An extremely low budget affair that strives unsuccessfully to look classier than it is. Most do stop
short of actually holding their wedding reception in MacDonalds, but if you've ever attended a reception similar to the one about to be described, rest assured, you have attended a "McWedding"
The bride and groom are both dressed in suits or in wedding clothes that were made around 25 years ago. The reception is held in a pub function room or community hall (not bad in itself) and is decorated with a few mismatched balloons, streamers, party poppers,
paper tablecloths and
weird papery swans and bells (very very bad). The
food was clearly made by a team of aging female relatives with no concept of hygiene, and consists of rapidly drying
tuna, ham and
cheese sandwiches, copious amounts of
cheese and pineapple on sticks, lots of quiche and breadsticks and platters of chicken nuggets. Confetti is all around every
dish to make it look as if it's of higher quality. There is a
DJ with about 3 lights and just as many CD's. There is no open bar. Children run about, fighting and crying because they're so bored. Adults run about, fighting and crying and drinking because they're so bored.
"I've
still got food poisoning and a black eye from
Pete and Sal's McWedding at the
weekend. Shittest thing I've ever been to."
