IRWIN, Pa. - Do you want fries with those vows? Ken Sinchar and Lori Sherbondy have heard that and every other fast-food joke since they announced plans to marry at a McDonald's drive-thru, where they fell in love four years earlier.
On Monday night, Sinchar rolled through the drive-thru in his white minivan, just as he had done day after day, hoping to chat with "that blue-eyed brunette named Lori."
But on this night, Sinchar rolled down his window, Sherbondy slid open hers and the couple grabbed hands as a district judge pronounced them husband and wife.
Sinchar was expecting to pick up a Big Mac, not a date, the first time he pulled through the Norwin Towne Shopping Center McDonald's.
"I didn't used to go for fast food, but I looked at that woman in the window, and wow! I came back every lunchtime after that," said Sinchar, a 38-year-old floor installer.
Sherbondy, 42, who's worked at the restaurant for eight years, said Sinchar made an impression, too.
"He's the only man I ever flirted with," Sherbondy said. "It got to where everyone in the store knew when it was 12:15, when my Hamburger Happy Meal Man was coming through."
Wow.

You have to be pretty damn ambitious to work at the same McDonalds for 8 years.
Also - what kind of guy orders a hamburger Happy Meal for lunch?!

For some reason, I thought this thread was going to be about some promotion McDonald's is having today (Wed) called McDonald's Lovers.

It would be funny if because of this story, she got fired for selling a Happy Meal to someone over 12, knowing it wasn't for a kid.

And then wins millions in a lawsuit charging that McDonalds endorses age discrimination.

As I've said here before, my fiancee' and I met at the Wendy's we were both working at at the time. In fact, I asked her out for the first time in the drive-thru area one Friday morning. After we got engaged, I jokingly said that we should either get married there or get some wedding pics taken there, but she didn't seem to think that it was too funny. Guess it wouldn't have been as original as I thought... ;)

I met my wife while we were both working at a grocery store, but we never considered strolling down the frozen food aisle to exchange our vows. Maybe we could have put Albertson's decals on her dress and made some advertising money out of the deal instead of her blowing the last $10K she had received from an inheritance, but somehow I don't think she would have gone for it.

You should have surprised her by putting one of those red stickers they put on the milk on a certain part of your body.

Or be even more creative and use the plastic ring on a milk jug as a cock ring....

I don't know...McNugget Happy Meal Man is worse, IMO.

This sort of thing makes me angry. If you are going to do something, do it right. Any McDonalds marriage should be conducted by Mayor McCheese!

My wife and I met at a debate tournament. It was suggested by the other coaches that we marry at the awards ceremony of the tournament that we host.

We had a "McDonalds Wedding" at our local franchise a weeks ago. Wedding and Reception, everything included such as free McD's food.

Hah, I forwarded the article to my fiancee' yesterday and she forwarded to her father. I think he likes the idea...it would save him a bundle of cash. :D

What a concept....think of the money you would save. Reduced food costs,
no need to rent a recption hall, and I bet Wendy's might even kick in a bit
for the cake and flowers since it would be great advertising.
