Couple wed at Ohio airport baggage claim where they first met one year ago

A couple got married at an Ohio airport baggage claim area where they first met 12 years ago.

Michelle Belleau's boss sent her to pick up future husband Ron Peterson at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in 2007. 

A long-distance relationship developed, with Belleau in Cleveland and Peterson in Los Angeles.

On Saturday they got married at a spot Belleau claimed 'couldn't be more perfect.'

She explained that airports became happy and sad places for the couple as they would reunite and then too quickly have to depart. She has since moved to California to be with her husband. 

Southwest Airlines has agreed to move arriving bags to another carousel to make way for the ceremony. Belleau managed to convince Hopkins officials to let them marry there and they helped them plan their big day.

A large crowd gathered in baggage claim to watch the nuptials, with the bride choosing to wear a blue sequinned dress, perhaps as a good luck symbol for meeting the love of her life.

The newlywds told WTAP: 'It's exciting. But there's so much going on, I think it'll hit me later. It's amazing. Clearly I'm getting the better end of the deal.

'We were going to show up, we were going to get married, and be out of here before security showed up. It was going to be much smaller. Luckily, they cooperated and this is the far better choice.'
