The stress experienced on your wedding day is enough to make you reconsider saying "I do," and the subsequent expenses might leave you financially drained. However, McDonald's in Indonesia has come up with an affordable solution to ease the burden. In an effort to create unforgettable wedding moments, the franchise offers two options: 100 chicken burgers and 100 boxes of McNuggets, or 100 cheeseburgers and 100 chicken fingers, all for 3.5 million rupiah (approximately R4,404).
Recently, a Durban couple, Danielle and Nathanael van Wyk, made headlines by incorporating McDonald's into their wedding photoshoot. This resonated with some readers who believed that serving McDonald's at a wedding wouldn't be a problem.

Nevertheless, Precious Thamaga-Mazibuko, one of South Africa's most sought-after event planners, disagrees and suggests that this concept might not be well received by South African audiences. Thamaga-Mazibuko believes it would only be suitable for a private celebration. She emphasizes the importance of food in any South African celebration, especially a wedding, regardless of cultural background.
Although the McDonald's menu may seem like a cost-effective way to cater for a wedding, the question remains: does it genuinely reduce expenses?
