According to the outlet, Schein was first intrigued by Parris’ OkCupid profile, which mentioned that one of his favorite date spots was Costco – a love she also shared. Meeting up at their local superstore and immediately hitting it off, the couple have been together ever since and the rest is history.
“I remember the way we meandered up and down the aisles and how I completely forgot to get most of the things I had on my list because I couldn’t take my eyes off of you,” the groom recalled in his vows.

Looking back, the bride says that the wedding day “was perfect from start to finish,” thanks to the help of the generous Costco staffers. The newlyweds were even presented with a cake, bottle of champagne, and personalized Costco name tags at their nuptials, according to the outlet.
“[The Costco employees] went above and beyond to create an incredibly beautiful wedding area inside the store,” Schein said. “They set up chairs for our family and friends and decorated the whole area with rose petals. They were all so invested in our love story.”
They're not the only ones to celebrate their big day at the superstore – in September 2017, an Australian couple made headlines for saying "I do" at a Costco Down Under.
