Hilarious pictures feature the pair pushing a trolley through the store as they gaze lovingly into each other's eyes

Instead the Minneapolis couple, who love a good bargain, decided to get them taken in their favorite store - Costco


While most engagement pictures feature time-worn cliches such as frolicking through fields, or a sunset stroll down the beach, a Minneapolis couple decided they wanted to get their romance in bulk.

Dan Klamet and Karinne Tarshish both love a bargain, almost as much as they love each other.

So when Dan popped the question to Karrine, 27, they decided to forgo the traditional 'lovey-dovey' pictures and have them taken in their favorite store - Costco.

'Traditional photos seemed very awkward to us. In fact, we were not planning to take any engagement photos to begin with,' Tarshish, a director of operations at Title Choice, told ABC News.

She explained that their wedding photographer had thrown in a free engagement photo session as part of their wedding package so they decided to have some fun with it.

'I had joked before that we should have our engagement photos be of something mundane, like shopping at Costco (which we do often), watching TV, or eating at a buffet. I thought it would be even funnier to glamorize those things.'

Tarshish said that traditional engagement photos, featuring time-worn cliches such as frolicking through fields, or a sunset stroll down the beach, had always seemed 'very awkward' to the couple

The pictures have already been seen more than 85,0000 times since they were posted on Imgur just three days ago.

'Anyone who knows Dan and I know how much we love Costco. There isn't much to it,' said Tarshish. 'We just like good deals, and we both like Costco as a company. I will say that my family is pretty gung-ho about Costco. We generally get everything there.'

The couple are due to tie the knot on October 15 in Edina, Minnesota.

Costco were unavailable for comment.
