Couple gets married at Bass Pro Shops in Tennessee, next to big tank of trophy fish

[Kansas City Star] A couple in Tennessee got married Friday at Bass Pro Shops, romantically exchanging their vows near an aquarium stocked with trophy fish.

It was a small affair, with the bride, Pam, "glowing" in a white lace gown with flowing train and the groom, Lonnie Harris, in blue jeans, shirt casually untucked and a boutonniere.

"Here at Bass Pro, we will sell you a boat, a gun, even some clothes. Shoot, you might as well even get married here!!" the store posted Friday on Facebook.

It shared photos of the ceremony, showing the procession came through the Fishing Center, as customers lingered and watched.

Why the couple, who live in Tennessee, chose to marry at a Bass Pro Shops in Kodak, Tennessee, was not explained. However, the store is just west of the Great Smoky Mountains and tourist towns in the region pride themselves on being a wedding and "adventure elopement" destination.

#1 Hunting, fishing, camping, boating, shooting needs at this location. Now weddings? Within a mile or so is the Smokey Mountain Knife Works (also a gun store). Next door to the knife works is Bud's Gun Shop and Range. Nearby is the Smokies minor league stadium if you like baseball. Makes for a fun day.
