Dear god, another Wal-Mart wedding. This one seems particularly corporate, as much of the store's merchandise was either purchased for or used in the ceremony...and the reception was in the employee lounge. :-o Michael Rockland, Rutgers professor and all-around New Jersey expert, once said he expected that eventually his students would list "Menlo Park Mall" as their home address, since there are so many residential-commercial developments going up all over the state and it will soon be possible to never leave the six square blocks around your dwelling for work, school, shopping, and entertainment. If people are wedding at Wal-Mart (i.e. at work, and where they spend plenty of free time too, apparently), how long before they're literally living there?
