"A Swedish couple who are huge fans of the Star Trek franchise have married in the UK&amp;#039;s first &amp;#039;Klingon&amp;#039; wedding. Jossie and Sonnie Gustavsson exchanged vows - in English and Klingon - last night (October 19) in front of fellow fans and press at a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Trek the Next Generation in London.  According to the Daily Mail, the pair were one of a number of couples who volunteered to take part in a Klingon wedding. The event - organised by Superb Events Ltd and held at London&amp;#039;s ExCel - was faithful to ceremonies carried out on the TV series, with traditional Klingon drums replacing the wedding march, a 3m statue of the Klingon god overlooking the witnesses and giant flames surrounding the couple. The pair donned ceremonial red robes, wigs and face paint before they exchanged vows and staged a mock battle against each other to represent &amp;quot;the struggle of the male and female Klingon hearts&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Nobody can oppose the beating of two Klingon hearts,&amp;quot; said celebrant Peter Wyllie as he &amp;quot;blessed&amp;quot; the couple.  &amp;quot;May the rest of your life be filled with your hearts beating as one.&amp;quot;  The audience then joined in a chorus of chants blessing &amp;#039;yln&amp;#039; [life], &amp;#039;bathlh&amp;#039; [honour] and &amp;#039;qapla&amp;#039; [success] upon the newlyweds. The Gustavssons even carried the Star Trek theme through to their three-tiered wedding cake - specially created over three days by London cake designer Charlotte White - which took the shape of a Borg Cube spacecraft. &amp;quot;When I was a little girl, I dreamed of a wedding in a big church, with a white dress and a beautiful cake, just like every other girl,&amp;quot; 22-year-old Jossie told The Independent. &amp;quot;It was [Sonnie&amp;#039;s] idea,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;I looked at him. I said &amp;#039;Are you nuts?&amp;#039; Then I thought, &amp;#039;You know, why not? It is something we will remember for the rest of our lives.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
