Jedi Wedding Minister

Recently I was performing a wedding in a rural community here in Florida. When I arrived to the venue the guests were beginning to be seated and I went inside to speak with the groom and bride. As I often do, I carried my ministerial robe over my arm and only put it on when I was in the cool air conditioned climate of the venue. As I zipped the long robe up, a boy of about 4 or 5 years came up to me and motioned for me to bend down and speak with him. I did so and with the innocence that only a child of this age could possess he asked me, almost as if it were a top secret question, “Are you a Jedi?”
Thinking as fast as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs I whispered back to him, “Yes.” After my answer I got in line and filed out into the venue to perform a beautiful ceremony.
When the ceremony was over and the guests invited to enjoy some cool refreshments, I made my way to the back of the room. Again, my little friend was waiting on me with another question that would make me laugh out loud. Again, the little boy motioned for me to bend down and then he cupped his hands around my ear and asked “Do you have your light saber?”
And it all happened, down the aisles.
