Ahhhh, Every Bride's Dream - The WalMart Wedding

*snif, brings a tear to one's eye*

<snip>

WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) -- A pair of National Guard soldiers were married among the plastic smiling snowmen, lighted reindeer and holiday poinsettias of the Wal-Mart store where they worked, met and fell in love.

Brett Hamilton and Erin Sapp were married last week after the bride-to-be received orders signaling a likely deployment to the Middle East.

"This wasn't what we would have wanted for them," said Sapp's mother, Sheila. "But I told them we'd support them any way we can."

Hamilton, who planned to ask Sapp to marry him this summer, moved up his plans after she received orders to report for training Dec. 1. Sapp said deployment to the Middle East is likely after training is completed.

Hamilton, who works in the Wal-Mart car care department, and Sapp, a floral department employee, are members of the National Guard's 224th Engineering Battalion.

I think I'd rather have a ring that someone got out of a Cracker Jack Box.

Do ALL weddings have to be big, drawn-out affairs?

not be tacky.

WalMart wedding is tacky, plain and simple.

But, if they're happy, what the hell.

Ironic to consider that they're gonna go fight and risk their lives in order that they can continue to be oppressed and forced to work in shitholes like WalMart, but that's their choice, I guess.

The ceremony was performed by Store Manager Floyd Ledbetter, who is also an ordained minister in the Church of the Fundamental Creationists.

The reception was held immediately following the nuptials in the store's McDonald's Restaurant Section. Chicken McNuggets, Regular Fries, Mountain Dew, and Coca-Cola were served. For the convenience of revelers, Wal-Mart agreed to deduct the cost of comestibles directly from participants bi-weekly pay checks.

The lovely couple will honeymoon for a few hours prior to Mrs. Hamilton's (nee Sapp) deployment at the adjoining Motel 6.

Jesus that store has EVERYTHING.

I wonder if Rummy should wait for the price to fall fall fall.

ANY of the wedding party nor its guests were trampled during the ceremony

:bounce:

I wonder if the old guy at the front door gave her away...oh what am I saying nothing is ever given away at a Wal-Mart.

Too bad they didn't work and meet at K-Mart. They could have traded nuptials under the flashing blue light.

And I know cheeseballs.

At the end of "Where the Heart Is", Natalie Portman marries....'the guy' in the Wal-mart where he jumped through the window to help her deliver her baby. Actually not as ridiculous as it sounds.
