This wedding was a real gas.
A young Kentucky couple were flushed with excitement on their wedding day — because their nuptials were in the men’s bathroom of a gas station.
“I wanted something a little different,” new bride Tiana Abney, 23, told WXIX of her Valentine’s Day wedding to Logen Abney.
“Didn’t want to just get married in a typical chapel, or you know, go to the church. I wanted something fun to tell my kids. Something fun. A good experience.”
The bride didn’t look far — choosing the HOP Shops convenience store where she works in Verona, Ky., which is famous for its so-called “disco bathroom.”
The groom said he was just as pumped to have his wedding reception in the gas station, given that the men’s room has festive disco lights and music that can be activated with the push of a big red button.
“She was like, ‘the HOP Shop…’ and I was like, ‘That doesn’t seem too bad,’” Logen Abney recalled the conversation. “And she’s like, ‘the bathroom,’ and I’m like, ‘that’s kind of cool, too.”
It took the lovebirds just three weeks to plan their nuptials — and the convenience store generously offered to cover all their expenses, estimated to be between $700 and $800, reported TMZ.
The business even provided a wedding cake for the occasion.
On Valentine’s Day, Tiana, dressed in a dreamy white princess gown, and Logen, sporting a suit and tie paired with sneakers, made their way down the tiled aisle of the HOP Shops and exchanged their vows in the restroom front of their family, friends, coworkers and store customers.
Standing between two bathroom stalls, HOP Shops employee David Biery pronounced the couple husband and wife.
The restroom remained off-limits to customers for two hours to accommodate the wedding.
After sealing their marriage with a kiss, the multicolored disco lights came on and the newlyweds shared their first dance to Randy Travis’ “Forever and Ever, Amen.”
“I always heard it don’t matter where you get married at. It’s just the person you’re with,” Logen said.
