ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A Florida couple said they held their wedding at a place almost as dear to them as they are to each other -- a Ford Mustang dealership.

Mustang aficionados Vickie Sue Kilpatrick and Ronnie Cox said they met in 2007 at Family Worship Center in St. Augustine and quickly bonded over their mutual love of their favorite cars, The (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union reported Monday.

"We hadn't talked three minutes and we were talking Mustangs," said Kilpatrick said after Sunday's wedding at Bozard Ford Lincoln Mercury in St. Augustine. "We can spot a Mustang by a tail light in the dark."

Bozard general manager Letti Bozard said wedding planners were given free run to arrange the cars and other items inside the showroom Sunday, the day of the week the dealership is generally closed.

"If it moves, you can move it," Bozard said she told them.

The couple also received a special wedding gift from their favorite car dealer: "The Mustang Dynasty" coffee table book, complete with an inscription from Bill Ford Jr., executive chairman of the company.
