You know the answer... you know that I cannot marry you while Guy lives. I am sorry. Truly I am. For I do love you -- but he was my first beloved... and for me to become your bride would not be fair -- to anyone!

— Kari Limbo

Synopsis for "With These Rings..."

Marriage of Green Lantern and Kari Limbo — GL and Kari's Wedding

Hal Jordan is prepared to marry Kari Limbo at a small suburban church. In attendance are Superman, Flash, Green Arrow and Black Canary. Before the ceremony can commence, Kari suffers from another of her prophetic visions and draws an image on the ground. Superman recognizes the image as that of a Phantom Zone Projector and flies off towards the Fortress of Solitude to investigate further. When he arrives, he activates the Phantom Zone's view finder only to see a shadowy image staring back at him. The image draws Superman inside the portal, pulling him into the Phantom Zone. Back at the chapel, Kari has another vision, and warns the others that Superman is in trouble. Green Lantern takes off to check up on him. He bypasses the Fortress' security systems and finds the Phantom Zone Projector. He charges his ring, then dives forward into the portal. Inside the Phantom Zone, Hal is shocked to discover that his old backup Guy Gardner is alive and well. Further, Guy has aligned himself with General Zod and several other Phantom Zone criminals. They have attacked Superman and managed to subdue him. Hal and Guy begin fighting one another, but Guy's power ring is intensified with the help of General Zod. Superman awakens long enough to take down Zod's confederates, giving Hal the chance to take down Gardner. Hal and Superman escape from the Phantom Zone leaving Zod and Gardner behind. Now aware that Kari's first true love Guy Gardner is still alive, Hal grows worried. He tells Kari what has happened, but Kari can no longer marry him. Her heart belongs to Guy Gardner.

Trivia

This issue includes "Daily Planet Extra", Volume 79, Issue #34 (August 20th, 1979).
A letter in Green Lantern (Volume 2) #128 complained that the Phantom Zone criminals could touch and harm Superman and Green Lantern in issue #122, citing Superboy (Volume 1) #128, Jimmy Olsen #62, and the letter column of Action Comics #354. Editor Jack C. Harris replied that several references backed their handling of the Phantom Zone prisoners, notably Superman Family #189 (edited by Superman lore expert E. Nelson Bridwell), but finally said that Guy's Power Ring, via the combined will power of the prisoners, gave them sufficient substance.
