Are you and your significant other die-hard Star Wars fans ready to tie the knot? Well you're in luck. Now's your chance get married in a galaxy far, far away on May 4, better known to fans across the world as Star Wars Day.
Akron Municipal Court Administrative/Presiding Judge Ron Cable will officiate Star Wars-themed weddings on Wednesday, May 4 from 10 a.m. until noon at the Highland Square Theater in Akron, which is a 10,000-square-foot space that seats over 600 patrons.
Couples are encouraged to wear costumes and Star Wars attire for the themed ceremony.
