NJ Wedding Planner - Hong Kong McWeddings: I'm Lovin' It!

It's easy to confuse "My Big Redneck Wedding" with a McDonald's wedding package, but other than the incongruity of holding a wedding ceremony under the Golden Arches, there's nothing similar to it and the tractor pulls featured on the TV show.

Apparently wedding ceremonies in Hong Kong aren't the same as those here in the U.S. It was only in 2006 that the government there allowed a marriage to take place in a secular location. But since such out of the ordinary locales were permitted, unique settings have been popping up and the fast food burger chain is just the latest example.

McDonald's "Warm and Sweet" wedding package, which goes for HK$9,999 (or $1,283 in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates) includes renting the restaurant for two hours, 50 invitations, and up to $385 in food. Couples can provide guests with McDonald's characters like Ronald McDonald, Grimace, and the Hamburglar as wedding favors. And you can't beat the Double Apple Pie box "cake" display!

According to Time magazine, the average traditional wedding in Hong Kong starts at around $38,000 (compared that to $25,000 or so in the U.S.). A McDonald's wedding therefore makes for a more affordable and intimate -- if somewhat offbeat -- affair.

Anything that encourages couples to get married means I'm lovin' it!
