It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Christopher Reeve’s son.

And the ABC News correspondent has a touching story to share.

Will Reeve, 32, who is planning his upcoming nuptials to fiancé Amanda Dubin, has a special way to honor his late father on the big day.

“I’ll be wearing his cufflinks,” he revealed to People.

The “Superman” star was paralyzed in a horse riding accident in 1995, and died in 2004 from complications of that injury. His wife, Dana Reeve, died shortly after in 2006 after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

“We’re in the middle of planning,” Will teased about his wedding without giving away any details. “Amanda has become like a full-time wedding planner.”

And turns out, it’s a much-suited job for the 28-year-old, to whom Reeve proposed last November.

Amanda works with her mom, Victoria Dubin, the founder of Victoria Dubin Events, to plan countless celebrations for couples.

Will also recently honored his dad in the television special “Will Reeve: Finding My Father.” The journalist retraced the exact same path Christopher took through Alaska and Mexico while filming a nature documentary shortly before he was paralyzed in 1995.

“I had always dreamed that he and I would go there together, or that I would go and come back and be able to tell him all about it,” Will told People. “Of course, that ended up not being possible. So I made it my mission as a journalist to make a documentary that picked up where my dad left off.”

In a heartfelt essay, per ABC, Will reflected on his dad’s career and legacy.

“The world knows my dad as Superman, and as the face of spinal cord injury — a heroic figure fighting for others and for himself. Many have also learned more about him and our family in a recent award-winning theatrical documentary, ‘Super/Man: the Christopher Reeve Story.’ But there’s still more to the story, still more to the man,” expressed the anchor.

As for why this project was so meaningful to him?

Will explained, “For decades, I have dreamed of visiting those last locations he filmed before his accident.”

“I’ve wanted to make a pilgrimage to the remote lagoon in Mexico and the tiny Alaskan island near Siberia, where my dad: made tortillas with a local fishing family, sailed in a traditional walrus skin boat, reached out and touched a gray whale, and documented all of it for a project that has become for me a totemic depiction of who my father truly was as a human being.”
