Wedding of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala

22 years before the Battle of Yavin and shortly after the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala were married in a secret wedding on Amidala’s homeplanet Naboo. The marriage was witnessed by their droid friends C-3PO and R2-D2 and known only to the four of them because of Amidala’s place as an important Senator in the Galactic Republic and Skywalker’s membership in the Jedi Order and newly formed Grand Army of the Republic, the Jedi Code kept Jedi from forming attachments like marriage. Skywalker’s marriage to Amidala ultimately led to his fall to the Dark Side of the Force, as Darth Sidious - the Dark Lord of the Sith who orchestrated the Clone War to build his new Empire and enslave the galaxy as his own kingdom - seduced him to the Dark Side with the promise of finding the power to save Amidala from death even though Sidious killed her since he knew she planned to build a rebellion with her colleagues in the Senate. However, it also led to the birth of Amidala and Skywalker’s twin children Luke Skywalker and Leia Amidala Skywalker who served in the Alliance to Restore the Republic to help bring an end to Darth Sidious’ reign of terror and save Skywalker from his evil path.
