Ohio couple gets married under golden arches at McDonald’s

FAIRBORN, Ohio - Do you take this man -- and do you want fries with that?

An Ohio couple got married this week under the golden arches. They exchanged their vows at a McDonald’s near Dayton where they work together and met three years ago.

Trisha Lynn Esteppe says she and Tyree Henderson couldn’t imagine a more romantic spot to hold their wedding. So, Monday afternoon they walked down a white aisle laid on the restaurant’s floor. ...

Here's a legend when it comes to unconventional weddings:

The Marryin' Man of Sevierville [TN]

by Judy Woodward Bates

In the 200-year-old city of Sevierville, Tenn., (pop. 9,742) in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, stands the Sevier (pronounced severe) County Courthouse, its lawn adorned with a bronze sculpture of the community’s favorite daughter, Dolly Parton. Inside the courthouse, a young man is paying for a marriage license, his fiancée standing shyly behind him, eyes sparkling with the anticipation of a life together.

“What time does the feed store close?” the young man asks the clerk.

“Five o’clock,” she replies in a soft drawl. Checking her watch, she adds, “Y’all better hurry.”

A typical walk down the aisle usually involves a church and lots of friends and family watching from the pews, but couples who marry in Sevierville tend to do so at Temple’s Feed Store on West Bruce Street—amongst stacks of seeds, gardening implements, and farming supplies. And they consider it about as romantic as it gets.

People from around the globe take their vows of holy matrimony at the feed store, where owner Jimmie Temple has served as Sevier County’s justice of the peace since 1966.

“They call me a county commissioner these days, but I still have the power to marry folks,” a silver-haired Temple grins.

He shrugs off the popularity of his feed store as a marriage site. “I’m close to the courthouse, and I don’t charge anything. There are wedding chapels and the like all over these mountains, but they cost money. I don’t.”

And the feed store doesn’t detract a bit from the occasion’s solemnity. As a devout Christian and active church member, Temple makes certain that couples understand the sincerity and permanence of their commitments.

“Right here’s where I ask my couples to sit while I talk to them,” he says, indicating two padded office chairs facing his beige metal desk. “I always do a bit of counseling before I marry anybody.

“All the marryin’ takes place right here.” He points to a corner between a pair of louvered closet doors and his office doorway.

Back at his desktop, a small metal box identifies its purpose: “Donations to First Baptist Church.”

“I started accepting donations about three years ago—to help my church. Since then, these donations have paid for a new piano, a set of hand bells, and some other things.”

Temple isn’t sure just how many couples he’s married.

“I don’t reckon I’ve ever counted ‘em all up,” he ponders. “I’m guessing about 15,000. I did figure up 1999’s (weddings). That was 1,138. Some days I marry a lot of folks.”

Flipping through a well-worn journal, he points to Oct. 20, 2000. “See this day here? That was a Friday. 10:38 a.m., I married a couple from Kentucky. At 12:37 p.m., another one. 3:40 p.m., here’s a couple from Knoxville. 3:55 p.m., Toledo, Ohio. 4:55 p.m., Hillsville, Virginia. And 5:15 p.m., (The store closes at 5; he was backed up.) I married a couple from Logansville, Georgia.

“I don’t marry nearly as many locals as I do people from other places. I guess I’ve married folks from most everywhere,” Temple says. “Iran, Australia, Germany, England. I’ve got records of every one of ‘em.”
