Get me to the Drive Thru on time

I imagine their KFC reception was considerably cheaper than my very traditional church followed by hotel 'do'. If you organised it as a drive thru affair you would have none of those seating plan issues which plague wedding planners.

hi pikey. well we got married on a veritable shoe string but my husband to be said we are going to be married in a church no matter what. we had both joined the methoidst church. the pastor's name was Dr.Prior so my fiance in order to remember his name coupled it with scew driver or a pryer .We had the minister and his wife and the organist to witness our wedding and one of the deacons who gave away the bride. we were fairly new in Phoenix and knew very few people. but our wedding was legitimate down to the wedding march and the brides bouquet. My parents were not at the wedding as my dad was completely opposed to my marrying my fiance. now I was 31 so really he had no right to act like he did. so of course my mom not ever doing anything unless dictator dad okayed it would not come. I remember we celebrated by having our dinner in a new restaurant which now I cannot remember the name of but I remember we had tongue sandwichs and potato salad and huge slices of the best apple pie I had ever tasted. No I would not ever have had a fast food restaurantas a place for a reception well as I said we married on a very small budget so no wedding reception at all. But we might not have had a regular wedding wigth all the expenses but we must have done something right. for we were married for 33 years ended only by my husbands sudden fatal heart attack in 1991.so fancy stuff does not guarantee a happy long marriage. lol.

Back when I got married they didn't have fast food...but my wedding was small and the reception was at my parent's house. Usually it's at a church but there were so few guests that we just moved on to my parents....I should have just stayed home that day entirely!

Great! You're right, if that makes them happy, why not! We married in a synagogue and then had the reception in a local function venue. But actually we've just been to the most amazing Indian restaurant, and I was thinking it would be great for a venue. So if we got married again... But it's not fast food, and is pretty smart looking, so is a bit different from KFC or Macdonalds. Our local Macdonalds has a kids party room, so at a stretch it could be used as a wedding venue I suppose!!

Brings all new meaning to the slogan, "Finger lickin' good"... My first wedding was formal and expensive. My second one was small, informal, and was a lot more fun...for everyone involved. We didn't go to KFC, but picked a restaurant with enough of a menu to please everyone's tastes.

Hello, Pikey. Our wedding reception was held at a holiday park where we owned a chalet, and all the guests stayed for the weekend. It was a great weekend, and people still talk about it 11 years later. It wasn't all that expensive, either. I certainly wouldn't have considered holding the reception at a fast food venue. We're not that keen on fast food anyway, and the wedding meal should be something special, not a cholesterol-laden junkfest.

lol...that would be a definite no-no in our community. Meat is not served at a wedding but it can be served at a reception. Our wedding receptions are usually held at the home of the groom. The food is catered and the place is decorated...and the bride put on show!! (that's the part I hate) At a wedding, only immediate family and very close friends of the groom are invited for the wedding.All other acquaintances attend the reception. It is mandatory (especially in the inner circles/villages) for the bride to be decked up in all her jewellery so that the guests get an idea of the amount of 'dowry' that has come in. But that's fast changing in the cities...and the brides refuse to wear all their gold. Sometimes the reception is held at a hall....depending on the spending capacity of the groom/his family.

I myself, would not want to. but to each his own! I had mine in a nice hotel after a church ceremony!

... okay... I eat at KFC, but I don't consider it "special" Granted, we seldom do the whole meal thing that many places do, I can't ever remember having a sit down meal with a wedding, in fact, if there were more than cake, champagne, punch and finger foods, I was always pleasantly surprised. However, KFC would not be my choice... must've been all they could afford!

I don't think I'd consider a fast food restaurant, I'd rather have something a little more dignified. When I was married we had no money. We got married by a minister in our back yard with two other couples as witnesses. The next day had a party in our back yard for all our friends and I think the whole thing cost about $100. We all had fun and it was a good celebration. I would do it again if I was ever nuts enough to want to try marriage again. So what kind of ceremony and reception did you have?

We got married in our house. We used the archway between the kitchen and living room to stand under. Our guests were seated around the living room behind us. It was the nicest part of our marriage, I have to say. LOL

Hi. p1kef1sh. I must say that this is very different from what I am so used to hearing. I had my wedding reception at an church member's apartment. She surprised me and my husband. I don't think that I would feel comfortable with having my wedding reception at a fast food restaurant. It seems weigh too crowded for me. If that floats the English couple's boat, then I wish them the best of the sweetest bliss there is. But as for me, I will just stick with what makes me feel comfortable, which is the normal non traditional way.

if money is the number one my problem to celebrate it i think i will consider the fast food to celebrate it. but if i had more money , i guess i will take another place which is more memorable to celebrate it.

LOL, looking back to when I as married as I am divorced; McDonalds would have suited us fine as well things did not work out and all the money spent could have been saved.. Besides McDonalds has a play land whereas I am sure we all would have had more fun there. LOL.

I would not but as you rightly said, If that's what turns them on then why not.[i][/i] I am not a fast food person thats for starters and then I would certainly want something more personal for the big day. I wish them all the best and hope they have a KFCrific marriage though. LOL

Tell me, did they buy their wedding clothes at Walmart?

Hi ya p1kef1sh My reception was held in a hotel but I would never even consider a fast food restaurant as a venue.

If that be happen to me. I prefer the reception in public

And here I was thinking that English were classy people! These people are obviously not as high on the evolutionary path as you are my friend. I would never have had my wedding at a venue like that. I take pity on these people. My wedding ceremony was on a cliff top besides a national park which overlooked a lush rainforest valley with a waterfall and the distant hills and mountains. We then went back to the rainforest retreat for the reception, overnight accommodation and then breakfast the next morning. It was a big night!

we have got our venue in a function hall because there are so many to be present,lie you said that the couple had there venue in KFC,because they have only few one to be treated,there is no role that the venue should be in place in the home or any big place.
