White wedding while in line for Black Friday

Posted: Updated:

(NBC) - On Black Friday, most people wait in lines for hours to take advantage of huge savings. One Michigan couple did something even more important while standing in line.

"Everybody said you are getting married at Best Buy, in line? For real?" groom Edward Burbo said. "'Yup that fits you.'"

The newly betrothed Jennifer and Edward Burbo are big bargain hunters. They wanted a big wedding, but couldn't afford it.

"We are saving money standing in line for Black Friday, and we're not really spending much on the wedding," Jennifer said.

The Burbo's need gifts for their blended family. They have four kids between age 8 and 13, so they can't afford to pay full price.

"So we said, 'We are here looking for deals on Black Friday. Let's have a wedding doing the same thing,'" Edward explained.

The couple met online in November 2007. Days later, they waited in line together for their first Black Friday.

The Burbo's planned the ceremony two weeks ago. For two days they camped out just to be first in line.

Jennifer insisted on keep some traditions alive, though. Along with her winter white dress, she wore something borrowed, blue, old and new.

The couple says they fell for each other while trying to save a few dollars; now they say the best things in life are free.
