Jedi could perform marriages

Jedi could perform marriages, says Free Church of Scotland

Proposed changes to marriage would open the way for Star Wars Jedi to perform ceremonies, a church has said.

The Free Church of Scotland said the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill will allow groups promoting a belief to marry couples.

The government said the change was relevant to bodies such as humanists, who are classed as religious rather than non-religious at the moment.

A spokeswoman said the reputation of Scottish ceremonies would be protected.

I was once part of a crossed-lightsaber tunnel for the bride and groom at a wedding. There was the "Star Wars" main theme playing when they walked through it too.

Pity the lightsaber wasn't real, I've wanted one since I was 5.

You realise children of Jedi couples will in about twelve years be all "oh like the Force is sooooo bad, OMG! I mean it's called "The FORCE" not the "Ask Politely", it's all propaganda, the Sith Lords are like so misunderstood, cos of all that Lucasian propaganda."
