And I thought that drive-thru weddings in Las Vegas were out-of-the ordinary… but apparently in Hong Kong, you can now get married at McDonald’s.
You may be thinking this is just some marketing gimmick, but actually it’s what the people want.
People said they’d dated here, or met here, and wanted to get married here…
Sadly, due to the awesome economy, we are all now living in –
“The social mobility and incomes of young Hongkongers have fallen,” said poverty researcher Chua Hoi-wai of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. “They have saved money for years and can’t buy flats when they get married.”
So what better way to celebrate your wedding?
It’s cost-effective – only $400 for the ceremony & reception for 100 guests, and it’s symbolic (you met there).
The only downside, the celebration is alcohol-free (it is, after all, a child-friendly establishment), and remains open during the festivities…yeah, you’re not THAT special. Remember, you’re only paying $400, it’s not enough to shut the place down…
