Do fries go with that vow? McMarriage

Do you want fries with those vows?
Ken Sinchar and Lori Sherbondy have heard that and every other fast-food joke since they announced their plans to marry at a McDonald’s drive-thru in North Huntingdon Township - the place where they fell in love four years earlier.
Sinchar on Monday night rolled through the drive-thru in his white minivan, just as he had done day after day, hoping to chat with “that blue-eyed brunette named Lori.”
But on this night, Sinchar rolled down his window, Sherbondy slid open hers and the couple grabbed hands as a district judge announced them husband and wife.
Sinchar was expecting to pick up a Big Mac, not a date, when he pulled through the Norwin Towne Shopping Center McDonald’s years ago.
“I didn’t used to go for fast food, but I looked at that woman in the window, and wow! I came back every lunchtime after that,” said Sinchar, a 38-year-old floor installer.
Sherbondy, 42, who’s worked at the restaurant for eight years, said Sinchar made an impression, too.
“He’s the only man I ever flirted with. It got to where everyone in the store knew when it was 12:15, when my Hamburger Happy Meal Man was coming through,” Sherbondy said.
The North Huntingdon Township couple had considered getting married at a resort or in Las Vegas before Sherbondy came up with the drive-thru idea. The owner of the restaurant was hesitant at first, but eventually said yes.
“People might think that we’re goofy and odd and all that, but it’s really meant for us,” Sherbondy said. “The transactions that we had through the window just meant a lot, so this means a lot.”
