The world’s first official KFC wedding was held this past weekend in Queensland, Australia. Lucky couple Kate and Harrison Cann tied the knot in a finger-licking-good ceremony and reception entirely sponsored by the popular chicken franchise.

Back in September 2019, KFC Australia offered six soon-to-be-wed couples a chance to win a KFC themed wedding package. All they had to do is enter online and explain why they deserved the chicken feast. Kate and Harrison were the first lucky winners to have their wedding completely organised by KFC through their newly minted wedding service, beating out around 2,000 other hopeful couples for this unique opportunity.

The Cann’s, from Toowoomba in Queensland, had their first date at a KFC so it’s fitting that the couple would celebrate their big day with the famed chicken outlet.

On their big day, 150 of their nearest and dearest gathered for this momentous occasion. As part of the day, KFC gifted the couple with personalised KFC buckets, a wedding cake, photo booth, and a food truck dishing up Kentucky Fried Chicken.  

“We’re over the moon to have been selected for the first-ever KFC wedding and having the Colonel present on our big day took us back to the first meal we shared together – KFC!,” Kate and Harrison told 7 News.

Back in 1985, Mick and Tracey Hepworth from the UK suffered a terrible misfortune. While celebrating at a pub after their wedding, Tracey’s handbag was stolen – with the film roll containing their wedding pictures.

Unbeknownst to them, Angie McHale had found the empty handbag with the roll of film on the street later that night, and had the photos developed. However, back then, she had no way of reaching the owners of the photos.

Years later, McHale came across the pictures again, and decided to share them on Facebook. To her surprise, within hours the pictures were shared hundreds of times and had over 400 comments with people trying to help. At last, a friend of Tracey saw it online and told her she thinks it might be her!

Angie got in contact with Mick and Tracey and finally reunited the couple with their treasured memories of their special day.

“It was a thoughtful gesture for what was a complete stranger,”Angie said. “It just shows Facebook can be used for good,” added Tracey.

What a lovely anniversary gift, as Mick and Tracey will celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary this July.

A man in the US was diagnosed with a rare and fast-growing cancer that cannot be cured, according to the National Cancer Institute. Then, in January of this year, Rachel rushed her loving partner Gus to the hospital when he experienced severe pain. He had been hospitalized ever since.

Ah, weddings. Incredibly happy and emotional, your big day can also be a site of embarrassment if things go wrong. And with so many moving parts, something is bound to happen.

Recently, popular late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon asked his viewers to share their most embarrassing wedding fails, and their responses definitely did not disappoint. Here are a few of our favourites:

My mom sat on a hot curling iron while getting ready for the big day. It stuck to her butt and had to be pulled off by the bridesmaids, along with several layers of skin. Probably ruined the honeymoon too. #weddingfail

When the bride threw her bouquet, all the single ladies rushed in to grab it. Problem was a kid was goofing around and threw himself in front of their legs. One bride’s maid hit him, fell on her face, passed out and broke two front teeth.#weddingFail

My husband was best man in a wedding where the groom was so drunk that we needed to drag him into the back seat of his own car and then onto a luggage cart to get him to his hotel room. The father of the bride took photos of his head in a toilet as blackmail. #WeddingFail pic.twitter.com/V2zHhLNgnx

The stereotype may suggest that all women love shopping, but that’s not really the case. For some, shopping can be an annoying or stressful experience. These women usually opt for the online shopping route.

Wedding dress shopping is even more taxing a task. Online shopping may seem like a good way to relieve some of the stress. It could give you more time to deal with other wedding organisation to-do’s, it saves you from endless interactions with consultants in bridal stores, and may even be more affordable. But we all know it comes with some risks.

This bride decided to take the chance. If the outcome of her online shopping escapades was not so funny it would be tragic.

The bride-to-be ordered what she thought would be a stunning lace dress with a cascading skirt. What she got, however, was much more comical. The dress, while it did somewhat resemble the picture’s lace and a cascading skirt, came with defining boob-cupholders.

Taking to instagram to share her misfortune, she wrote “Online order fail. Don’t worry though a new better dress has been purchased”.

The image she shared had her followers in stitches.

“Omg no way!!!! So funny, how could someone even ship that lol,” said @lizard17 in the comments. “Look on the bright side…you got yourself a Halloween costume now. Make the boob pads seashells and paint the dress green and boom you’re Ariel! Glad you were able to get a laugh out of this. Weddings can be stressful!,” said another follower, @dodgeret.

We can confirm that the bride replaced her dress with something much more fitting for the occasion:

Congrats to the bride! And for those of you brides-to-be considering online dress shopping, let this be a lesson in the risks involved.
