Wasn't Bowser in a tux at the wedding?
I only admittedly played through half of Paper Mario at a friend's house, and then didn't wanna pony up the 50 dollars for a game that was 2 years old (older now) so I missed out on the full story.
It seems this may have been the start to Mario characters having deeper and more tragic backstories, after Count Bleck we soon after got Rosaline, who has quite a bittersweet backstory herself as well. I think Nintendo is trying to gently age the franchise from its normal "He's evil, kill him" and giving villains and characters more depth that we're used to.
Count Bleck really seems like the first to really do this, so good for him, hopefully the pattern will continue into newer Mario games to come.
