Star Wars creator George Lucas and his new wife Mellody Hobson have shared a romantic picture of their wedding day.
The 69-year-old director and producer tied the knot with the 44-year-old on Saturday at the Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California, in front of 200 guests including Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Glenn Close, Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart, Quincy Jones and his daughter Rashida.
The bride wore a white dress by Peter Soronen and carried brightly coloured roses as her 'something blue.
Lucas and Hobson became engaged back in January and have been dating since meeting at a business conference back in 2006.
Hobson heads the investment management firm Ariel Investments and is also chairman of the board at Dream Works Animation SKG Inc. It is her first marriage.
The Star Wars supremo was previously married to film editor Marcia Lucas from 1969 until their divorce in 1983. He has three adopted children.
The couple discussed their relationship during a joint interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.
'I think it works because we are extraordinarily open-minded people and we're open to what the universe brings us,' Hobson told the talk show host. 'I think we didn't have preconceived ideas about what a partnership should be and so we allowed ourselves to discover something that was unexpected.'
Lucas will have plenty of time to spend with his new wife. He sold his Lucasfilm production company to Disney last October for $4.05 billion - most of which he donated to educational philanthropy.
