In 2006, Hong Kong changed its marriage law to permit for weddings to be held outside places of worship or City Hall. Since then, weddings have taken place on boats, in underwater theme parks, and shopping malls. The latest company to cash in on this trend is... McDonald's. A McWedding starts at $1280, which includes food and drink for 50 people, a "cake" made of stacked Apple Pies, gifts for the guests, and invitation cards with photos of the couple. McDonald's employees dress in black suits, greet guests, and deliver Big Macs and fries with the proper pomp. There is no alcohol -- toasts are accomplished with sundaes or shakes.
