In a ceremony at Star Wars Celebration V, this year’s annual Star Wars super-convention, film star R2-D2 married StarWars.com editor Bonnie Burton. The proceedings were handled by Darth Maul with Lord Vader and Elvis Trooper in attendance. Bonnie Burton-D2 insists that the marriage is “open source” and that she will continue to flirt with “adorkable” humans both near and far-far away.

Video of the occasion can be found here.
