Couple Gets Married at Best Buy on Black Friday
Does this mean they'll celebrate their anniversary every single Black Friday?
Bargain-hunting can get a little crazy. Waiting in line isn't just time consuming, it's can also be cold, boring and exhausting. Sometimes, the friends you make standing around outside the store can help make things a little more pleasant. And who knows, maybe you'll meet your future wife or husband. Having met online a few days earlier, Jennifer and Edward Burbo met up on Black Friday '07 to stand in line together.
This year, the two decided to save money on a big wedding and tied the knot while waiting in line at their local Best Buy. Jennifer and Edward Burbo stood in line outside Best Buy for two whole days to be sure they were first in line and on Black Friday, the couple had the big wedding they'd dreamed of as cameras filmed the two saying, "I do."
Shoppers in the line signed the guest book and Jennifer made sure she was wearing something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Aside from getting hitched, the Burbos were waiting to snag some deals on, 'gaming systems and cellular phones' for their four children.

how.... lame
When your greatest bond with someone is your shared shopping obsession, I guess that means you were meant for eachother. Hopefully they don't cheat on their spouse by watching QVC or discovering all those Black Friday deals are available on the web year-round.
I guess weddings were on sale too...
Next year they will be waiting in line on black friday at their divorce laywers' divorce and custody battle super sale.
Actually their Anniversary will only fall on Black Friday every 11 years.

and tied the night while
Hey Jane, I think you mean't, "tied the knot"??

Quite right. Fixed.
JERRY!! JERRY!! JERRY!!
"tied the night", really? They didn't tie the knot? I don't think anyone edits these articles. I'd bet that barely anybody who reads Tom's gives a crap about this.
Magic happy time? They better have known each other on the net for a loooooong time (not to mention talking on the phone and web camming) Otherwise that marriage wont last long.
Really, nobody caught that before posting this article?
COME ON! How lame. If you want a low key wedding, go to the city hall or some nice park but at BB? At least make it a sex shop or something exciting. Ugh.
I heard best buy has a good return policy
...oh, and i have to ask: did best buy make them buy a service plan on that wedding?
I'm sorry, but I cannot resist the temptation to prematurely judge someone who stands in line for two days to buy products that are probably (all told) not that far off retail, or are of limited stock. You're only going to grab one, maybe two items before all the good stuff is gone. Not to mention that if these discounts make such a large difference to you, perhaps you shouldn't have such expensive tastes. I give in even easier to judgment when they get married while doing this after "recently meeting online".
From the sound of it they already have kids...so I guess we're too late to do anything on that front.
LOSERS........could have done the same thing at Walmart. Lol
I do single-player almost exclusively. Only once in a (long) while I'll do two-player with a friend over my network; never online.
Idiocracy in action!
LOL white wedding on black Friday! I'm amazed they weren't wearing khakis and blue shirts...
Shopping is a poor basis for a relationship. Money is the #1 cause of divorce in the United States, these two will likely split in 6 months or less.
Still isn't as sad as the freak who married his video game recently.
Idiocracy
this has got to be the best new word i learnt in weeks , thanks !
That "freak" is rather happy. Besides, it's not a real wedding, as a minister isn't what makes a marriage official in Japan.

if this is lame , but that my friend was a truly retarded thing . u wanna find out more , read about japanese "men" , looks like in japan , its "in" to have a relationship with a game character ... *rofl* , but what i said is true , forgot where i saw this though .

oh gosh, my stomach's aching from the rather too long laugh i just had reading that . what weird sort of people came to the wedding ? the guy looks emotionally disturbed or something .
Oh come on people, have a good laugh. They met two years ago waiting on a line. Adding a bit of humor, they decided to get married on the same line after dating for two years. It isn't a shopping obsession (unless this is what they do every weekend), it is just a bit of fun.
I hope one day to meet someone who would be willing to do something that silly for a good laugh, especially years later.
"Does this mean they'll celebrate their anniversary every single Black Friday?"
Do you really need an answer?
He only did it so he wont forget his aniversary date.
Now the kids know what they are getting for Christmas. Hope they aren't Toms Hardware readers.
I thought I saw those two in another wedding ceremony in a grass field out in the countryside. She was wearing a robe, holding a staff and nerf balls and he was in plate armor with a two handed sword.
