Wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Wedding of Han Solo and Leia Organa was a gala event that took place in 8 ABY, at the Alderaanian Consulate on Coruscant^[1], with Mon Mothma officiating.^[2] C-3PO was the ring-bearer, although he had been stuffed in a closet up until the start of the ceremony.^[3] Hundreds of people attended, with billions more across the galaxy "attending" through HoloNet coverage. Footage of the marriage was replayed on the HoloNet for weeks after the event and drew huge positive reactions.^[1]

At the wedding, Yarna d'al' Gargan danced the Dance of the Seventy Violet Veils and was spotted by a designer, becoming the model for his jeweled brassieres.^[4]

[edit] Behind the scenes

The Jedi Prince series ended with what was presumably a wedding between Han and Leia, but the series was discontinued and the ending has been disregarded by canon in favor of the one depicted in The Courtship of Princess Leia. Jedi Prince author Paul Davids had stated that the next book in the series would have had the wedding interrupted by Imperials.^[5]

Cracken's Threat Dossier incorrectly states that Han and Leia were married on Dathomir by Augwynne Djo after the Battle of Dathomir had concluded.

It is rumored that Return of the Jedi originally ended with the wedding. It has even been said that these scenes were filmed but never used.^[6]
