Trav Le Bleu Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 Couple to Have Wedding Reception at KFC Bristol wedding reception to be held at KFC A Bristol couple will be celebrating their wedding nuptials on Saturday with a bucket of chicken and fries. After tying the knot at the city's register office, Gareth Pritchard and Kalli Buchan will be having a reception for 30 family and friends at KFC. The wedding party will walk to the restaurant in their full regalia. A fast food reception has become a family tradition for Miss Buchan whose parents celebrated their wedding with Egg McMuffins at McDonald's in 1989. Mr Pritchard said they came up with the idea simply because it was different. 'Cool idea' He said: "I've spoken to the manager and he's informed all the staff and they seem ecstatic at the idea of us being there. I think it's going to be a really fun day. "It's only five minutes from the register office and I think 30 of us walking there will be quite an amazing scene to see on a Saturday afternoon." Miss Buchan added: "We're getting married at Bristol Register Office at 2pm and plan to be at KFC at 3pm because that's the end of their busy period. She said her friends had laughed when she told them: "They think it's a cool idea. I'll probably have a Fully Loaded meal." Miss Buchan's parents, Davy and Madalene, said they had their reception at McDonald's because of financial necessity. But they said they were happy with the couple's choice of venue. Mr Buchan said: "We walked from the old register office to McDonald's and people were coming up congratulating us in the street. A group of Americans said, 'my God we thought you English were so reserved'. "We stopped off and went into Superdrug on the way in our full outfits with the wedding party then carried on." Mrs Buchan said: "It's nice to carry on the tradition I suppose seeing as we started one. I'm looking forward to the chicken." Seriously, take a look at yourselves. Well I suppose it'll be a day to remember for the rest of their lives, the day they had a family-sized bucket AND coleslaw.
Parafox Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 CHAV CHAV CHAVVYYYY FFS I have nothing against people doing what they want within reason but this is just plain trailer trash. Do they really think people are going to look a them and think "what well-rounded and down to earth folk"

Finnegan Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 That's just fucking pathetic. What a disgrace. Everyone knows Munch Munch is better value for money.

Zingari Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 yuk, the groom will be running his fingers over big fat greasy legs and breasts and a big slimy bucket on his wedding day hopefully the food at KFC will be ok though
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 I wonder if the honey moon was finger licking good?

FoxyPV Posted 12 February 2011 Posted 12 February 2011 Meh, it's their choice. I think it's preferable to people bankrupting themselves trying to have some sort of ideal day and the stress in the build up nearly driving the couple apart.

Going to KFC actually wasnt the cheapest option...

I really don't understand the need to have a big expensive wedding.

Ashley Posted 13 February 2011 Posted 13 February 2011 You say chav as if it's a bad thing! What is a chav? I'd like to see peoples definition of one, just because they are having a wedding meal at KFC it makes them a chav, shit the fooking bed. Maybe they don't have a lot of money and can't pay out for £???? Per head.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 13 February 2011 Author Posted 13 February 2011 Chav isn't about being poor, it's about not having any dignity. In principle I find that poor people have far more dignity than the very rich, who let power/money make them do stupid things. At my wedding we hired a school hall and most of the food was donated by family and friends. The photographer was my uncle, a keen amateur (hells bells, all you need is a decent camera and a sense of proportions - I've often thought photographers prices are a ripoff), the car was a friend's, the wedding cake was made by a friend as their present (another keen but compotent amateur) - the only things paid for were my wife wedding dress (I already had a smart black suit), the rings and the hall. The ceremony was free as was use of the hall for it. It all went swimmingly (although since my sis-in-law had to translate all my wife's wedding vows into sign language, I'm worried that I'm also married to her )

No ceremony is free... Civil or Religious!

Well we didn't pay the person who took the wedding ceremony, put it that way - I guess the registrar got paid by one set of our parents.
BoneDog Posted 13 February 2011 Posted 13 February 2011 I'd be fuming if I was going to this wedding. Absolutely fuming. I love a bit of fried chicken, but it's a wedding man - no Volevonts? Disgusting!
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 13 February 2011 Posted 13 February 2011 May turn up in a suit that day conviniently and try look part of the reception, hopefully they'll pay not realizing I do anything for food
