Geeks Are Sexy bring us this story of Slave Leia marrying Darth Vader (her father, in case you forgot). The video quality is bad but the outlandishness of this wedding comes through clearly enough.
It may be time to declare that Star Wars weddings have jumped the shark.
Another nerd wedding. This video is particularly odd in that the appearance of the best man (0:54) is treated as unremarkable, as though Star Wars characters are always invited to weddings. Or maybe Ernie couldn't afford to rent a tux so wore the nearest thing to it he had in his closet.
You won't want to watch the whole video. Weddings are great for those involved but pretty boring for the rest of us.

You see these stories of Star Wars-themed weddings quite often these days, as the first generation of Star Wars fanatics grows up (or sort of) and gets hitched. I always wonder how the men convince their fiancées to go for it. It cannot possibly be the wedding they dreamt of as girls.
The photo accompanying this account of a recent Star Wars wedding in Bognor Regis, West Sussex says it all: disappointment, regret, embarrassment, resignation. The poor lady! And they don't even have honeymoon plans yet. Dude was probably waiting for Star Tours to re-open.

Not every Star Wars wedding features a reluctant bride. See here.
