Well, bowl me over with a turkey feather.

A South Georgia couple decided to make their love official by marrying not only on Thanksgiving Day but also at the grocery store where they reconnected.
Four years ago, Charles Larry Tinson reportedly ran into the Harveyβs Supermarket to pick up some cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. As he searched the aisles, he ran into Mary, someone he had not seen in years.
βI heard someone say, βHey, girl,β and I turned around and said, βOh, my God; Larry? I havenβt seen you in over 20-something years,ββ Mary Tinson recalls. Apparently Charles had his eye on Mary for some time. βYou can often tell when a man has a crush on you,β said the new Mrs. Tinson.
When he popped the question, Larry knew exactly where he wanted to make his vows.
βShe asked me where are we going to get married, and I said at Harveyβs, where I met you,β said Larry.
The Albany, Ga.-based supermarket assisted Mary and Larry with the planning and helped with the live music and the wedding cake.
And what do you think theΒ 70 guests received as wedding favors? You guessed it: a can of cranberry sauce to mark the special day.
