CALGARY – Others may head for the beauty of a tropical beach, but a Calgary couple has another destination in mind for their wedding.

Kyle Mosby and Robin Gawreluck are exchanging vows at the Spyhill Landfill.

Gawreluck said she thought it was a joke when Mosby suggested it.

But she’s since warmed to the idea, both of them wanting to do something different for their big day.

“I checked Google,” said Gawreluck. "No one’s gotten married at the dump before, so we’re number one.”

Mosby works at Spyhill as a labourer, while Gawreluck also works for the city as a gardener.

They won’t actually be tying the knot amidst the piles of garbage, instead holding the ceremony Aug. 29 on a deck outside the landfill office.

They’re also hosting the reception there, complete with a barbecue and a blues band.
