There are a lot of things to see at the mall in the days leading up to Christmas. There are last minute deals and last minute gifts.

But Friday night, at the Huntington Mall, Mr. and Mrs. Claus made it official, tying the knot in front of family, friends and curious mall onlookers.

Their story goes like this: Ralph Grimm met Debbie Knapp a year ago at the Huntington Mall at the Santa display.

They decided the spot where they met would make the perfect spot to get married, and decided tying the knot dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Claus would be appropriate.

"We kind of joked about it at first," said Knapp. "But the more we talked about it, we finally said, 'why not?'

In front of friends, family and mall onlookers, the two were married at the Santa workshop.

"It's what she said she wanted, and she gets what she wants," said Grimm.

As for a honeymoon, Knapp wouldn't say what the plans were. The North Pole may seem like an obvious choice.

"That's not far off," she said.
