At several McDonald's restaurants in Hong Kong, customers are served burgers, fries and now, weddings.
The massive food chain announced that 15 restaurants located in Hong Kong allow customers to have their vows exchanged for just a fraction of what a traditional wedding would cost.

Due to high demand, several McDonald's locations now allow customers to get married on the premises.
Ceremonies are replete with McDonald's classic menu items and a festive atmosphere for everyone in the wedding party.
Brides and grooms are given special balloon rings, designed by McDonald's, which can be exchanged during the wedding ceremony.
Other party gifts include a crystal McDonald's toy house and corsages.
There are four different wedding packages available, each with unique names such as: Sweetly Party, Full Love Party, Happiness Party, and Love Forever.
The prices of the McWeddings range from $375 USD to $1,290 and include decorations, bridal bouquets, wedding favors, gifts, and invitations.
In addition to weddings, McDonald's is offering customers the opportunity to have engagement parties, bridal showers, and anniversary parties at its locations.
In an interview with Reuters, Shirley Chang, managing director of Hong Kong's McDonald's outlets said that getting married at McDonald's makes perfect sense for couples who have already had many delightful memories there.
"They date here, they grew their love here, so when they have this important day they want to come over here," she said.
But Asia doesn't hold a monopoly on the original concept as earlier this month a U.S. couple tied the knot at a Boston McDonald's. The trend appears to be gaining traction in the U.S. as well, as more couples are lured by the novelty of exchanging their vows at the fast-food chain.
