Lloyd Forsythe, 41, and east-Houma (Louisiana) Wal-Mart employee Mary Halford, 47, are now planning their honeymoon following a packed wedding ceremony Saturday in the garden center of the Grand Caillou Road superstore, the place where they met and became engaged.
Wal-Mart supervisors, managers and sales staff filled the back area of the garden center, and green-smocked garden workers peeked through hanging plants to watch the ceremony. An aisle fashioned from a line of potted plants led to a small gazebo.
The 200 to 300 guests, who sat in the store’s patio furniture, included friends and family of the bride and groom, as well as several Wal-Mart workers.
"It was real nice," said Amey Calloway, sales associate. "She was a beautiful bride. … It went well," she said. "I’m glad she did it at Wal-Mart."
"I loved it," said Lloyd. "I appreciate Wal-Mart letting me have it here."
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds made their way through the store’s aisles to the employee lounge, where they cut the cake.
