MANY brides and grooms spend hours choosing fancy food for their wedding guests.
However, one couple ditched the formal flair for a “Finger Lickin’ Good” spread that was a whole lot cheaper – and apparently went down well with guests.
Australian bride Monique Harris uploaded a video sharing how they had served KFC as the main course at their wedding reception.
Guests dined on chicken, fries, and even KFC’s signature gravy, instead of the usual multi-course meal.
In a video on her @moniquexxharris account, which has racked up over 1.3million views, Monique shared: “Told my husband we were having a 3 course sit down meal for the wedding.
“He said ‘nah I want KFC catering.’
“Anyway here’s him with his KFC buffet because it’s his wedding too.”
Fair from being annoyed that she didn’t get her way with the food, the bride said they had saved so much money in the process with the total coming to $800AU (£390).
Monique added: “Was way cheaper than getting it catered and everyone loved it.
“$8AU (£3.89) per person compared to the $120 (£58) we kept getting quoted.”
Many people clearly loved the informal and tasty idea, with the video racking up over 130,000 likes.
One said: “I’m showing this to my man he would LOVE THIS.”
Another added: “I’d be thrilled if I was at this wedding!!”
Even KFC commented, saying: “For better, or for buffet.”
However, some people weren’t sure about the idea of dishing out fast food as a main meal at a wedding.
One wrote: “cold dried up chicken and rock hard fries. should have went with the three course.”
MACCIES MEAL
We previously shared how a couple decided to arrange for 300 McDonald’s cheeseburgers and 150 hamburgers to be delivered for their 450 guests as a late-night treat.
And the couple clearly share the same down-to-earth food tastes, as they even chowed down on some burgers on their way to their ceremony earlier the same day.
The cheeseburger acts as a romantic reminder for the pair, who shared their first meal together at McDonald’s six years ago after they met clubbing with a mutual friend.
The couple had spent time planning for the delivery of the burgers, which they knew their guests would love, ordering the £700 burgers one month in advance.
