Greatest Comics Never Seen - Wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix


According to an article in Marvel Vision 19, the wedding of Cyclops and Phoenix was originally scheduled for X-Factor #66 in May of 1991.  An editorial decision was made to postpone the wedding so it could take place in X-Men.  However, this cover by Whilce Portacio and Jackson Guice was produced before the event was cancelled.
