hayley Paige wedding dress she donned during the Super Bowl, as she had selected her actual gown a year prior in February 2025.
Though Aparicio and Wolter — who are both Los Angeles-based registered nurses — knew deep down that “busy” Bad Bunny would not be making a surprise appearance at their April nuptials, they said many of their guests were not as convinced.
“I wish!” Wolter blurted out, as Aparicio agreed that “that would’ve been cool.”
“We didn’t think [he’d come], but it’s funny — a lot of our friends did. They were like, ‘Is he gonna come out? Is he gonna sing? Is he gonna perform?'” Wolter recalled. “And we had to tell everyone, ‘No, no. It’s just her and I!'”
It’s the wedding to which they had invited the Grammy-winning rapper back in October 2025. Though he technically declined, he did them one better by inviting them to wed in the middle of his electric yet emotional halftime performance that celebrated his native Puerto Rico.
“Just being there was something that we never would’ve imagined ever in our entire lives, so that was just a crazy experience,” Aparicio marveled.
“There were moments, especially every time we would rehearse, and we’d have to go up in the front and hold each other’s hands, we would look at each other and be like, ‘What are we doing?'”
Their families, who knew they were “involved” in the show but didn’t know how, were watching intently at home.
“The first thing Tom and I did when we were done and we walked back to the backstage area, we just immediately both FaceTimed our moms and were like, ‘So? What’d you think?'” Aparicio shared, noting that her own mom — like the millions of people who watched — wasn’t sure whether the wedding was “real.”
But it was! Antonio Reyes, a pastor at Project Church South Sacramento, served as officiant, and Bad Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — served as witness by signing their marriage certificate before the big spectacle.
It was a special moment for Aparicio and Wolter, who told us they took the opportunity to gift the musician some Pokémon cards — including a PSA 10 shiny Scorbunny — and a letter in Spanish in which they thanked him for giving “two regular people in the world” such an unforgettable opportunity.
To commemorate the remarkable moment, Kay Jewelers gifted Aparicio and Wolter each a one-of-a-kind necklace featuring each other’s names and birthstones as well of the date of the Super Bowl — in Roman numerals.
“They came up with such beautiful, individualized pieces,” Aparicio gushed. “So that was an amazing experience, too. A lot of cool stuff came out of this.”
In addition to being busy, full-time nurses, she and Wolter now also co-host a podcast appropriately titled, “Two Rings.”
