The McWedding: Couples set to tie knot in fast food chain branches from January
The London Daily Mail ^ | October 15, 2010

Weddings can be complicated and stressful affairs so would you be loving it if someone was able to serve up the whole meal deal for you? Imagine having your ceremony, reception, wedding cake and catering for up to 100 people provided for just £250.

There's just one drawback - it's at McDonald's.

Couples can tie the knot at the fast food chain in Hong Kong from January 2011.

But while you may think any self-respecting bride would blush if she were to get married there, McDonald's claims it has decided to offer the service only after acquiescing to public demand for it.

The danger of barbecue sauce squirting down the bride's dress is seemingly inconsequential when compared to some people's attachment to their local branch and the desire for a Big Mac and fries.

If I had suggested this to my wife, I would be missing some body parts.

I find it strange that the “priest” who tells the groom to kiss the bride is the Hamburglar..

This almost reminds me of a very funny Ha Jin short story where a Chinese wedding reception takes place in a Chinese version of a KFC. Besides just being a great writer, the story is hilarious.

You'd probably end up being a couple McNuggets short of a Happy Meal

Chick-fil-a would have been fine with me. If it had existed at the time.

This reminds me off something we saw a few years ago. We were in line at a burger joint behind a huge fat young couple. You could tell they were in love because they were wrapped in each other gaze and seem unaware that other people were all around them.

When it because time for them to order their food, they focused laser like on the person taking the order. They each ordered 2 hamburgers, double meat, double cheese, large fries and an over sized malt.

After they ordered they went back to gazing into each others eyes, the love they had for each other was beautiful but the desire for a huge fattening meal got their attention too.

Those 2 are never going to slim down.
