I loved this so much!! There were only two parts that kind of grated on the inner-grammar-nerd in me.
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Perhaps Oliver thought the capital letters in his shout would have some effect that his other protest had not.
People do not yell in capital letters. The capital letters in writing, of course, will show the anger and volume of the yelling, but the character making a point, or thinking that he's yelling in capital letters is pointless. As is the par where Tim tells Connor to "Lose the exclamation points." A simple, "Dude, calm down," gets the same point across.
Sorry, I know I'm being nit-picky. Those two things just kind of distracted me for a moment and pulled me out of the story.
Otherwise, I absolutely love this story. The idea of a Superhero and Super Villain Ball? Epic. And the marriage ceremony? Also epic. I loved this so much. SOOOO much. *huggles fic*
