Why is Jabba in a Bridal outfit? Ohhhh...
Duncan Thomson, 41, and Sammi Gardiner, 39, got married in an unusual ceremony surrounded by friends and family all dressed as characters from the sci-fi movies.
In a pun on the films' famous phrase, "may the force be with you", they chose Monday as the date for the service, so they could bill it as "May the 4th be with you". (May 4 was declared "Star Wars Day" by bedwetting fanboys in what I consider it an outrageous slur on Hispanic Americans.)
However, despite his absence, the bride and groom tied the knot as the film's hero and heroine, exchanging vows themed on their favourite scenes: "I promise to protect you from carbon freezing and promise to protect you from the Dark Side, through hyperspace and into the far reaches of the galaxy."
The couple were joined by Mr Thomson's son Kieren, 18 in a Wookie suit and his daughter Charlotte, 20, carried out her duties as head bridesmaid while acting out the part of Queen Padme Amidala.
The couple, from the Isle of Wight, even invited the movie's director George Lucas, who wrote back to them saying he was unable to attend. The couple also sent invitations to actors Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill – who played Solo, Leia and Luke Skywalker in the cult films – but they did not attend.
