It's May 4th today so you know what that means: It's "Star Wars" day! May the fourth be with you! In honor of this almost-too-great-to-be-true holiday, we're sharing the stories of a few magical real weddings that featured "Star Wars." Read on for some fun tales and fantastic photos.

Photographer Steven Kowalski shot the wedding of John and Mindy Doychich and created this eye-popping image of the couple and their best man and maid of honor. "They had mentioned wanting to do something different," Kowalski said. "I had the idea for them to be looking up at an epic battle."

Nadia and Dale went all in on their "Star Wars"-themed wedding -- just look at that Jabba the Hutt cake! The bride told Offbeat Bride, "Every entrance was matched to John Williams' ['Star Wars' film] score. The stormtroopers entered to Darth Vader's theme, along with Dale's dad as celebrant ... The Princess Leia flower girls and my handmaiden of honor entered to the pretty 'Across the Stars' love theme while I entered the chapel with my dad in a Jedi costume."
