That's pretty damned awesome.

I just see people who did what worked for them and hurt none. The world is hard enough, let people like silly things. I hope they're delighted!

Do they have good produce at Aldi? Because I was just thinking today that my local Stop & Shop may have the worst produce on earth.

Hey, good for them. They found some bliss in this world. It may be a non-traditional place, but who cares. You do you.

How DARE you imply that other peoples' idea of happiness is equal to my own? Especially when my idea of the perfect wedding is in a VERY Christian church, surrounded be equally conservative people who are also all straight, white, and share the same ideas on what creates true happiness? To deviate from this extremely narrow-minded idea is blasphemous!

/s if it wasn't obvious

My Aldi has consistently good produce. Certain things like strawberries and cucumbers seem to spoil quickly, but that seems to be true of other store's produce too. Lately I've found the overall quality of produce to be lacking across multiple grocery chains tho. I'm assuming supply chain issues.

The bigger issue with Aldi's produce is that you usually can't buy just one lemon or something because they're sold in bags. So you aren't getting to handpick and you might have to buy more than you will use. I've just started freezing my extra lemons and repackaging certain items into glass containers when I put groceries away.

Just so it’s clear as no one is mentioning it they won a contest, in which the reward was being able fo get married in an ALDI. Also they get free groceries for a year and some other random stuff for married people like household essentials.

I wish them good luck in their marriage , because you must have pretty low standards to like Aldi.

They spent their honeymoon browsing all the kick knacks in the middle aisle.

I'd like to think it means they get to walk in and take whatever they want for a year, like "Bitch I own this place... temporarily." But they're probably just given a giant coupon book for the essentials, or maybe a straight check/visa gift cards.

I totally get this! My partner and I have special places that probably sound totally mundane to most people, and a supermarket we frequent regularly might be one of them. Not sure I'd get married in one though, lol!

Edit: grammar

That's pretty sad imo, but at the end of the day it's their life not mine... They can do what they please, and if that's where they would like their special day to be, all power to them :)

It may sound silly but I love hearing unconventional weddings like this because you know the bride and groom did exactly what they wanted for their special day without family pressure.

I went to one super Catholic wedding once and the bride and groom looked miserable the whole time. Afterwards my partner joked, it felt like it was Jesus' special day and the couple was just invited. Point is have your dream wedding.

... Don't let family pressure you, do what you want.

As a professional choral singer, if I were to ever get married it would unfortunately have to be in a church because the reverb in Aldi is shocking, and pipe organs are very rare. Also, the other customers look at you weird if you start singing.
