In the year 2 BBY, Chewbacca, a Wookiee, and Mallatobuck celebrated their wedding. The pair had been sweethearts for many years, but Chewbacca was often away from Kashyyyk, the Wookiee homeworld, as he was repaying a life debt to Han Solo, a Corellian smuggler, for extensive periods of time. Mallatobuck rejected numerous marriage proposals during this time, waiting for her beloved. During a visit to Kashyyyk by Chewbacca and Solo in 2 BBY, Chewbacca and Mallatobuck spent many hours walking together in the forest. Chewbacca then hunted and caught a quillarat in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk, which he gave to Mallatobuck; her acceptance of this gift symbolized their upcoming union.
The wedding happened the following day on a branch of a wroshyr tree just outside of Rwookrrorro. There was no officiant; the Wookiees married each other, as per their traditions. Mallatobuck was adorned with a sheer, silvery-gray veil, and Solo stood beside Chewbacca as his "best Human," a gesture acknowledging Human customs. Numerous other Wookiees were in attendance as the couple exchanged their vows. The celebration then moved to a reception where a large amount of food was provided, and Wookiees danced, sang songs, and played wooden instruments late into the night. Later that night, Chewbacca and Mallatobuck finalized their marriage and conceived a child. Chewbacca departed with Solo the next day, continuing to fulfill his life debt.
