Emma & Sean are fans of Star Wars, but rather than go all out in a themed wedding, they planned a subtle nod to their love of the movies combined with a classic summer wedding feel. A gorgeous pink and green scheme, with themed place names and favours, not to mention a gorgeous cake tumbling with Star Wars icons. However, as Emma, radiant in Maggie Sottero, and Sean, looking dashing in Stormtrooper monochrome were about to exit their ceremony, a couple of uninvited guests turned up to escort them, courtesy of the brilliant Star Wars costuming group UK Garrison who were on the premier red carpet last night. As they were then escorted out, and drinks were enjoyed outside Hitchin Priory, another surprise hairy guest came out of the marquee! This was such a fun wedding, added to by the mind-blowing skills of elite magician Lee ‘Jedi’ Smith, some bubbles and hulahooping, and choice props in the evening on the dancefloor, following Emma & Sean’s fantastic choreographed first dance! To end the night though, we saw the ultimate in lightsaber battle between man and wife! May the force be with Emma & Sean for a super married life together! Credits at the end…
