A pair of cost-conscious lovebirds abandoned plans for an expensive wedding and held a party at McDonald’s.
Ellie, 26, and Alex, 27, had the idea of commemorating their big day by inviting dozens of guests until they processed the numbers and realized that it would Make them spend more than $10,000.
So the British couple reminded their family that they found two witnesses and headed to the Marriage Bureau near their homes to finish the job for about $70 before falling down at Golden Arches’ cheeseburger.
Ally is already a mother of two and tells what jam is, and in the end she just wants to tie the knots – without impressing her guests.
“We can’t justify spending $25,000 to $25,000 a day,” Allie said. “It’s ridiculous. I just want to get married.”
Ellie wore a long white gown for about $300. Football player Alex bought the suit for $200. Overall, the couple spent $500 on the wedding – including fast food.
Ellie said the savings will be spent on two honeymoons – the “Mini Moon” held in Dubai later this spring.

The couple also longed to put the savings into home purchases – and didn’t regret their less lax wedding.
“We looked at the venue, we were cited thousands of people, and then our guests had to book a room. We needed something else,” Ellie said.
“We think if we don’t just do that, then we will never be [mother] and Alex’s brother. After that, I was hungry, so we went to McDonald’s. ” she said with a smile.
“It’s a wonderful day. It completely takes the stress out. Ellie narrates that we have to impress people, we have to impress people – thanks to her family and friends who helped her get rid of the “perfect” non-factual .
Someone splashed Ellie’s hair with $100 worth of flowers, while the bride and groom’s parents were about $700 for a modest party including a casual buffet and a DJ, which was 20 of the 20 couples’ closest friends and family The party was invited.
The groom’s brother took a picture – someone brought a disposable camera and distributed it to the guests.
Ellie said the wedding was “a great thing to celebrate.”
“But people should do that.”
