SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Attention Wal-Mart shoppers, wedding in lawn and garden.

Employees Chet Eldridge and Danna Hornback tied the knot Thursday amid the retailer's flowers, shrubs and lawn chairs.

Eldridge, 51, an automotive manager, and Hornback, 45, an arts and crafts associate, met during the store's employee orientation.

She agreed to their first date in the furniture section. After the couple became engaged, a manager suggested they exchange vows at the store.

"We met here; he asked me out here. Why not?" Hornback said.

The only unexpected turn occurred when the familiar "Attention Wal-Mart shoppers" announcement over the public address system broke into the ceremony.

After the couple was pronounced husband and wife, the cheers could be heard in customer service on the other side of the store.

Springfield is about 65 kilometres west of Columbus.

Good one Mikey, LOL :lol:

Glad I gave you all such a disturbing visual. :rofl:

Kind of reminds me of the movie "Where The Heart Is" with Natalie Portman. It's where she gets left at a Walmart by her boyfriend and she's about 8 month pregnant. She ends up living in the Walmart until she has the baby. Definately a "chick flick" but I caught one time while flipping channels. Not a bad movie.

^ That movie was based on a book, if I'm not mistaken. Wal-Mart may not be the classiest chain in the world, but you can get DVD sets there for cheap (and good quality, too)! :cool:

I can relate to that story very well! Meeting my significant other (now husband) at Walmart, made us consider tying the knot on the sales floor in the aisle we first started talking. We even talked to the store manager about being best man and he agreed.
We ended up marrying at the Courthouse but the intention was there.

Kazza, I didn't know you considered that. That would have been kind of cool (except maybe for some of the customers!).

They would have loved the free cake. LOL

LOL! That's true.
