Love never fails, especially at Target.
After recently tying the knot, Michael Delvalle and Isabella Sablan of Miami, Florida knew that only one location was fitting for their first photos as husband and wife: their local Target.
Sablan told ABC News on March 2 that she and Delvalle have been together for nearly eight years, having met at age 19 while working at their local Hollister. During their courtship, they took trips to Target so often, they felt it was only right to include it in their big day.

"The basis of our relationship is built on Target. We probably go two to three times a week. We like long walks at Target instead of on the beach,” the bride said.

Delvalle couldn’t agree more, adding that Target “has always been a pretty significant part of our relationship,” in a statement shared to Fox News by wedding photographer Evan Rich.
“When we needed something to do on a slow Thursday night, Target was always there with open doors. Even if we didn’t need anything, Target always knew what was best for us and it never failed to send us home without some sort of delicious treat, household good, or one of those beautiful red tag clearance items that now consume our entire home décor,” the groom said.

“When it came time to decide on a location to shoot our engagement photos, we knew it had to be somewhere with deep personal meaning- somewhere that contributed to the development of our relationship- so naturally our first inclination was the enthralling aisles of our favorite emporium,” Delvalle cheekily quipped.

“It’s too bad we can’t throw our reception in Target because then that would truly be the frosting on the Market Pantry cake,” the groom said of their wedding day. After celebrating a mini-moon in Clearwater, Fla., the couple are thrilled to begin their life together.
