Interesting News Feed: Your Perfect Wedding at McDonald's
News from the Consumerist.
(via The Consumerist)McDonald's recent 2010 Monopoly game has become a recent craze with Americans over collectible properties and railroads. Even I, a lukewarm sometimes-McDonald's-customer, find myself ordering larger drinks to participate in the crazy Monopoly phenomena.
However, on the eastern side of the globe, McDonald's will now offer something even grander and more exciting than our Boardwalks and Reading Railroads. Why yes, you've guessed it: weddings.
McDonald's all over Hong Kong will offer wedding packages at an economical price of about $400. The wedding packages include a wedding ceremony, cake, and reception, all catering to a maximum number of 100 guests.
(via Daily Mail)Because of McDonald's family-friendly image, the wedding packages won't offer alcoholic beverages- so guests will just have to make do with loads of soda and other harmless drinks.
The wedding packages will be available January, 2011. So if you are a McDonald's fan, have a fiance, and some airplane tickets to Hong Kong....why the heck not?
Weird Fact on Hong Kong's McDonald's Pending Wedding Package: McDonald's restaurants will still be publicly open for business regardless of the weddings. This means, regular customers can walk in and out as they please, even during the wedding ceremony.
Questions for you all:
What do you think about a McDonald's wedding? What other fast food restaurants should offer weddings? Are you okay with strangers walking through your wedding? Are the wedding packages worth $400? Do you enjoy playing McDonald's Monopoly game?

.....wow. i dont even know what to say to that.
talk about tacky
fuck no.
LMFAO wow.. x_x
ew no.
Oh god what the hell.
i had at least 4 mcdonalds birthday party while growing up. and i have to admit its AWESOME!!!
everything is taken care of so why not?
i wouldn't mind using it as my catering for my wedding. not so much walking into the place dressed like that.
but who doesn't like mcdonalds?! my parents love it. its a treat for us!
Haha... um, no. =)
all hail the fatties
I've seen people cater their wedding with KFC.
I think it's about the same tackiness. but- if you like McDonald's. Whatever..
Keep in mind McDonald's varies from country to country (in decor, in menu items, ect). So maybe Hong Kong has slightly nicer McDonald's. Either way, if I paid to have my wedding there (which I wouldn't...) I would definitely not be okay with customers walking in and out during the ceremony. The reception, sure, but they should close for a short time during the ceremony, jeez.
sugar and chemically loaded soda pop drinks are not harmless
Umm..no.
Though I am going to win that million dollars..or something close to it! ONE piece left >.>
That's horrifying!
wtf? WHY would you even do that?
No alcohol? I'll pass! hahaha
8f5f2e9a-4e65-467c-8c1a-af258bb3d76c1.03.01@kaiori@xanga - That's exactly what I was about to say. *headnod*
"guests will just have to make do with loads of soda and other harmless drinks" - loads of soda is not harmless. Americans get now get about 1/4 of their calories from beverages -- while alcoholic beverages aren't healthy either, this is deceitful marketing. Encouraging habits like these is what is contributing to the comorbid obesity and diabetes type II epidemics in the U.S.
Oh man... I cannot believe this.
What about Hooters?
lmfao I'd do it. XDDDDDDDDDDDD
I'm a huge fan of McDonald's. However, I'm also a huge fan of weddings. Where I live, it's sort of an unspoken tradition that the best man is responsible for picking up a bunch of happy meals for any children attending the wedding, but I would NEVER NEVER NEVER serve McDonalds to any guests over the age of 12 at my wedding.
lol sounds kinda tacky for a wedding but hey , if mcdonalds actually went through with this idea there must actualli be a market for it ... LOL .
I have to say, $400 is a damn good price for a ceremony and food for 100 guests...but its so incredibly tacky to have a wedding at a fast food joint! Even tackier than a drive through chapel or casino chapel, I think. When I hear "McDonald's Wedding" the first thing that comes to mind is "redneck."
lol never.
