Aussie couple become world's first to have KFC-themed wedding with personalised goodies

An Australian couple became the first to use the fast-food joint KFC's giant “wedding service” in Queensland which was launched in 2019. Kate and Harrison Cann's KFC-themed wedding was designed by the Colonel himself including the cake to the photo booth. According to international reports, the couple had their first date at a KFC restaurant in 2017 and they won a competition among 2,000 people by making their own version of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme tune. However, even the guests did not know about the poultry-themed nuptials until they arrived at the service. 

According to reports, Kate and Harrison said that they were “over the moon” to have been selected for the “first-ever KFC Wedding”. They further claimed that the wedding reminded them of the first meal they ever shared together. Moreover, their friends and family were “stunned” when they arrived at the location to have discovered that it was actually the wedding day. They further added, “not just any wedding but a KFC wedding”.
