The guests dined on samples inside paper cups, while the bride wore Kirkland.

On Thursday morning, the Mission Valley Costco in San Diego doubled as a wedding chapel when Margot Schein and Julian Parris got married by the cash registers. They had their first date there exactly three years ago, Schein said, after meeting online. Parris mentioned his love for the store in his bio, which made Schein pay attention. "We have so much in common, but Costco is the first thing," she told NBC 7 San Diego.

The ceremony was attended by friends, family, and Costco employees, who gave the happy couple a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Schein and Parris also received Costco name tags, and once the ceremony was over and the sheet cake fresh from the bakery had been cut, they walked up and down the aisles, recreating their first date.
