Couple meets and marries at Wal-Mart

When widowed Wayne Brandenburg went shopping at a local Wal-Mart in North Carolina in 2005, the last thing on his mind was finding a wife.

Yet when he saw Susan working behind the counter as a cashier, he purposely got into her line so he could speak to her.

"I'd ask her how she was that day, and tell her she looked very nice," he tells CNN of the fateful day he met his second wife.

The couple, now in their 60s, had their first date at a Chinese buffet with her kids and his grandkids in attendance. After that, he would continue to visit the store and bring Susan lunch every day.

Susan had recently gone through a trying divorce, but she slowly started to warm up to him.

"He was very much a gentleman, and I looked forward to seeing him," she says of their little rendezvous.

About a year into dating, Wayne proposed, and Susan so shocked by his gesture, exclaimed "Don't you do that!" A few swear words snuck in there too.

She eventually warmed up to the idea and now claims meeting Wayne was the best thing to ever happen to her.

As for their wedding day, it took place in the isles of Wal-Mart. Wayne first suggested the location as a joke, but later the couple realized the store had a greater emotional significance than they wanted to admit, as was the place they first met.

"The kiss was the most special part," Susan says of the ceremony conducted by their local pastor.

Surrounded by a few family members, Wal-Mart staff, and even a few customers, the couple said "I do."

Think getting married in a store is unusual? It maybe more common than you realize.

This past Valentine's Day an Australian couple tied the knot at an Ikea store in Sydney citing their mutual love of the retailer as their reason.

"Our visits to Ikea over the years have actually brought the two of us closer!" exclaimed the bride at the time.
