A Wedding Filled With Meaning

Before guests raised a glass to the newlyweds, Will Reeve shared how he planned to honor his late father.
The ABC News correspondent wanted Christopher Reeve’s presence felt on his wedding day.

As a result, the celebration carried more than joy. It held quiet meaning.

Surrounded by loved ones and longtime colleagues, Will and Amanda Dubin exchanged vows in a warm, intimate setting. Although many details stayed private, guests later shared glimpses online.

One personal touch stood out. Will wore his father’s cufflinks.

Inside the Miami Ceremony

Will married Amanda Dubin on Saturday, January 17, 2026, in Miami.
People confirmed the wedding.

Several ABC News and Good Morning America colleagues attended, including Robin Roberts, Lara Spencer, and Gio Benitez.

Set outdoors, the ceremony unfolded beneath twinkling lights and tropical greenery. The mood felt elegant yet relaxed.

Later, the reception came alive with music and dancing. Guests also discovered handwritten notes placed at each seat, adding a thoughtful and personal layer to the night.

Honoring Christopher Reeve

While photos remained limited, Will revealed one detail ahead of time.
In a March 2025 interview with People, he shared his plan.

“I’ll be wearing his cufflinks,” he said.

Christopher Reeve, best known for playing Superman, died in 2004 after complications from a spinal cord injury. Will’s mother, Dana Reeve, passed away in 2006 following lung cancer.

Though absent in person, both parents were remembered through intentional, quiet moments.

Before the Wedding

Will and Amanda got engaged on November 8, 2025.
Two days later, they shared the news on Instagram.

Photos showed a candlelit proposal with the Empire State Building glowing behind them. Amanda kept the caption simple: “Us 🤍.”

The post also included moments with family and friends. A cellist played nearby, surrounded by roses and soft candlelight.

In a statement to People, Will said, “Friday was the happiest night of our lives, and we can’t wait to spend forever together.”

Living His Own Legacy

Years earlier, Will reflected on his childhood in a 2021 Good Morning America essay. He wrote about his father’s legacy—and finding his own path.

As a child, he repeatedly watched a nature documentary his father hosted. It sparked a lifelong love of whales and a dream of seeing them together.

That dream never came true. Christopher was paralyzed when Will was still a toddler and passed away when Will was 12.

As a result, they missed many typical father-son moments. Still, Will found other ways to feel close to him.

On Father’s Day in 2021, he watched whales in Alaska. In that moment, he felt his father beside him.

Becoming His Own Person

After losing both parents, Will struggled with how to honor their legacy. At first, he felt pressure to live exactly as his father had.

Over time, that changed.

He realized honor didn’t mean imitation. It meant authenticity.

Later, he shared that discovering who you are—and living that truth—is “the ultimate form of honor.”

Now in his thirties, Will carries his parents’ legacy forward in his own way.
“I find peace and strength,” he said, “in keeping my dad in my heart while I follow it wherever it leads.”
