    Wedding at 7:11 on 7/11 at 7-Eleven

    FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A former manager and employee of a convenience store returned to the place they met for their wedding — the 7-Eleven at 7:11 a.m. on July 11.

    ``I figured if I got married at 7:11 on 7/11 in 7-Eleven, it'd be hard to forget my anniversary,'' groom Randy Kimball said.

    Kimball met his bride, Sharon Stehli, at the store when she applied for a job two years ago.

    ``We met here so we didn't consider getting married any other place,'' Stehli said.

    The brief ceremony was performed Thursday by Dee Blazina, a notary who is an assistant manager at another 7-Eleven store.

    The couple also hauled in a pile of sand for their altar — the concrete slab between the convenience store and the parking lot — to give their wedding a tropical theme.

    The groom wore dark sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt and shorts. The bride donned a Hawaiian print sarong dress. Both wore shark tooth necklaces.

    After the ceremony, the newlyweds sipped coffee from a foam 7-Eleven cup.

    I wonder if they also ate some of those ageless hotdogs that have been spinning on that warmer for the past few years.

    Apu: Now, these hot dogs have been here for three years. They are strictly ornamental. There is only one bozo who comes in and buys them.

    Was there by any chance a banjo player at that wedding? If I had gotten married in a 7-11 I think my family would have killed me!!!

    It has been a LONG time since I've seen a 7-11 in Houston. I've seen them in Fort Worth, but not H-town.

    Stop-n-Go bought out most if not all of the 7-11s in Houston in the late 80's. After living in St. Louis and Chicago I remembered how much better 7-11's are over other convience stores. Pizza and 7-11's are about the only thing Chicago has over Houston in my book.
