Hong Kong McDonald's To Offer Wedding Packages

McDonald's in Hong Kong would love to super size your nuptials. Starting January 1st, couples can spend few thousand Hong Kong dollars and have a McWedding. From the article: "The package has all the details to attract a wedding banquet cynic or a Golden Arches obsessive: a baked apple pie wedding cake, dress made out of party balloons, kiddie party favors for guests, and of course, catering by McDonald's. Alcohol is banned to make sure there won't be drunk party guests acting inappropriately at the family venue, so newlyweds will have to toast their union with soft drinks instead."

McDonalds is a Big Deal in Hong Kong

[Anonymous Coward]

This may sound weird for those outside of Hong Kong but McDonalds is a big deal there.
In the US, we consider McDonalds as near the bottom rung for fast food. When I had a friend from
HK visit me, the first thing she wanted to do is go to a McDonalds!

In China American products are fashionable

Eating American junk food is considered cool by the young folk in China, and is not looked down upon yet as it is in much of the western world. Same goes for smoking cigarettes and so on...

Well, Hong Kong isn't really quite the same as the regular China, HK has had this stuff for 35 years, roughly as long as most other developed places outside North America. In HK it is roughly seen in the same way and thus a wedding in one is likely to be for kitsch value.
