A couple have tied the knot after meeting in the crisp aisle of the supermarket where they worked. Jessica, 27, and Jaxom Weston-Brown, 28, met at their local branch in Eastbourne in 2017. Jessica, then 20, had just started as a store assistant and was asked to help Jaxom put crisps on the shelf.
Loved blossomed and they got married this year at St Andrew's Church in Jevington. On the way to the reception they stopped at the Waitrose where it all began for pictures and to buy a packet of crisps. "It started as a joke a few years ago - 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,” said Jessica.
“All my friends are in couples that have met on a dating app and said that 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.

“We bought the black peppercorn Kettle chips. ''We hadn’t even thought about what crisps we were going to buy so we randomly picked them - they had to be something classy on your wedding day. “We haven’t eaten them yet - we are saving them for our first anniversary.
" The couple returned to the supermarket for wedding photos (Image: Charlotte Baladi Photography / SWNS) Jessica revealed that at first Jaxon was not her type and that she didn't want to get involved with a work colleague. She said: ''We didn’t really talk that much for a while because I went on holiday and then a group of us from work we all went to a Halloween party.

" They then started dating and worked together until December 2017. “We quite instantly realised that we were well matched,” said Jessica. "He ended up moving to Cambridge for a bit so we were long-distance for a while and then I transferred stores and went to the Cambridge store for a bit.
"Then we moved back to Eastbourne and got married." Jessica said shoppers at Waitrose were all “a bit confused” when the couple walked in wearing their wedding outfits.

Jessica said: "It was really nice to go back there and back where we met - it was really sweet." In a post on Facebook after their visit, Waitrose passed on its “huge congratulations to the happy couple”. Jessica now works as a history teacher and Jaxom as a supply chain manager and live together in Polegate.
She said that marriage life is good but is still waiting to have her lifetime supply of crisps. "I was waiting for Waitrose to give us our lifetime supply of crisps but it has not happened," she said..
