Bride & Groom Stop Off For A Quick Big Mac

big-mac.jpgAlice Clark mentioned on our forums that she was planning on taking a diversion to McDonald’s on the way to her wedding reception, the idea being that Alice and Terry can grab some food and not have to worry about going hungry during the reception buffet.

What started as a bit of fun soon sparked a bit of media interest, from online local news sites, to the Sun newspaper - the problem was that as the story spread it was affected by the old Chinese Whispers syndrome… and what started out as a bit of fun and a practical way of getting some quick food, was soon being reported as Alice and Terry were holding their wedding reception, guests and all, in McDonalds!

I asked Alice to send me the ‘official’ story so the record could be set straight, so here it is.

Terry parents offered to arrange our reception for us, which was great we really appreciate that, they said they would organise a buffet, now me being the fussy cow I am, I am not keen on buffet food, one of the main reasons being the hygiene issue!!

 

Also the fact that on the morning of the wedding I proberly wont get a chance to eat anything, so Terry jokingly said to me lets go McDonald’s after the ceremony, I replied in full wedding gear! Realising I was taking him seriously he said “OK, why not”

 

So after the ceremony, whilst all the guests are heading to the reception at the County Arms in Truro, Terry, Myself, My Brother Martin and his fiancé Celia will be popping into McDonald’s for a big Mac! It will give me a chance to eat something, as at the reception I doubt I will get much chance to eat what with doing the who’s who rounds with his family!!

 

Also it will give us sometime together before the hustle and bustle of the reception.

 

I don’t know were the papers have got the idea of the whole reception being at McDonald’s because that has not once been mentioned! We have made it clear it is only 4 of us going! It’s not in any way a key part of our wedding, just a chance for the 4 of us to grab some food!

 

I know a lot of people see McDonald’s as unhealthy junk food, and that maybe so for some people, but Terry and I are a young, fit and healthy couple who enjoy swimming, keep fit and at home eating proper home cooked healthy meals!

 

The McDonald’s is an occasional treat, I can’t say how often because sometimes we go once a week other times we may not go for a few weeks! It all depends on how the mood takes us!

 

Just because we are doing this on our wedding day doesn’t mean we are junk food addicts! Were else can we get a meal quick, easy and cheaply without leaving the guest for too long?!!

 

I hope this clears this up!
