McWeddings

Fast food junkies rejoice! According to an article by the NYT, you can now be married under the golden arches of McDonalds! Get this though, the service is only done in Hong Kong. I'm floored that America, the land of  the drive-through-window wedding, wasn't the first to adopt this! But I'm sure we'll be seeing Ronald McDonald shelling out marriage licenses soon enough. I'm 100% on board with this, but that's only because I have a sick obsession with McDonald's milkshakes.

You may be wondering, "why would anyone want to get married at a place like that!" Well I'll tell you. It's the cost. Not unlike weddings in America, an average wedding ceremony in China costs $29,200. A wedding at McDonald's starts at $1,280. That includes food. Would anyone like a second helping of McNuggets?  Looking better already, huh? Ok maybe not, but you gotta admit that's a huge difference!

The price of a wedding is stupendous! Especially if you don't have help paying for it, plan on winning the lotto, or have been saving for ten years. It's no wonder that things like McWeddings are popping up. My question is, why aren't there classy places to have a super cheap wedding? Was that an oxymoron?
