When Adam Paoletic popped the question he picked his bride-to-be's favourite spot — a Tim Hortons coffee shop.
Thursday, the two took their love for each other — and for the chain's brew — to a new level, swapping marriage vows at a Tim's in Winnipeg.
To outsiders the union may seem strange, but Paoletic says everything about the coffee-and-doughnut outlet made it easy to start their lives together.
He even dropped off a letter at the northeast Winnipeg location's drive-through requesting to use the store as their wedding venue.
"They called me back the very next day, and they were good with the idea, so they've been great," Paoletic said.
Paoletic, 30, wore a smart dark suit while bride Jennifer Smith, 23, was cloaked in a formal white dress and veil. Several dozen wedding guests and customers feasted on doughnuts and sipped coffee as the two exchanged "I dos."
"We go there all the time — that's where I proposed to her and, yeah, we just wanted some family and friends. And we didn't think it would, you know, be really covered by the media."
A Winnipeg newspaper put a photo of the smiling couple — holding Tim Hortons' mugs — on the front page. Reportedly, their wedding car was ready to roll with paper cups trailing behind instead of tin cans.
