The Throne Room
(from Star Wars) (1)
Listener Submission: Most Unusual Wedding
Music Stories
I am a major fan of the Star Wars movies, and I used
to joke around with my friends that I would never get married
until I found a woman who would allow me to play some Star
Wars music during our wedding ceremony.
I began dating Michelle in 1996, and about a month into our
relationship, I mentioned in jest my thoughts on having Star
Wars music at my wedding. Now we were by no means very
serious yet, but she thought it sounded like a good idea because
of the majestic scope of the John Williams soundtracks. Right
then and there, I decided that this could be the real deal
if she would be crazy enough to allow me this single caveat
on what all men know to be "the woman's day."
In December, 1997, Michelle and I were engaged, and on October
10, 1998, we exited the church at the end of our wedding ceremony
to "The Throne Room," a grand march which is heard
at the end of the original Star Wars movie from 1977.
