I just found out that the Star Destroyer cake I made was pictured twice in the latest issue of Bantha Tracks, the Newsletter of Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club. This is viewed world wide by Star Wars fans. Here is the full story:
A Match Made at the Ranch
Many fans dream of one day going to George Lucas’ Skywalker
Ranch, but who could imagine going to the Ranch and meeting the
love of your life all in the same day?
Consettsa Parker and Garet Jones were each scheduled to be at the
Ranch on May 4th, 2005, for a press event for Revenge of the Sith.
Parker was working with the press as a publicist, and Jones was
appearing in his stormtrooper costume, a member of the 501st
Golden Gate Garrison requested to come to the event to add
atmosphere and fun for the reporters.
According to Parker, she had always hoped to meet a man who loved
Star Wars as much as she did. A veteran of many press events, it is
likely she did not expect to meet such a man at the Ranch that day,
even though her press schedule was all about the new Star Wars
movie.
“Around 8:55am I heard through my head set that there were
stormtroopers and a Chewbacca available if any TV press needed
them for background or B-roll,” recalls Parker. “I was the first to
reply. ‘I need a stormtrooper and Chewbacca on the back porch at
9am’. ” The producer for the TV press I was working with said she
didn’t need any B-roll, but I recommended they do it just in case.
“As I rearranged wires and chairs preparing for the morning interviews to begin I heard a
distinct clanking sound…the sound of armor in motion,” continues Parker. “I turned and saw
him… my stormtrooper had arrived at 9am, helmet in hand.
“Anyone who knows me, knows that when I am working nothing can pull me out of it, but
at that moment all I saw was my stormtrooper and he took my breath
away. We looked at each other and I said ‘Aren’t you a li le short for a
stormtrooper?’ He replied, ‘Actually, I’m a little tall.’”
As chance would have it, Parker and Jones were able to sit and watch the
movie together that evening during the press screening. And the rest,
as they say, is history. “My heart belonged to Garet from that day,”
says Parker.
The two were married this past May, on the Kerner sound stage, the
former location of Industrial Light & Magic. Jones in stormtrooper
armor, and Parker in Boussh bounty hunter gear, exchanged vows
in the company of a host of fans who also wore costumes, many
of them from the Bay area’s Golden Gate Garrison.
The cake, created by Diane Rinella of Bewitching Elegance,
was in the shape of a huge, hovering star destroyer. Yes, a star
destroyer. The cake creator and her husband made their
own Imperial officer costumes to wear to the wedding.
Geo Puckett of Kerner Optical provided
special effects, and while all weddings
are special, few have special
effects!

My Sitcom Wedding
This is one of our favorite books! It is a must for anyone who is feeling the stain of planing a wedding.
Click here to find the book on Amazon.
From Amazon:
With three months to go until her blissful day of entering wedlock, Hyacynth was far more organized than any other bride she or her friends had ever known. As a creative person who had always done everything herself, plans and ideas for her Italian-Japanese fusion wedding were flowing effortlessly for her.
But things are never as easy as they should be. At T-minus 90 days, Hyacynth is about to discover that on the road to “happily ever after” she has a long way to go and that even the best laid plans can simply be a cover for chaos. She now finds herself thoroughly unprepared for others intervening in ways that she never anticipated while discovering that she must come to terms with internal demons that she did not know existed. The result is an often humorous and sometimes unnerving series of events told through words that are always brutally honest.
This is the true story of Hyacynth Arcola and her wedding. The names have been changed to protect the guilty.
Welcome!
