LAKE FOREST, Calif., June 14 (UPI) -- A pair of California Home Depot workers have taken their love for their jobs and each another one step further with a wedding in the store's garden section.

Carolyn Weatherly, 56, and Audwin Mosby, 55, were married Saturday in Aisle 1 of the Lake Forest Home Depot, surrounded by about 100 guests -- and a few dozen shoppers, The Orange County (Calif.) Register reported Monday.

Weatherly said her co-workers, whom she described as a second family, came up with the idea for the in-store ceremony. A wedding arbor and stage were created from the store's lumber and other supplies.

"I feel awesome," Mosby said. "This is the best thing that has happened to me in a long, long time."

Mike Astorino, Home Depot's regional district manager, gave the OK for the in-store wedding. He said it was the first in a California Home Depot and only the second nationwide after an Alaska ceremony.
