A Maxxinista Wedding in Mount Pleasant

Knot Jaimie — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:25:00 GMT

On July 24th in Mount Pleasant, Lisa Satayut will walk down the aisle. The shoe aisle, that is. Lisa and her fiancé, Drew Ellis, are getting married at T.J. Maxx, Lisa's favorite store and "happy place." Talk about a unique wedding venue! When the store agreed to host her wedding after Lisa took a chance and asked, she was thrilled. Now all she has to do is stay focused on Drew while walking down the aisle, and not all the pretty merchandise. —Casey Lieberman
