Han and Leia tied the knot: A Star Wars Wedding
Filed under: Alternative Weddings, Over-the-Top Weddings, Ceremonies, Theme weddings

The couple had a wedding cake in the shape Jedi master Yoda, and rather than a first dance, they opted for a light saber duel. They originally wanted to have the wedding on May 4th so their invitations could read, "May the 4th be with you." These are some clever Star Wars nerds!
Why Star Wars? The couple has shared a love of the films all their lives, and since neither of them were church-going folks (actually, the groom said he gets bored sitting in church and listening to hymns), they felt it would be "a bit hypocritical" to have a church wedding. So, they worked for a year on this wedding, flying special costumes to Surrey from America, and ended up having a wonderful time, with the groom saying, "Everyone made an extra special effort and without them, the force would not have been so strong."
