TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A Tampa couple wanted to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime date by getting married. And their chosen venue was an unusual wedding venue — a gun shop.

Jason and Jennifer Hahn got married on Tuesday – or “Twosday” 2/22/22. That date is a palindrome and is so rare that it won’t happen again for 400 years.

The couple celebrated their special day at the Mad Dog Armory, a gun shop on West Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa.

According to Mad Dog Armory, the couple wanted the ceremony to start right around 2:22 p.m. so they could married at 2:22 on 2/22/22. They had just two loved one alongside them as they took their vows.

The ceremony itself lasted about 8 minutes and took place inside the store near the windows. It featured the bride carrying a bouquet of flowers tied to a gun.
