Imagine groom and groomsmen sitting around a hotel room in the morning, killing time, with nothing to do, but feeling like they should do something. The TV is on, playing rubbish Saturday morning programming.
Pretty soon, the thought will occur to someone -- "Let's eat something." And sometimes that thought transforms into, "Let's go for a Macca's run (instead of paying rip-off hotel prices)."
So, Macca's not infrequently rears its head. And there's other wedding places it appears also.
Cheeky stop on the way to photoshoot? Yes, that's a thing. The limousine going through drive-through.
If you image-search for "bride + McDonald's", you're going to be overwhelmed with hits.
And McDonald's also prevents couples from starving to death.
Sometimes they don't eat anything, the entire day. This seems to be a particular problem for Indian weddings, because everyone wants a photo with the couple, and there are sometimes hundreds of guests.
And then after the photos they get dragged onto the dance floor, and by the time they've got a chance to think, the caterers are gone, and the huge buffet (it's usually a buffet) has vanished. The couple hasn't had a chance to taste any of the food they so carefully selected. And so they might be left driving around after midnight, searching desperately for a 24-hour restaurant.
Surprisingly, the photographer/videographer is in a good position to see the problem, because they're actively keeping tabs on what bride and groom are up to, whereas everyone else is enjoying the party.
All it takes is a quick word -- ask the mother of the bride to prepare two plates for the couple and to pick out what food they like. Or, failing that, ask the caterers to pack some takeaway containers.
