Couple ties knot in shoe aisle

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — There were no cold feet for a Michigan couple who got married in the shoe aisle of a central Michigan department store.

Drew Ellis and Lisa Satayut exchanged vows recently at the TJ Maxx in Mt. Pleasant.

A widened aisle, vine covered arch and white chairs with red bows highlighted the traditional ceremony that included string music, display-dodging cameramen — and curious shoppers who stopped bargain hunting long enough to watch.

Satayut dreamed of marrying Ellis, a sports writer, in the store's size 8 shoe aisle.
