They both wanted to have
Star Wars represented at the wedding, so the cake was the first project, of course. They went with a three tier cake to create three separate scenes from the films. The first and largest was Luke at his home on Tatooine from
A New Hope which was important to Chris since he'd actually been to the
filming location for that scene. The middle part is the Endor forest where Leia first meets Wicket which represented
Return of the Jedi, the first
Star Wars film that Courtney ever saw and also, the only filming location that she’s been to so far, the Muir Woods in California. The top part is Anakin and Padme getting married from
Attack of the Clones which represents the two of them joining together as one. While neither of them have been to Lake Como, Italy yet, it’s certainly on their schedule.
Oh, and there were 66 guests. I wonder if that was an accident??
Here's some photos, featuring Chris and Courtney, and Star Wars of course!Photos by one of Chris' sisters.
