I got the last part I needed to finish my saber just two days before the big event. Thanks to TCSS for rushing the part to me!
This couple invited the Rebel Legion and 501st Legion to be part of their special day. The groom dressed as Han, and of course Han's best man was Chewie. The other groomsmen wore Jedi costumes. At the end of the wedding ceremony, 6 Jedi from the Rebel Legion formed an arch with our lightsabers, and the wedding party exited under the arch. Afterward, I changed into my stormtrooper costume, and the Empire crashed the reception. The couple had a first lightsaber duel rather than first dance. Wedding guests could also dance with any of the characters in exchange for a donation to the Capital Area Humane Society. I think altogether we gathered $400 for a good cause.
