LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Lightbulbs, grills and washing machines aren't your usual wedding surroundings -- unless you're tying the knot at Home Depot.
That's exactly what 56-year-old Carolyn Weatherly and 55-year-old Audwin Mosby did on Saturday.
They walked down the main aisle at the Home Depot store in Lake Forest and on to the outdoor garden section, where a wedding arbor and stage had been built from the store's lumber and supplies.
More than 100 guests gathered to witness the union, including several surprised shoppers.
"I can't believe there's a wedding in the Home Depot," shopper Linda Brown told the OC Register. "I'm not dressed for it! We walked in here past the minister and I thought 'Oh my God, should I be in here.'"
"I just love it," said another shopper. "It's a very nice surprise. The men look wonderful in their white tuxedos."
Carolyn says the store is like a second home since she and her groom work there as well as her son and his daughter. The couple's colleagues suggested the store as their wedding location.
It's believed the couple is the first in California to be married at the home improvement store.
