For some, fast food is love, fast food is life. Clearly this couple believes this, so much so that they decided to hold their wedding reception at their favourite fast-food burger joint, Whataburger.

Sharon Arteaga and Dylan Welch of Corpus Christi, Texas have been together for five years. When they first met on a night out, they ended their evening with a meal at Whataburger. Since then, the pair continued to visit this burger joint and would often have big discussions there.

“The Whataburger near my now-husband’s house at the time is a very busy one, so we spent time in the drive-through getting to know each other at first in the early days of us dating, but then over time we had more serious conversations,” Arteaga told Insider. “We talked about how we would want to raise future children together and got on the same page about a lot of things during late-night conversations at Whataburger.”

Fast forward a few years, the couple got engaged. Imagine their surprise when Whataburger ran a competition offering six couples across Texas the chance to tie the knot at various Whataburger locations. Sharon and Dylan won the grand prize, allowing them to marry at the flagship Whataburger location free of charge. The entire wedding was planned by the Whataburger team.

“We let them do as much of what they wanted to do as possible. That was one of the best parts of having someone else put on our wedding for us,” Arteaga said.

Their wedding venue was decorated in the traditional white and orange Whataburger colours, and also featured a Whataburger-themed Ford Shelby Cobra getaway car, Dylan’s nephew as the onion ring bearer, and, of course, free Whataburger meals for the entire party.
