An English couple came up with the romantic idea of returning to the spot they first met—taking wedding photos in the snack aisle of their local supermarket

20-year-old Jessica met Jaxom Weston-Brown in 2017 at a Waitrose store in East Sussex. She had just started her job there as a store assistant and was asked to train Jaxom on how to put bags of chips on the shelf.

Loved blossomed, and seven years later the lovebirds returned to the Waitrose to take photos—and buy an extra special bag of chips.

“It started as a joke a few years ago,” recalled Jessica. “One of our friends posted in our group chat an Instagram reel of someone who had gone back to the place they met on their wedding day.

“All my friends are in couples that met on a dating app and said they would never be able to do this kind of thing. Then me and Jax were like ‘oh my gosh’ we could go back to the crisp aisle of Waitrose.

“It just became a bit of a joke that we were going to do it on our wedding day—and then, as the day approached, we were like, ‘let’s actually do it’.”

After the photos, the newlyweds suddenly realized they should buy a bag. They chose black peppercorn Kettle chips, saying “it had to be something classy” for their wedding day.

“We haven’t eaten them yet. We’re saving them for our first anniversary, said the 27-year-old bride.

Their former colleagues in the Eastbourne store also presented the couple with a bouquet of red roses.

Jessica recalled, “We were walking down in our wedding attire, and there were just random people shopping and taking stuff off the shelves, which was quite funny.”

Jessica revealed that, when they first met, she didn’t want to get involved with a work colleague, but then a group from work went to a Halloween party.

“Me and Jack got talking there and chatted the whole night and then we exchanged numbers and it went from there.

They got married at St. Andrews church in Jevington and on the way to the reception they stopped at the Waitrose where shoppers were delighted and snapped photos of the bride and groom.

“It was really nice to go back there where we met. It was really sweet.”

In a post on Facebook after their visit, Waitrose passed along ‘huge congratulations to the happy couple’.

Jessica now works as a history teacher and Jaxom as a supply chain manager and ‘marriage life is good’.

But they’re ‘still waiting’ to be offered a late wedding gift—a lifetime supply of chips.
