Celebration V

Burton's "marriage" to R2-D2 at Celebration V earned considerable attention and was featured in a video on the Official Site. In a ceremony at the Celebration Chapel, Darth Maul presided, Darth Vader was R2-D2's best man, model and Star Wars fan Adrienne Curry was a bridesmaid, and Lucasfilm's Stephen J. Sansweet gave Burton away. The two have an "open-source" marriage, and according to Burton, "Exchanging restraining bolts is much more romantic than exchanging rings." Burton also wrote about the history of her relationship with the astromech droid on The Official Star Wars Blog.
