Themed weddings are nothing new. "Star Wars" is a popular theme. Sports themes are another favorite (provided you're marrying another fan).

Alexi Hoeft and Alexander Hart of Washington, D.C., personalized their wedding day in a different way, and instead looked for ways to incorporate the bride's favorite mode of transportation — a Tesla.

"I'm not going to lie: I did consider seriously having my wedding at a Tesla showroom and looked into different options," Hoeft said.

Although Hoeft's dream venue didn't work out, Tesla played a part in the couple's big day. Hoeft's father used his Model X — complete with falcon wing doors — to transport the wedding party. There was a Tesla roadster cake topper and the brand even made appearances in the vows the couple separately wrote for each other.

"I just was so excited about what Tesla's doing ... any way I can reflect the positive impact that Tesla's had on me I think is just a reflection of my character, my current state of my life, and what I'm interested in and what I feel passionate about," Hoeft, 30, said.

Hart, 29, considers himself more of a "public transportation nerd than a car guy" but said the brand fits Hoeft's interest in cars and passion about the environment and reducing pollution. Two of Hart's favorite things about Hoeft are her enthusiasm and positive energy – "both of which are on display any time she's talking about Tesla things!"

"Part of my vows referred to Alexi's 'incredible passion and curiosity' about the world around her, and the way she follows Tesla developments was one the best examples I could think of," Hart said.

"I was actually surprised that we both had [Tesla] in our vows," Hoeft said. "But just the fact that he was willing to consider a company and think about it a lot and talk about it on a near-daily basis with me really reflected his love for me, because he had literally zero interest in the automobile industry when we met and he was just open and willing to learn about it."

Does the married couple have a Tesla to call their very own? Almost. The couple is currently on the waitlist for a Model 3 — thanks to Hoeft waiting in line to place a deposit on the car, the day reservations were released — and are awaiting their configuration date.

As for that eye-catching cake topper, there's another sweet story behind it: The couple's wedding took place just 10 days after SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launch in February, and Hoeft said she was hoping to include that somehow in the wedding. The couple often livestreams SpaceX launches together when they can. A Tesla roadster Christmas ornament Hart gifted to his fiancée filled that need, becoming the topper for the wedding cake.

"I was really excited to make that Star Man replica for the cake topper," Hoeft said. "I put in two little tiny white Play-Doh people into the seats to be us as a couple, shooting off into the future and limitless possibilities."
