On this most pleasant morning, one of our fabulous and dashing heroes just happens to be awake. Mind you, not completely wide awake, but close enough to count. He really needed caffeine to be nice and chipper. (Not to mention bouncing off the walls.)
You most likely think this person would be Obi-Wan, but for once you would be wrong. Because he's sacked out on the couch, dead to the world. In his defense, Anakin did drug him. It was just a small sedative! Only enough to keep him out for about twenty-four hours.
The reason for these terrible and dastardly actions was that a wedding was to take place later that morning. Needless to say, Obi-Wan had no idea about it. This wedding just happened to involve a certain Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, who you possibly may have heard of at some point in time. C3PO had the honor (and the worry) of presiding over it. And, as any good galaxy member should know, Jedi are not commonly married. As a matter of fact, it is against the Jedi Code for any Jedi to get married, which explains the early hour and the sleeping pills. Kind of. If you think it through hard enough.
So, this is an overview of how this (quite unusual) situation came to be.
As you can tell from Anakin's early awakening, this was very important, at least to him. Mace Windu didn't care about it of course, unless he found out about it. That would be bad. Here's hoping he doesn't. Of course, me being the creator, it probably will happen. (hint hint- foreshadowing.)
Anyways, back to the story, if you can call it that. This wedding was supposed to take place around six in the morning. At least that's when Anakin thought it was supposed to be. Luckily, Padme was much better at keeping track of time. She was ready for the wedding at the actual time, which was 4:00 AM. She arrived at the Temple with Threepio in tow to collect Anakin at 3:45 so they could get to the church by four o'clock.
Unfortunately, she made the mistake of letting Anakin drive. In an open-top speeder. He not only had no idea what side of the planet they were supposed to be on, not to mention the actual church, so by the time they got there Threepio was seriously regretting not shutting down for the trip, and Padme's hair looked like she'd ratted it out on purpose. Anakin had the gift of always having perfect hair, no matter what he was doing, so no worries there- at least one thing was alright.
When they finally arrived at the church, on top of being late, the Senator from Chandrila just happened to be using the church to get married at four in the morning. Some people are just plain crazy, whereas others like Anakin are just slightly insane. Which may be argued by such people as Obi-Wan and Mace.
To say they were surprised by this is an understatement. Whoever would thought Mon Mothma would get married- especially to that individual? Grudgingly, they moved their wedding back to 11:36PM Bakura time, which was 7:36AM Coruscant time . Padme made Anakin repeat the time three times to make absolutely certain he wouldn't forget (yeah right) and retired to her quarters so Threepio could worry over her hair.
