Because of a clever play on the series’ popular catch phrase “May the force be with you”, the date May 4th has come to be known and loved as Star Wars Day. Today, members of the fandom celebrate with movie re-runs, costume contests, various memes across the internet, and more—this year a new Star Wars lego collection is even being launched in honor of the unofficial holiday.

Star Wars holds a special place in many people’s hearts and even makes its way into major life events—such as weddings—for the truly die hard fans. A few couples featured here on SBWS have included the franchise in their wedding theme and it can be seen in the subtle, and a few not-so-subtle, details throughout their big days. From Star Wars themed drinks and cookies to lightsaber exits to actual Stormtroopers, these couples pulled out all the stops to make their wedding days truly out of this world.

And, Star Wars is just one of many wedding theme possibilities. For couples looking to add some flair and individuality to their wedding, there’s no shortage of other fandoms to choose from. Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Avengers, Disney or even a Batman theme—just to name a few—could all be worked into a unique wedding celebration.

For today, enjoy your fill of all things Star Wars and May the Fourth be with you!
