It’s that time of year: wedding season. For a lot of the continental U.S., spring and summer brings to fruit a flurry of wedding invites — and Andor’s first batch of episodes is no exception, with everyone getting to watch Mon Mothma’s teenage daughter get married in a traditional (and quite decadent) Chandrilan ceremony.
