KFC cater entire wedding with special fried chicken van and personalised buckets

A couple who love fried chicken had their entire wedding catered for by KFC.

Kate and Harrison Cann, from Queensland, Australia, fed their 150 wedding guests with a fried chicken truck and personalised buckets.

The pair thought it would only be right to have a KFC-themed wedding as their first date was in one of the firm's restaurants.

Friends and family threw confetti from chicken buckets over the happy couple as they walked down the aisle after exchanging vows.

The guests also tucked into a KFC-themed cake and listened to a Colonel Sanders wedding singer.

The fast food company chose to treat the couple to their dream wedding after they recorded a rap about their love of friend chicken.

According to The Sun , the Canns said: “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!

“Our friends and family were stunned when they arrived to find out it was actually our wedding day – and not just any wedding but a KFC Wedding!”

Kristi Woolrych, chief marketing officer at KFC Australia, said she was delighted the couple could share their love with their nearest and dearest over a bucket of fried chicken.

KFC is putting on weddings for the six couples that won their competition, with the Canns' ceremony last year being the first.

It comes after Bhut' Hector got down on one knee in front of his partner in a KFC restaurant in South Africa to propose.

A video shows him beaming as he offers the ring to his partner Nonhlanhla, who struggles to hold back the tears.

The moment was filmed by witnesses and shared on the official KFC South Africa Twitter account with an appeal to identify the newly-engaged pair.

It didn't take long for them to be pointed out and KFC have told their swarm of loyal fans online to stay tuned as they prepare to reveal the surprise they have in store for their #streetwisewedding.

The chain may find themselves a little late to the party, as the success of the video online has seen celebrities, companies and ordinary people pledging their services to ensure their big day is one the whole country will remember.

There's a battle on to host their honeymoon, with airline Kulula offering a fully complimentary holiday in Cape Town including flights and five nights accommodation, and Limpopo Tourism also offering to host their celebration free of charge.

Popular DJ Black Coffee let Bhut’ know he will take care of the suits for himself and his groomsman, and musician Zakes Bantwini is one of many wanting to appear, tweeting: "I want to offer my performance at the wedding for free. I love love!"

A small wedding planning service offered their expertise to sort the flowers and decor, and with plenty of others offering to help, the show of love all got a little bit too much for some.

"I’m literally in tears. Congratulations. I want to attend this wedding. It’s a must," sobbed one.

"Love wins! National wedding this!" another wrote.
