Couple who met in supermarket marry amid veggies in Aisle 13

LOWER BURRELL, Pa. (AP) — Attention all shoppers: wedding in Aisle 13.

A couple who met at a supermarket have tied the knot there with canned carrots and peas among their wedding guests.

The Valley News Dispatch reported 69-year-old Larry Spiering and 61-year-old Becky Smith married Sunday at the Community Supermarket in Lower Burrell, where they met 10 years ago.

Smith said she was working at the supermarket when Spiering walked up and gave her a piece of paper with his name and phone number on it. She said it was only fitting that they married in the aisle where they met.

"It seemed to fit," she said.

"It was truly just a joke at first."

The couple said they picked April 1, which was Easter Sunday, because it was close to two other important dates: Spiering celebrates his birthday on April 2, Smith on April 3.

So after Smith had finished her morning shift, the pair got hitched in front of around 30 guests.

These included several of Smith's customers who had become friends with her after years of chatting at the checkout.

One of these customers sang 'We've Only Just begun', by The Carpenters, as they walked down the (literal) aisle together. The small crowd cheered.
