Summary In the buzzing financial hub known for its fast living, Hong Kong couples can now grab love on the run at the city's McDonald's outlets, which now offer McWeddings.
On Valentines Day at a downtown McDonald, a young model Kevin, threw a surprise Engagement bash for his girlfriend, Ashley. Decked out with pink balloons, a cake stacked from apple pies and a pair of tiny souvenirs, crystal M rings; the party was the first formal wedding event since the service was launched in January.They date here, they grew their love here, so when they have this important day they want to come over here, said Shirley Chang, the managing director of Hong Kongs McDonalds outlets.The McDonalds Warm and sweet wedding package at US$1282, includes wedding gifts, pink invitation cards emblazoned with golden arches, decor featuring the likes of Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar and classic golden arches fare worth up to $385.With two wedding parties confirmed for this year and around 70 other couples in talks, the American fast food giant is hoping this sideline will take off at a time of economic uncertainty, particularly with traditional Chinese weddings and banquets often imposing a huge financial burden on young couples.
