Not even a galaxy far, far away is ready for this adorable "Star Wars" family.

While attending Salt Lake City's Comic Con FanXperience event last weekend, Victor Sine and his fiancée, Julianne Payne, channeled their inner Finn and Rey from "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens." The engaged cosplaying (short for "costume play") couple even brought their very own Baby-8 BB-8, 11-month-old Addie.






Sine told The Huffington Post that the couple spent months preparing and cutting fabrics for their costumes and having them altered to be just right. Payne didn't give hers a full test run until she was getting ready for the first day of the event, but as she said, the ensemble simply "fell together." 

The couple's collective love for the "Star Wars" franchise started after they watched all of the films leading up to "The Force Awakens" within a week. Sine grew up watching them, but Payne hadn't seen any of them. They decided before they had even watched the newest movie that they wanted to cosplay as Rey and Finn, and seeing the latest movie confirmed their idea.

"When Rey and Finn came on the screen, my jaw was on the floor," Payne said. "It was love at first sight."






It was love at first sight for other Comic Con FanXperience attendees, too. Sine and Payne told HuffPost that they were flooded with photo requests from fellow "Star Wars" fans.

Coming up for the cosplaying couple? Aside from perfecting their costumes for their next event, they're got a wedding to plan.

Finn and Rey, they're just like us.
