Our blockbuster wedding was a blast and a half

Like a scene from The Matrix, ‘groomzilla' Joe Stack punches the ground – sending his best man and ushers flying.

The unsuspecting guests also faced a Darth Vader-style chokehold and were forced to relive the American Revolution.

But while it may appear the bridegroom has gone over to the dark side, the wedding pictures are in reality a treat for Mr Stack and his wife Meredith, who are both film and video-game fanatics.

Wedding photographer Shane Elliot spent 20 hours editing the pictures in Photoshop, including adding details of real rock and gravel to the ‘superpunch'.

He also added surprises – a shark looms in the right hand coer of the George Washington picture and a stormtrooper in the Star Wars picture smokes a cigarette.

Mr Stack said: ‘We had a blast. Shane was rolling with our goofy antics, so it was easy. We had no idea Shane was going to 'touch up” the photos, it was such a great surprise.'

Mr Elliot, based in Louisville, Kentucky, said: ‘They were all in a great mood all day. They were a pretty tight group and shared a lot of private jokes and movie references to movies they'd all seen. The expressions in the ‘Force choke' pic are priceless.'
