Han Solo ties the knot as Chewbacca, Obi Wan Kenobi look on'We are not geeks,' says groomBy Andrew Thomas: Friday, 16 May 2008, 11:05 AMWINDOW CLEANER Bramwell Brightey dressed up as Han Solo to marry Tamsyn Lofts dressed as Princess Leia at Leatherhead Registry Office last week. The service was watched by Chewbacca, Imperial Stormtroopers and Obi Wan Kenobi.Han Brightey said: "We didn't really want a traditional church wedding, so we decided we'd do something different. We both like the Star Wars films but we're not fanatics or geeks. We figured that a lot of our friends liked the films as well and Star Wars is massive everywhere all around the world."The pair had originally wanted to tie-fighter the knot on May 4 - May the fourth be with you - but instead had to wait till the following week as some of the 50 rebel alliance guests had been delayed at Aldebaran.And did the couple celebrate at the reception with a traditional first dance? Well, no:"We turned all the lights off and turned our light sabres on and had a duel, " Bramwell Solo confessed."The whole day was amazing, everyone looked amazing. I said to everyone there, this is the greatest day of my life. Everyone made an extra special effort and without them, the force would not have been so strong."
I would have said geek and dork...
