Hey, you don’t need to tell Wedinator HQ about the surge in retail weddings! We’ve seen plenty of ‘em! But as of today, these bad boys are officially a Trend. Take the couple pictured above: They “went to the local Home Depot for their Midsummer Night’s Dream wedding because they spent so much time there. The store put up a floral arbor using products off the shelves.”
How…romantic? Not that I understand the connection between Home Depot and Shakespeare, but hey, it’s what made them happy! And that’s what retail weddings are all about. Here are a few other places to look out for weddings as you shop and/or eat:
- T.J. Maxx
- Cold Stone Creamery
- Taco Bell
- Bass Pro Shops (OK, we added that one. You snooze, you lose, USA TODAY!)
Love and retail: A marriage do they make.

those horns just make her even hotter. lose the fairies in the front row, though
Really don’t know what’s going here…….
At first glance, I thought that was Britney Spears.
Wow, so rare that a woman is so obvious in her horniness. A+ for clarity and communication!
How does that line go, “Methought I was enamored of an ass!”
I am really, really confused.
A bride with horns, a bridegroom with a Brian May wig and a bush growing out of his head? I don’t understand . . .
My thoughts exactly.
All y’all ignored Waffle House – and they even put together wedding album videos:
Just. Dang.
and those weird flowers that she’s holding make it look like she has FRIGHTENING FINGERNAILS!
(and agreed on the Britney Spears doppelganger)
those would be feathers sticking out of her bouquet.
i do enjoy people getting married in…untraditional locales, but please don’t forget about the waffle house wedding! always classy, and…waffles!
It’s the officiant that baffles me. Man in a dress or bearded woman? The hair really throws me off. At least the bride and groom are readily recognizable as man and/or woman.
He’th jutht THUPER, thankth for athking.
I visited the Bass Professional Shop yesterday, and I think it would be a lovely place for a wedding, provided the minister stood at the checkout counter and the bride could walk down the aisle.

i have actually seen a wedding party in fancy traditional garb at the bass pro near my house. it was really weird!
That’s not a Home Despot, er, Depot. The Depot uses orange racking – this racking is beige. Dunno who uses beige racking.
That is the most pathetic way of getting married. It’s for people who make themselves look like cheap losers. If they knew how to really put on a wedding, it would be on a beach, mansion, fancy church. But on a retail store?! They just don’t know how to have a decent wedding.
I can almost see Cold Stone Creamery. I mean, how can you go wrong with ice cream?
I do not lie. My husband’s senior prom was in a Bass Pro Shop. I guess it’s the pride and joy of that small town. If no one has been married there, I’d be very, very surprised.

Really, why can’t these people just be normal?
Well, I understand that she doesn’t want to spend their lifes’s savings on a single day. So that’s probably the rationale: spending money to build a home rather than wasting it on a luxury party.
There you go, trying to think rationally.
