Burger King footing bill for Burger-King wedding

I know true OT Ballers do not frequent Burger King but I thought this was pretty cool of the corporation.
Burger-King
Burger-King
quote:
Joel Burger and Ashley King of Illinois first met in kindergarten, earning the nickname "Burger-King" during a fifth-grade assembly.
"After the man was finished with his motivational speech, he asked the two fifth-grade [student council] representatives to stand up as he wanted the students to applaud our efforts in helping set up his event. As soon as he said, 'Joel Burger and Ashley King,' he started to laugh out loud and pronounced we were 'Burger King,'" King told the The State Journal Register newspaper.
quote:
Destined to be together, the two started dating in college, where the Burger-King nickname stuck. Now, their interesting surnames have earned them national attention.
Joel proposed to Ashley at a lake and decided to take their engagement photos at their local Burger King. They reached out to the company to ask if they could use the brand's logo on their wedding favors – and received an early wedding gift. Burger King has generously offered to pick up the tab for the entire wedding, which will take place on July 17 in Jacksonville.

Actually...that is awesome. I could not tell you the last time I ate at a BK, but I love to hear stories like this!

Classy move from the Birger King folks.

Burger King is all up in the OT this morning.

Not trashy. (Also not sarcasm)
That is pretty damn cool.

Reception full of chicken fries, whoppers, and the line for drinks at coke free style machine will be insane.
These are a must for everyone.

I'd be in.

It doesn't say where the actual wedding is, just that BK is paying for expenses and a tin of favors. Please tell me they're not getting married inside a Burger King!

I would love to wear that hat

No not at a BK. I'm sure it'll be a classy thing still. Bk isn't necessarily doing the food, but it would be awesome if they had some BK nuggets in there.

They once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

Canadian corps are so generous.

Maybe their kid will grow up and marry a McDonald, and they can name their kid Wendy.

Their wedding announcement will look so cool in the newspaper.

Their son will definitely be named Whopper

Brillant marking stragey by Burger King
The wedding may cost them, what, like $20K? And they will get a ton of national media attention from this

He will never have a Carl Jr.
I think I am going to have some chicken fries today to applaud BK.
