My very first McWedding

Something crazy happened on Friday night. And yes, it's Sunday...But I've been distracted lately...trying to figure out what's happening in my mind, and what's happening in her mind, and wishing slightly that none of this had started...

Off the point...
Coming back from an contrasting evening with her, I stopped at McDonald's for some dinner...
And believe it or not, there was a bride and groom happily eating a mcflurry...

Now I chose to ignore the blatant sign of love being shoved in my face minutes after telling her that this was goodbye for real... (yes universe, I'm ignoring you)... and literally stopped and stared.

It is important to note here that god did not bless me with tact or subtlety and so when I say stare I really mean gawk.
The couple (and their family, with Gran in tow- who, by the way did NOT look impressed) didn't seem to think there was anything unusual about a McWedding.
OK- is it just me? Or is McDonald's a really random place to go for your wedding? I mean COME ON!
So maybe they met in McDonald's... K, that's cool, then eat McDonald's at the wedding... But to sit down on the (grubby, kid covered) plastic red chairs in a (VERY) white dress...
Not my idea of fun!
But seeing as I am not really into the whole marriage thing and have never pictured myself walking down the isle in the typical little girl fantasy, I can't actually judge...can I?

Maybe McDonald's was part of her fantasy...
Maybe his...
But if my spouse (yes - in this hypothetical wedding, I actually believe in the concept of marriage) said they wanted our wedding at a McDonald's I don't think I'd be very willing!
All I know is that a McDonald's wedding was something I'd never seen before, and I'm highly doubtful I'll see again...
