I Do: McDonalds Now Offering McWeddings

Today a McDonald’s in the financial district closed for a very special private party. Kelvin, a young model, rented out the place for a $1,282 wedding party complete with pink balloons, a “cake” stacked from apple pies, and a pair of tiny souvenir crystal M rings. The engagement party is the first to take advantage of a new McWedding service McDonald’s launched in January. On Valentine’s Day at a downtown McDonald’s close to the financial district, the fast food joint was decked out with pink balloons, a cake stacked from apple pies, as well as a pair of tiny souvenir crystal M rings, for a surprise engagement bash thrown by Kelvin, a young model, for his girlfriend, Ashley.
McWeddings

The appeal to the McWeddings is the price, most notably, as it comes in well under the average cost for a Hong Kong wedding. According to the Sentinel story, “The McDonald’s ‘Warm and sweet wedding package,’ at HK$9999 ($1282) a pop, includes wedding gifts, pink invitation cards emblazoned with golden arches, decor featuring the likes of Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar, and classic golden arches fare worth up to $385.” A bunch of food activists and artists in Finland kidnapped a Ronald McDonald statute from McDonald’s and held it hostage in a series of Al-Qaeda style ransom videos. They demanded answers to questions about how McDonald’s produces it food or they would guillotine the statue. Two members of the group were arrested by police and the statue was recovered, but the group went ahead and guillotined a replica anyway.

1. There was a wave of thefts of the fiberglass bells at Taco Bells in my town

It was a bunch of college students. When they were caught, my friend the judge made them each write an essay about stealing the bells.

Then he got shot.

6. I thought the wedding industry hit rock bottom with the Disney World Honeymoons.

The newlyweds wear mouse-ears, the brides with a veil and the grooms with a top-hat every minute of their stay at DW to get the discounts.
