If you're a big fan of McDonald's and you're about to get married,
do I have a deal for you?
But mostly, if you are a resident in Jakarta, which you probably aren't, but
if you are, get a load of this.
Apparently, McDonald's will cater your wedding for
a very low, low price, about 250 American dollars.
So McDonald's Indonesia posted this super appealing ad on their
Instagram with the slogan, make your wedding moments unforgettable.
So for 3.5 million Indonesian Rupias or 233 American dollars,
McDonald's Indonesia is selling wedding packages which come
with 100 chicken burgers and 100 four-packs of nuggets.
So, I mean, your guests won't go home hungry.
Four nuggies, that'll do it.
So there's that.
Yeah, go ahead.
>> So, first of all, if you serve filet fish to your wedding guests,
it will be unforgettable.
>> Definitely.
>> Fair enough.
>> Definitely.
>> But before we laugh too much at Indonesia.
>> I'm not laughing at Indonesia.
>> Right. >> I'm laughing at this
little marketing ploy.
>> I get you, but this might be coming to America soon,
given how ridiculously expensive our weddings are.
>> Yeah. >> And
how people can't afford any of that anymore.
>> Very true, very true.
Now, look, if the nuggies ain't your thing,
you're more of a cheeseburger person.
You can get 100 cheeseburgers and 100 chicken fingers instead.
Now, that means that a thrifty couple could invite 100 guests to their nuptials
and serve them each a nugget and sandwich combo at a price of $2 per person.
Why don't you just not have a wedding?
>> Or have, like, a backyard wedding where.
>> Backyard weddings are awesome.
>> Yeah, that's the trend of all trends now, and it's a logical one,
like, hey, to find a friend who has got a nice backyard and
don't pay $50,000 or some insane amount for a wedding.
Which now a lot of people are watching this going, people pay that much?
And a lot of people are watching going, people pay that little?
>> Yeah, totally.
I mean, it really depends on the kind of wedding you have, but no, look,
I'm gonna keep it real.
The people who have figured out weddings the best are my people, Armenians.
>> Yeah. I actually concur with this.
>> Yes, so here's what Armenians do.
>> Sorry, Turks.
>> Armenians force everyone else to pay for their wedding.
So what they do and I did this for my wedding, the invitation just makes
note of, like, if you are a fellow Armenian, it's an unspoken rule.
Everyone knows the gift is money, right?
That is the unspoken rule.
But since I married a Cuban guy, his side of the family doesn't necessarily know
that, and his friends don't necessarily know that.
So the invitation at the very bottom said, no boxed gifts,
which I think is a very classy way of saying, give us the money, okay?
>> We want the money, Lebowski, that's why we invited you to the wedding.
>> And the money directly went to pay for the wedding.
By the way, there was obviously still more that we had to pay,
which was totally fine, but it made the wedding that we wanted affordable.
>> Yeah, I thought you were gonna say Armenians weddings are awesome for
a different reason.
So if you've never been to one, they have the alcohol at the table.
>> They do.
>> The tons of alcohol just sitting in the middle of the table going,
what are you gonna do, not drink me?
>> Totally.
>> Okay, that's why I got so drunk and danced like crazy at our wedding, okay?
So that's number one.
Number two, they have delicious Armenian food.
So I don't even remember what I gave you.
I hope it wasn't a box gift.
>> No, you were very generous.
>> Thanks, God.
Okay, but if it went towards that alcohol and that food, well worth it.
Super fun, the dancing is great, et cetera.
And good traditions.
Turks don't have enough traditions at their weddings.
>> No, >> Sorry, you guys are gonna hate me.
>> That's not true, really?
>> No, I invented like you know what we did at my wedding?
We did the traditions of everyone else.
Like we jumped over a broom, we got carried on the chairs and
did the Havanaghila.
>> Yeah, we do that, too.
We didn't do it at my wedding mostly because I just didn't wanna plan anything
during the reception.
I just wanted to have fun.
We forgot to cut the cake before the photographers left.
>> Yeah, we were even gonna do Greek traditions.
We're not black, we're not Jewish, we're not any of those things.
So we were gonna break the place and stuff.
We just got too drunk and forgot.
>> Nice.
>> [LAUGH] Or we could have just gone to Indonesia and
all had a food coma over eating too many chicken nuggets.
>> Right, yeah.
You know, McDonald's chicken nuggets.
Not my fave.
I mean, they love to see me smile, so I still support McDonald's.
>> You finally got there.
>> I did, yes [LAUGH].
>> [LAUGH] Okay, well, this will certainly be a happy meal.
We can go all day.
>> We can go all day.
So, finally.
Okay, what is the cost of an average wedding?
Let's go to graphic six here.
The average wedding held in 2022,
including both the ceremony and reception, cost $30,000.
And that's according to the Knot.
Wedding prices balloon when couples invite more guests.
And the knot research states that the average budget was $256 per
person in 2022.
So look, the bottom of the invitation can say no boxed gifts.
Entry fee, $256 per person.
I'm just kidding, you shouldn't do that.
But, maybe.
>> So, look, it's fun to make fun.
I actually like McDonald's.
Plenty of fun, and I even like their filet of fish.
I'm kidding about making fun of it earlier, but look, man,
$256 per person in America versus $233 for
the whole damn wedding in Indonesia, McDonald's.
Starting to think about it.
>> I get it.
I totally get it.
>> Yeah.
