Couple host wedding reception in KFC

Bride Kalli Buchan, in a white gown, and groom Gareth Pritchard tucked into £200 of chicken and fries with their guests at a KFC.



Kalli, 25, got the idea for the unusual venue from parents Madalene and Davy. Their reception was at a McDonalds in 1989. Mum-of-two Kalli said it had been a joint decision to hold yesterdays do at the Bristol restaurant.

She said: Because my mum and dad had their reception at McDonalds we decided we would do the same. Its been a great day. The newlyweds girl Amelia, three, and Lana, six, Kallis daughter from a previous relationship, were flower girls at the register office service.

Unemployed Gareth, 33, said: We arent that keen on McDonalds but we thought everyone would like KFC. I think all the guests took it in the right spirit, as a bit of fun. Madalene, 42, who feasted on Egg McMuffins when she wed, said: People still talk about our wedding 22 years later. I hope it will be the same for Gareth and Kalli. KFC branch manager Jerry Carino said it was a first for the restaurant.
