The love of these two is as hot as a bacon double cheeseburger.
A couple in Illinois will be tying the knot and cementing themselves as fast food royalty all at once. The wedding between Joel Burger and Ashley King will be billed as Burger-King, the State Journal-Register reports.
Burger, 24, and his sweetheart King, 23, were close friends in high school but didn't start dating until college. Though the couple has been teased for their whopper of a name, they aren't letting any annoyances ketchup with them.
“We have yet to escape the teasing,” King told the publication. “But we have fully embraced our nickname.”
Please invite us to your wedding, Burger-King. We'll bring the fries.

Waiting to see if the real Burger King franchise gets in on this. Nothing like good ol' free publicity.

Burger King is paying the expenses and providing gifts for the wedding of an Illinois couple with an interesting connection to the fast food restaurant chain.
School sweethearts Joel Burger and Ashley King have been known as Burger-King since they were in the fifth grade together, in New Berlin near Springfield.
The couple announced their engagement this spring with a photo next to the sign at a local Burger King restaurant.
Although a woman's name usually comes first in an engagement announcement, they decided to flip their names.
A Burger King spokesman says the company felt an overwhelming urge to help the happy couple celebrate their upcoming marriage.
The Burger-King nuptials will be held on 17 July in nearby Jacksonville.

Bet McDonald's is wishing someone with the last name of Ronald and another with McDonald was getting hitched to send some PR their way.
