Love blooms in Wal-Mart aisle Sat Oct 6, 3:17 PM ET


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 40 miles west of Columbus.

Talk about a match made in hell. Even as a Walmart employee myself, I just couldn't imagine holy matrimony becoming so incredibly tainted like this until now.

They probably made them wear their Walmart smocks.

It seems rather awkward doing something so sacred in a place full of cloths made in sweatshops.

Oh my, that is so stupid. It's almost tragic. Marriage?

Really that is the most trashy, redneck, American thing I have ever heard of. Maybe they just wanted to cut down the cost of the wedding but it could be an example of how consumerism is completely ingrained into Western culture.

Having lived around Dayton/Springfield for a bit, I can say I'm not really surprised, haha.

i heard that some girl out in the midwest area (like right above the south) did buy a wedding dress out there. you ever been to a Walmart around Ohio or a similar area? theyre enourmous. and the more redneck the area the bigger.
