BEND, Ore. (AP) -- Every couple getting married dreams of the perfect flowers, cake, and -- books?

Yes, in this case, books, books, and more books.

Brandi and David Brown, of Bend, decided to be the first to walk down the aisle at a local bookstore.

Brandi and David Brown at their Barnes and Noble ceremony

Brandi said with a smile, they had their first date there -- at the Bend Barnes and Noble saying "it was magic."

From then on, they made a ritual of going to Barnes and Nobles every Monday together. They love to read with their five kids, from previous marriages.

One year after their first date, they were pronounced husband and wife in the children's area at Barnes and Noble, with all the traditional accompaniment.

From now on, there will always be a book to read, a coffee in hand, and a table waiting for the Brown family of seven.
