Joel Burger and Ashley King from New Berlin, Illinois met at college but have known each other since kindergarten.
Weddings on Female First
Burger is a grain inspector and King is a student graduate. Last week it was announced in the State Journal Register that the couple were getting married and the news quickly spread of the upcoming Burger-King wedding to the fast food company.
They subsequently set up a Skype call with them to offer their congratulations and then because of their name combo- Burger King revealed that they would pay for their whole wedding.
"When Burger King Corporation heard about the happy Burger-King couple, we felt an overwhelming urge to celebrate their upcoming marriage," a spokesperson for Burger King told BuzzFeed. "It felt like fate: They found each other and their story found us."
"All we ask in return is that they live happily ever after," Burger King said. "And maybe name their first child Chicken Fry."
You really can't make this stuff up!
Congratulations Joel and Ashley!
This is the moment they found out......
