Golden Arches of Love: A McDonald’s Wedding Reception Delight

For couple Ophélie and Thomas Billaudeau, their choice of caterer was anything but ordinary. On September 16th, 2023, in Beauvais, France, after their beautiful ceremony, the couple surprised their guests by announcing that McDonald’s would be the official caterer for their wedding dinner. A TikTok video garnered an incredible 2.3 million views!

The Surprise Unveiled

Amidst the joy and excitement of the post-ceremony celebrations, Ophélie took the floor to express her gratitude to her friends and family, leaving them in suspense about the night’s meal.

A guest then made a dramatic entrance donning a McDonald’s uniform, carrying two bulging bags of fast-food delicacies, sparking laughter and applause among the gathering.

The McDonald’s Menu

The decision to have McDonald’s as their caterer stemmed from the couple’s long-standing love for the fast-food giant. Thomas and Ophélie shared their childhood dreams of having McDonald’s cater their wedding, and as they embarked on this new journey together, their dream finally turned into a reality.

Opting for all the burgers from the McDonald’s menu, they consciously omitted fries to preserve their deliciousness. A specially chosen pastry chef made their wedding cake, and a delightful assortment of additional sweets rounded off their dessert offerings.

Expecting the Unexpected

Anticipating a mixed reaction from their guests, especially their intimate gathering of 45 loved ones, the couple acknowledged that their choice of McDonald’s might raise eyebrows. However, their worries were laid to rest as guests, initially hesitant, eventually embraced the unconventional catering choice. Despite reservations, the majority found delight in the surprise!
