May the Force Be With You: Couple Tie the Knot in Star Wars-Themed Wedding

The bride and groom themselves were holding lightsabers and when Endra tapped the archway, the lightsabers parted so the couple could walk through. 

Endra makes lightsabers for a living

Endra is actually the owner of The Space Cantina Company, which specialises in retailing realistic-looking, customised lightsabers. 

But these toys aren’t just for show. Made from a durable polycarbonate material, the lightweight aluminum lightsabers allow you to live out your Star Wars fantasy by duelling with them. 

And yes, every single lightsaber used at the wedding was from The Space Cantina Company. 

Speaking to AsiaOne, Endra shared that the lightsabers are all premade. 

“I gave my wife one of the unique designs while I was holding one of the best selling designs.” 

He also revealed that apart from the lightsabers, there were other Star Wars elements used throughout the ceremony. 

For instance, he and the groomsmen had tiny Star Wars Lego mini figures added on their boutonnieres, while their wedding cake was also Star Wars-themed.

“We also had matching socks, there were stormtroopers and I was Darth Vader. During our pre-wedding shoot, we actually used one of our custom lightsaber hilts as a flower bouquet,” he added. 

But only one of them is a fan of of the franchise. 

Endra admitted to AsiaOne that while he is a massive Star Wars fan, his wife isn’t one. 

“She just let me have my dream wedding but she’s making efforts now to try to understand,” he said cheekily.

All in all, the couple took a year to plan out everything while juggling their own respective jobs. Previously, his wife was working as a property executive and currently, she is completing her degree at Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). 

In the comments, netizens were left starstruck by the setup from a galaxy far far way. 

Some also said that the groom should have dressed up like Darth Vader, one of the main characters of the franchise. 

It also seems to have inspired others to have their own themed wedding because several netizens started suggesting other ideas like a Harry Potter or Sanrio occasion. 

Other themed weddings 

In fact, one couple actually just had a Harry Potter-themed wedding last December. 

The set-up included elements like a Hedwig-like owl resting in a cage to a Triwizard Tournament’s golden dragon egg. 

The centrepiece was also a custom-made Mirror of Erised which stood on top of the stage. 

But all these didn’t come cheap and the bride revealed to AsiaOne that the wedding costs amounted to around $90,000 to $100,000.
