When Ms Yang suggested this, MrLui's response was an excited 'yeah!'

Mr Lui, 29, a corporate sales executive, said: 'The supermarket is close to us. We often discuss things and tell each other our plans when we are there. We had many fun and enjoyable trips there.'

So for an hour last Friday, it was the couple, and not the bargains, that got aunties at the hypermart staring and chattering excitedly.

Apart from the curious stares, there was also speculation about how they 'must have met there'.

Some even asked the couple for their ages so that they could buy 4-D numbers.

Ms Yang, 29, an assistant corporate communications manager, said: 'We heard some people saying, 'Crazy ah, come here to take wedding photos'.'

During the photoshoot, they ran down the aisles like contestants in the television game show Supermarket Spree.

'We're usually very well-behaved. But it was fun goofing around in the hypermart and it was also more meaningful because of all the happy memories that we had there.'

Having their photographs taken at the hypermart has an additional symbolic meaning for Ms Yang.

She said: 'It's the mark of our new family. Before we got married, everything was provided for at home. Now that we're living together alone, the hypermart is a mark of our coupledom.'

Contrary to the aunties' speculation, the couple met at a networking function. But the hypermart remains their weekly hangout for grocery shopping.

Mr Lui said: 'I get so much inspiration when I go shopping there. There are so many dishes I can cook for my wife.'

The couple, who registered their marriage last July, will hold their ceremonial wedding on 7 June.

Mr Seah Kian Peng, the managing director of NTUC FairPrice, said: 'We're pleased that FairPrice Xtra at Hougang Point gave Mr and Mrs Lui many happy memories of their courtship days, and we're happy to share in their joy. We'll continue to do our best to delight our customers.'

An NTUC FairPrice spokesman said that this was the first request for wedding pictures to be taken on its premises.

To congratulate the couple, FairPrice gave them two heart-shaped boxes of chocolate and $100 worth of vouchers, which MsYang said she and her husband will use 'when they feel like cooking a meal together'.

Would they return to FairPrice for their family pictures?

'I have no idea, we'll leave that for the future,' Ms Yang said with a laugh.
