Results: Big Box Weddings…a growing trend?
A couple recently got married at the Ikea store that they met each other at years earlier. Despite the occasion, the store was not closed for the wedding, as customers were shopping around the store while the couple was getting married. To honor the couple, Ikea provided the newlywed with a suitcase from the store that contained bathrobes, slippers, an ice bucket, and a bottle of sparkling cider. Interestingly, they are not the first couple to get married at Ikea, as an Australian couple got married at an Ikea store, claiming that it “bought them closer together.” Other couples have followed similar paths and have said their vows inside of a Starbucks as well as at a Walmart store.

No, I do not think that this will become a trend. It seems like something that only a small group of people would be interested in doing.
