The couple, both 27 years old, met in April of this year when Speedwell officiated at the Ana Luiza church. “We met through social networks, we planned a meeting and we started dating,” explained Ana Luiza.

Speedwell, who is also an online gospel singer, added: “Ever since we met, we’ve always come to McDonald’s.” The couple had planned a big wedding party with all their family and friends, but instead opted for a quiet civil ceremony and a trip to Maccas.

Speedwell explained: “We celebrated in an area that was meaningful to both of us. Seeing the enthusiasm of the people and their reaction when they saw us celebrating there was incredibly rewarding,” added Ana Luiza.

“I was very happy! It was a truly unforgettable experience.”

In 2015, Elson Tong and Yong Yong Qing met at university. After almost seven years together, they decided to get married. The wedding took place on July 19 at the West Coast Park outlet.

Tong is an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Qing is a senior associate at Changi Airport. When they told their families that they were getting married at a McDonald’s, they thought it was a joke and were baffled.

According to a recent article in The Straits Times, the couple spent approximately S$700 on food and venue. What a profitable wedding!

How did McDonald’s start?

Founded by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, in the 1940s, McDonald’s embarked on an extraordinary journey of innovation and global expansion. In the 1950s, Ray Kroc played a pivotal role in franchising the brand, introducing the iconic Golden Arches logo, and solidifying its name as McDonald’s Corporation.

The 1960s and 1970s saw exponential growth, and the company rapidly expanded its presence in the United States and eventually throughout the world. McDonald’s became synonymous with fast food and introduced beloved menu items like the Big Mac and the Happy Meal.

Throughout its history, McDonald’s has continually evolved, adapting to changing consumer preferences and dietary trends, while remaining a leading figure in the global fast food industry.
