Instead of spending money on an expensive venue and worrying about wedding traditions, why not get married at McDonald’s?
Well, that’s what Hong Kong residents can now do. McDonald’s outlets in Hong Kong are now offering “McWeddings.”
The nuptial package, launched on Jan. 1, includes McDonald’s food, wedding gifts, pink invitation cards with the Golden Arches, a wedding cake made of McDonald’s apple pies, a pair of tiny souvenir crystal "M" rings,and decorations featuring the Hamburglar and Ronald McDonald, according to The Globe and Mail.
With all those items included, the ceremony, to which each couple can invite up to 100 people, costs only 9,999 Hong Kong dollars ($1,283).
Since the pilot program was launched, the first formal ceremony took place on Valentine’s Day at a downtown McDonald’s near the city’s financial district.
Kelvin Kowng, a young model, threw a surprise engagement bash for his girlfriend, Ashley Tse, Reuters reported.
McDonald’s said that the concept of marrying with burgers and fries is not shabby in Hong Kong, as many couples have dates in the fast food chain.
"They date here, they grew their love here, so when they have this important day they want to come over here," Shirley Chang, the managing director of Hong Kong's McDonald's outlets, told Reuters.
