Wow, you are such a sweet, sweet bride to have a Star Wars themed wedding! My boyfriend LOVES Star Trek, but I would have to put my foot down if he tried to include it in our wedding! Of course, he hates weddings so he doesn't care one way or the other about what ours looks like!
KMSull - I myself am actually a HUGE Star Trek freak - although it's so random b/c I don't really like other sci fi and I don't know where it came from! But I'd never myself want a Star Trek wedding!
I actually am shocked that my partner cares one way or the other but he REALLY does - he ran over to pull out his replica light saber to see how I thought he could attach it to his belt to wear!!!
I NEVER dreamed of my wedding - I mean, I like the dress part but the rest of it - meh, don't care much. Never even thought I'd be getting married, so if he's the one with the big dream...why not?
Maybe you could suprise your boyfriend with some star trek element - like a Star Trek Grooms cake?
When a friend of mine got engaged, her FH told her about his dream wedding.
He wanted it to be in an artist's loft/gallery and have local musicians playing non-traditional stuff. He wanted fusion style food.
His FW set him straight, quick!
They had the wedding back east where her family was. A very traditional and formal Catholic Mass wedding. The governor of the state came to wedding because he and his wife were friends of her parents.
After the wedding and HUGE reception, my friend's DH told me he was shocked at how many details his then FW had planned before he even met her.
I informed him that fantasizing and planning our weddings is why girls learn to walk - to practice walking down the aisle.
my fi's only dream for our wedding was to be able to share it with all our friends and family. too bad my crazy anxiety isn't allowing that to happen! but on the plus side, you did just make me a little happier that his dream was not the same as your fi, something i could make true but oh lord, really wouldn't want to. he's lucky to have you!
My FI did not have a dream wedding per se thank goodness but I did ask him what was important to him and what he wanted to be involved in decision making wise and I think it has been really good for us - because I knew the things I could go wild on and what things I knew I might need to compromise on!!!!
So far the only real thing he has needed to be involved in other than the major stuff like budget and guest list was locations!!!!!
GretaEhm - I know, girls dream their entire lives about their weddings - I just never did for some reason -maybe b/c my parents weren't married when I was born? I don't know. I dreamed of a lot of very girly things, but not weddings.
I gotta say, your friends hubby's idea of a wedding sounds so cool to me and WAY more fun than what they actually did, but to each his own of course!
My guy of course won't get ALL of his dream Star Wars elements - the 500 or so storm troopers he would like to have there? Not gonna happen - but really, only b/c it would cost a fortune, I'd do it!
Think of it this way - he doesn't care if I get my dream Louboutins now!
haha wildside my future hubby asked if we could ask the mat'd to dress as darth!!
zelda or nightare before christmas theme...lol...yeah so not happening w/ my parents. I wouldn't have cared...I really never dreamed of my wedding either so I have been kind of going with the flow..and making things up as I see what I like.
but, I'm doing a zelda themed groom cake for him..and we're dressing up as link and the princess for halloween. I could have so gone for getting married on Halloween but I'm pretty sure my mom would have freaked cuz she is anti-halloween so that crossed our nightmare before christmas.
lol, my FI's only request i that we have ONE good wedding picture to frame. seriously, that's all he has requested...
Hi wildstyle...you must show him this link: http://www.meganhobson.com/site/a-star-wars-wedding/#When:00:13:20Z
you could definitely have them do a sword salute with the light sabers!!! and then do a darth vader groom's cake and have you as princess lai and luke as the cake toppers and perhaps play the theme song as you're walking down the aisle? i definitely think there's a tasteful way to bring it in without going totally over the top.
i saw another girl with subtle star wars references in her wedding; the cake table had decorated letters that said "I love you." and "I know" spelled out =)
Heh krissycake, I heard that Harrison's line of "I know" was ad libbed! He felt that Han wouldn't say something cheesy like, "I love you too."
I'm sure your guy thinks you're totally the coolest fiancée ever! It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. I love the SW wedding aqtang linked to, it is so awesome. There are a ton more pictures here:

Wildstyle,
Are we marrying the same guy? My fiance wants to get married in Las Vegas at some Star Wars place.
my fi claims he doesn't have a vision (have tried asking in the planning process) and it's whatever i want.. but i think he expects it to be a formal, classy affair but fun.. he did balk at my idea of magic markers and crayons at the sign-in.. so we're doing sunflower pens instead - which he still doesn't love but he only gets to veto 1x unless he comes up w/ an alternative idea!
How about having as your "big exit" running thru the star wars light sabres? Crebre had a good idea! Use it as the way you leave!
You could have the dj wear a darth mask ya know? How fun would it be for a guy to use the darth vader voice change thing to be the dj? And a groom's cake shaped like the death star!
Now it was funny yesterday. We just went to a concert downtown and afterwards we were leaving and saw lots of people dressed up running around ATL. Turns out Dragoncon was/ is there this weekend and it's apparently popular for many of them to dress like star wars! We saw 3 boba fetts.
This is a great topic. Mr. DG asked me what I wanted my wedding to be like when we had been dating for about 6 months. I was stumped because I wasn't really thinking about marrying him at the time and I had never fantasized about my wedding.
