Unusual Wedding Venue: Getting married at a Supermarket

Growing up, I’ve always wanted to try out the check out girl gig at the Supermarket. I thought it’d be lots of fun checking out other people’s groceries. Never for once did I think that it’ll be a great venue for a wedding though! But a couple in the UK thought it a great idea!

Most people going to their local supermarket leave with a trolley full of groceries. However, tomorrow, one Dundee couple will be leaving with a lifetime commitment.

Kenny Sutherland and Jane Clark are getting married at Sainsbury’s in Baldovie Road, where they both work.

The couple will take their vows surrounded by family and friends while customers fill their trolleys and staff continue to work away.

To show their support, colleagues at the store have put up posters congratulating the couple on the happy occasion.

Jane (42) will begin her bridal march through the seasonal goods aisle to Mika’s “Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)”, with the ceremony taking place in front of the flower stand at the store’s main entrance.

Checkout girl Jane first met Kenny three years ago after she spotted him replenishing shelves in the store’s kiosk — and it was love at first sight.

Despite the unusual wedding venue, the bride said she is looking forward to her big day, adding, “I’m not nervous at all.

“I’m just looking forward to it as all my family and friends are going to be there.

“There will be a lot of customers there, too, and a lot of those customers have become friends. I even got a bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne handed in from one customer while on the checkout.”

A spokeswoman from Sainsbury’s added, “We are thrilled to be supportive of our colleagues and wish them all the best.”
