In 2015, a heartwarming and hilarious love story captured the internet's attention — and it all started with a name.
Joel Burger and Ashley King, a sweet couple from Illinois, had no idea their last names would lead to a royal surprise. When they announced their engagement, fans on social media couldn't stop laughing — together, they were quite literally Burger King.
What began as a viral moment turned into something even more unbelievable. The actual Burger King fast-food chain got wind of the couple’s story and decided to make their wedding one to remember. The company stepped in and offered to pay for the entire event, covering everything from flowers to food and décor.
The twist? Joel and Ashley had no clue this was coming. During a casual Skype interview, the brand surprised the lovebirds with the announcement — and their genuine reaction made the moment even more unforgettable.
Talk about a royal wedding! With a name combo that was just too perfect to ignore, the Burger King couple didn’t just get internet fame — they got the wedding of their dreams, all thanks to a brand that couldn’t resist the pun.
Love, laughter, and burgers — now that’s a recipe for happily ever after. 🍔💍👑
