This wedding embraces all facets of the Star Wars universe: the movies, the comics, the lore, the music, and the ideal that everyone deserves to light up a lightsaber in your honor. It makes for pretty rad photos, too. Let’s peek at the blend of Chinese and Jewish traditions, Imperial Knight groomsmen, braided-haired bridesmaids, and the truly epic fight scene performance at the reception.

Kids, musicians, and a red dress makes Michelle & Sean’s Winter wedding shine

With a community of Seattle musicians at your disposal and Sodo Pop as your venue, music was definitely a theme of this wedding. Add in the sweet times with a blended family and you’ve got some seriously cute moments. But when the bride had to give “her parents” to a friend while she walked up the aisle, things got funny.
