In the realm of weddings, couples are increasingly embracing unconventional themes to make their special day truly unique. One such extraordinary tale unfolded as a couple exchanged vows in a SAFRA clubhouse ballroom, not with a traditional banquet but with a buffet of finger-lickin’ goodness from KFC.
Loves KFC
Meet Ms. Wong Liang Le, a 32-year-old bride with a penchant for KFC, and Mr. Xie Peng, a 40-year-old software engineer. Their shared love for the iconic fast-food chain paved the way for a wedding concept that celebrated their individuality and the bond forged over crispy fried chicken, according to Shin Min Daily News.
Choosing the ballroom of a SAFRA clubhouse as their wedding venue, the couple added a surprising twist by opting for a KFC-themed celebration. What started as a personal desire for Ms. Wong to incorporate KFC into her wedding turned into a delightful surprise, with KFC sponsoring a significant portion of the expenses.
Guests were treated to a buffet of KFC’s famous fried chicken, creating a unique and delicious experience. Adding to the unconventional charm, Ms. Wong carried a bridal bouquet not adorned with flowers but with delectable fried chicken. The tradition of tossing the tasty bouquet to a friend added a humorous and unexpected touch to the festivities.
1st date was at KFC
The couple’s love story took a distinctive turn when their first date happened at KFC. Mr. Xie, a software engineer, appreciated Ms. Wong’s unpretentious choice for their initial meeting, seeing it as a sign of shared values and compatibility. Their relationship flourished, overcoming challenges, and culminated in a decision to tie the knot within the same year.
Ms. Wong’s touching story, coupled with her loyalty to KFC despite health challenges, moved the fast-food chain. In a heartwarming gesture, KFC not only sponsored half of the wedding food but also provided unique elements like the fried chicken bouquet and a photo booth backdrop. The total sponsorship amounted to approximately S$2,300.
