Well, we have all been there haven't we? We just head to IKEA for a couple of essential household items and then you meet the love of your life in the frame section.
Except that doesn't happen to everybody, but it did happen to New Jersey couple Shirley and Berkely Smith.
The pair first met in the frame section of the huge department store in New Jersey eight years ago and they swore that if they got married, they would conduct the ceremony in the exact same spot where they met.
According to Digital Spy, the 46-year-olds first met when Shirley took her daughter shopping after she had been suspended from school.

Shirley told Good Morning America: "He was in there. I saw him right when he came in, and I checked his finger to make sure he wasn't married. I followed him for about an hour."
Shirley's daughter eventually approached Berkely and introduced the pair. When they decided to get married, they had to seek permission to have the ceremony in store.
IKEA agreed to let the ceremony happen, even giving the newly-weds some products as wedding presents.
Certainly passed the IKEA test.
