WATCH: You're the Obi-Wan for me says bride at Star Wars themed wedding
A Midlands businesswoman wowed guests at her wedding after a first dance with a difference – dressed as a Stormtrooper.
Kathryn Holloway, 31, a director of Bridgnorth firm Promofix, went undercover as she joined Britain's Got Talent finalists Boogie Storm.
Her new husband Philip Wood, 37, also got involved, dressed as Darth Vader.
The bride even spent time rehearsing with actress, singer and dancer Jennifer Ellison to make sure she was ready for the big day.
The video of the dance, which has been shared on Youtube and Facebook, has now been viewed more than 90,000 times.
The idea came about as the couple, who are currently enjoying their honeymoon touring Europe, were watching the last series of the talent show and jokingly suggesting it would be great to get the act involved in their big day.
"After the finals of Britain's Got Talent I decided to email them to see if they were available for the date of our wedding and if they would let us join in the dance so we could surprise our guests," she said.
"It was something Boogie Storm had never done before as they are all professional dancers.
"I had two rehearsal sessions with the Storm Troopers at Jennifer Ellison's Dance Academy – Jelli Studios in Liverpool.
"Jennifer was brilliant at helping me learn the routine, so then I would blend in with the professionals during the performance.
"It was really great to have her and the team involved as everyone was so lovely.
"I spent around four hours with the team learning the routine and also learning how to dance in the costume and practised at home. "
As the routine got underway, Kathryn said guests were convinced the groom and ushers were behind the masks but they couldn't have been more wrong at the big unveiling.
"When we removed the helmets everyone was so shocked and amazed," she said.
"They all started cheering, dancing with Boogie Storm and taking photos of us all.
"When we were about to start the dance everyone started speculating that the Stormtroopers were Phil and some of the ushers dressed up.
"Then when the routine started they realised it couldn't be them."
The wedding was held near Granada in Spain and guests and Storm Troopers were flown out for the celebration.
Kathryn said that as her other half was a big Star Wars fan, their big day was always going to have an element of the films involved.
"Along with the appearance from Boogie Storm we also had a groom's wedding cake which was in the shape of the Millennium Falcon, Yoda, Vader, stormtrooper and Wookie cupcakes for the children and also glowing light sabres for the guests to dance with," she said.
"Everyone really loved it as they weren't expecting it, especially with us being involved in the dance too. It is an amazing amount of people who have watched it on YouTube and lots of the comments are saying they would like to do something similar for their own first dance."
