Weddings In Aisle Three

ILLINOIS STYLE: Wedding at the grocery store

Diane Roderick dreamed of walking down the aisle to marry her future husband, Tom Lane.

She just never dreamed the aisle would be in the restaurant dining area of one of Quincy’s biggest and busiest grocery stores.

Diane and Tom were married in June at the Hy-Vee at 36th and Broadway before about 75 family and friends in an intimate and humor-tinged ceremony. Tom is the assistance produce manager at the store, and it’s the place they first met about 14 months ago.

"Not really," said Diane, when asked if she thought she’d ever get married in a grocery store. "But I’m all for something different, so it didn’t really faze me."

"It turned out better than we could have ever envisioned," a beaming Tom said during the reception at his residence. "The floral department and the bakery department, everybody at the store did a great job."

Since this is the second marriage for both, they decided to keep the wedding small. Tom and Diane went on their first date on May 1, 2004, and became engaged on Feb. 12 of this year.

Store manager Lynn Gallagher suggested they get married in the store, partly because it would be a good media relations story, but mainly because he wanted the couple to have a meaningful and memorable ceremony.

"We wanted to make it what you would expect from a wedding, except that it was in a grocery store," Gallagher said. "I’ve been to probably about 50 weddings, and to be honest, you might remember the church, but they tend to all run together. This one, people will remember."

"Lynn was great," Diane said. "He thought it was very important that it be a religious and serious ceremony, and not a joke or a circus."

The wedding took place in the corner of the dining area. It was sectioned off by dividers to give the area privacy, though some diners perked up when they heard the trio music, and shoppers outside the store looked through the glass window during the ceremony.

Diane walked around the store after the wedding and got some amazed looks from shoppers.

"You got married? That’s so cute!" said one elderly woman shopper.

Diane and Tom admitted family and friends were a little taken aback when hearing about the grocery store wedding idea.

"I think the initial reaction was astonishment. ‘You are what? Where?’" Diane said.

Her son, 11-year-old Spencer, found the idea a little different.

"I thought they were lying when they told me," Spencer said. "I really didn’t think they’d get married in a grocery store. I thought they’d have to widen the aisles or something."

But Spencer warmed to the idea and he thought the ceremony was fine. He also had high praise for his mother and new stepfather.

"I just like them. They are cool people," Spencer said proudly.
