Carrie and Cory Shields first met when they were interning with Disney’s college program, they fell in love immediately and realized both of them loved Star Wars.
He told her that in the whole universe, Boba Fett was truly able to escape the Sarlacc pit and remain to be the best anti-hero in Star Wars and she looked at him and said ‘I love you.’ To this, he replied ‘I know,’ paying homage to Leia and Han Solo, and the couple got married.
Hillis thinks that Carrie and Cory planned their themed wedding very well, without going over the top.
“They had some very unique elements to their day based on the Star Wars movies, such as a full life-sized R2D2 robot that was remotely controlled and used as their ring bearer during the ceremony,” he said.
They also attached a GoPro to the robot to capture the ceremony from its perspective.
“They also had the theme integrated into much of their wedding day decor, music, and their invitations.
I think it’s good to still maintain some traditional elements to the wedding (after all, the day is not just all about Star Wars, or whatever the theme is, it’s about getting married primarily). Carrie and Cory’s wedding, while having a theme, also incorporated elements of their style (such as Carrie’s choice of dress and hairstyle and flowers, and Cory’s choice of shoes, etc).
”
“The bride and groom were over the moon (or maybe I should say they were over the Death Star) with how things turned out! I don’t think they thought their photos would go viral by any means, but we all knew they had pulled off a very unique themed wedding that was fun for them and very entertaining for their guests!”
“Chris and Jolie wanted to go all the way for their Star Wars theme, so they flew all the guests to the swamp covered planet of Dagobah, where Luke had once trained to be a Jedi with Yoda,” Hillis explained.
“It worked well because the bride and groom wanted a more secluded setting so that the Empire could not bother them on their wedding day.
All joking aside, they simply wanted to add some Star Wars accents to their day and capture some fun memories incorporating the theme. Their lightsabers were made by the Jedi Masters at the company Ultrasabers.”