He, on the other hand, had this elaborate image of boardshorts and flip flops and a pig roast in the mountains. We definitely did the boardshorts and flipflops for the rehearsal and the pig roast was prohibitively expensive considering the number of vegetarians we had!
So yes, boys do have wedding fantasies... sometimes more than the girl!
I did fantasize about my wedding as a kid -- my best friend and I once designed our weddings, we were about 11 or 12. I wanted 7 bridesmaids dressed in the 7 colors of the rainbow, and I wanted to wear a giant Scarlett O'Hara hoop skirt! 11-year-old me would probably have been horrified to learn I'd get married in a lace sheath, and that my bridesmaids would wear navy :-)
I don't think my sweetie ever really thought about his wedding in terms of details, but he had very strong ideas about what he wanted when we started planning. Including all of the people important to him and his family was his #1 priority. He wanted to invite a lot of people, have it on a Saturday night in the summer so more people could attend, and have tons of dancing and great cake! I'll be honest, I might have preferred a smaller wedding, but I thought we compromised well.
@GretaEhm -- I can't help feeling bad for the husband you describe in your post! It sounded like he had some great, fun ideas for his wedding, but didn't get much input. Even if the bride has been thinking about it longer (which isn't always the case), I think wedding planning should involve at least some of what the groom wants!
@wildstyle -- I love that you guys are having a Star Wars wedding!! Look up Mrs. Hummingbird's old posts, they had a Han and Leia cake topper. http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/07/10/a-geek-wedding-part-3-the-cake/ I also love the idea of having you guys run through a tunnel of light sabers as your grand exit.
I'm glad to see a lot of people weigh in on this. I first came to weddingbee b/c I was so clueless about weddings and had never dreamed or thought much about my own - so for me, giving my groom what he wanted was never a big deal b/c I had and to this day, still have no idea what I would want for my dream wedding.
I just didn't think he'd really want anything specific and was kind of suprised!
I am, however, very excited to be married no matter what the wedding ends up being like!
My fiance really wants us to have Golden Ticket style invites but we couldn't find anything that would work properly!
hubby got his dream wedding. we eloped to PNG and on our wedding day we went diving, went diving again, got married and then went diving some more. lots of fun & laughter, the locals came out to sing and play music and it was just hubby and i.
congrats on your new wedding plans wildstyle... hopefully this means you will love & laugh throughout the planning process
FI dream wedding is to go to the courthouse by ourselves and then go out to dinner with our parents. I wanted a big wedding so we met in the middle, that way we both kind of get we want.
My FI had definitely been thinking about our wedding before I EVER did. Like wildstyle, I came to weddingbee because I needed to learn a thing or two about weddings, since I knew essentially nothing! I'm just not the type of girl who grew up dreaming about a wedding day at all. Never imagined it, never played pretend about it or anything.
If it had been up to me, we'd be having a really casual backyard kind of wedding, or eloping, but early on in the planning my FI told me about how important it was to him to have a big event with all of his family and friends there yada yada yada. I was kind of surprised! Luckily since I'm not super interested in wedding stuff, he's been super helpful in making it happen :)
Wow - thanks everyone. Love the star wars wedding aqtang posted!!! I don't think ours is gonna be that cool and authentic, but actually, they look great and I love her outfit!
@krissycake and mr.bee - i'm totally stealing that "i love you"/"i know" idea
@MelissaB - I was way big into rainbow colors when I was little too. The rainbow bridesmaids would have definitely been appealing to me as a little one! And although I didn't play "bride" or wedding as a little girl, I did play princess and I know my little girl self would be so upset with my plain sheath dress too - she'd be expecting a ballgown for sure complete with dramatic bustle - I was fascinated with bustles!
@eloping - love ya eloping! your wedding sounds like my dream wedding actually - the only thing i dream about is travel!
@MrsBradtobe - Good that you guys compromised. I'll admit one thing to you - the only "dream" aspect to my former wedding plans was that that it was going to be in New Zealand! But we'll be having something there later on, so maybe I'll dream about that!
@minneapolitan - are we the same person?? My partner has said to me more than one time in the planning process "You just know nothing about weddings huh?" and its true - I know I love em but that's all.
I heard that Harrison ad libbed that line because Carrie had messed up the scene one too many times and he was getting frustrated, but maybe I heard wrong ;) I always chuckle over that one.
Mr. Star has at least bi-weekly actual dreams about our wedding, although the details are always fuzzy for him (how male, right?), but he's totally just as excited for it as i am!

I posted here the other day about my partner being upset about my wedding suggestions (hope this works) Expensive taste vs. um, not expensive taste - is it budget orsomething else?
So, following the advice of many smart bees, I asked him what his dream wedding would be - not expecting him to have one but - he did! His big DREAM is to have a star wars theme wedding. He isn't fussed about the budget - he just really wants there to be Darth Vader etc. I guess l knew that but I did not realize that this is REALLY important to him - way more important that it is for me to have anything - and plus, we did city hall already which was pretty romantic actually. So okay, Star Wars wedding here we come!
And something just hit me like a ton of bricks - little girls dream of being princesses on their wedding day - what do boys dream of? Being Han Solo, or Superman, or something like that, right?
Does your partner have a dream wedding in mind?
