MANY brides and grooms spend hours choosing fancy food for their wedding guests.
However, one couple ditched the formal flair for a 'Finger Lickin' Good' spread that was a whole lot cheaper - and apparently went down well with guests.

Australian bride Monique Harris uploaded a video sharing how they had served KFC as the main course at their wedding reception.
Guests dined on chicken, fries, and even KFC's signature gravy, instead of the usual multi-course meal.
In a video on her @moniquexxharris account, which has racked up over 1.3million views, Monique shared: 'Told my husband we were having a 3 course sit down meal for the wedding.
'He said 'nah I want KFC catering.'
'Anyway here's him with his KFC buffet because it's his wedding too.'
Fair from being annoyed that she didn't get her way with the food, the bride said they had saved so much money in the process with the total coming to $800AU (£390).
Monique added: 'Was way cheaper than getting it catered and everyone loved it.
'$8AU (£3.89) per person compared to the $120 (£58) we kept getting quoted.'
Many people clearly loved the informal and tasty idea, with the video racking up over 130,000 likes.
One said: 'I'm showing this to my man he would LOVE THIS.'

Another added: 'I'd be thrilled if I was at this wedding!!'
Even KFC commented, saying: 'For better, or for buffet.'
However, some people weren't sure about the idea of dishing out fast food as a main meal at a wedding.
One wrote: 'cold dried up chicken and rock hard fries. should have went with the three course.'
MACCIES MEAL
We previously shared how a couple decided to arrange for 300 McDonald's cheeseburgers and 150 hamburgers to be delivered for their 450 guests as a late-night treat.
And the couple clearly share the same down-to-earth food tastes, as they even chowed down on some burgers on their way to their ceremony earlier the same day.
The cheeseburger acts as a romantic reminder for the pair, who shared their first meal together at McDonald's six years ago after they met clubbing with a mutual friend.
The couple had spent time planning for the delivery of the burgers, which they knew their guests would love, ordering the £700 burgers one month in advance.

KFC and Greggs tease collaboration as fast food fans go into meltdown
KFC and Greggs fans are convinced the two food giants are set to join forces and create a fast food masterpiece Whether it's a sausage roll, a quarter pounder, or a cheeky chicken wrap, Brits love fast food from time to time. As long as we eat such treats in moderation, there is nothing wrong with indulging in some convenience food. And now, British fast food fans are salivating over the possibility of an unexpected collaboration that could soon arrive on high streets nationwide. The excitement follows bakery giant Greggs teasing a potential partnership with KFC on social media. Across both Instagram and TikTok, Greggs posted a short clip showing one of its legendary sausage rolls being held against a KFC outlet's signage. Set to The Sundays' hit Summertime with the lyrics: "It's you and me in the summertime," the post was captioned: "Oddly satisfying. Is this a sign?" The post sparked wild speculation amongst eager food enthusiasts about what a possible tie-up between the two brands might involve. Responding on Instagram, one user wondered: "KFC inspired Chicken bake? Instead of creamy sauce in the current chicken bake it'll be KFC gravy? A KFC and gravy style bake? I'm invested," reports the Mirror. Another person speculated: "Or... 'Chicken Bake Royale' - a buttery Greggs pastry filled with KFC's crispy chicken pieces, creamy gravy, and sweetcorn – finished with a flaky top crust. Like a chicken bake on steroids." A third pleaded: "Arghhhhh stop teasing! What is it? Zinger roll? Tell me now." Meanwhile, a fourth Instagram user proposed: "Sausage roll covered in KFC batter and fried to perfection and served with a KFC gravy based chippy curry sauce." And a fifth person proclaimed: "Okay, dipping a Greggs sausage roll in KFC's gravy (I realise while typing this it sounds a bit NSFW)... game changer." While both companies have yet to officially confirm any partnership, KFC replied to Greggs' "oddly satisfying" comment by simply saying: "I agree." Throwing more petrol on the flames, Greggs then responded: "Fancy seeing you here." This marks only Greggs' second major high street tie-up, following their 2022 collaboration with fashion retailer Primark to launch a clothing collection dubbed 'Tasty'.

The exclusive range - marking a first in Greggs' 83-year trading history - landed in 60 Primark outlets nationwide during February of that year. At the time, Tim Kelly, Director of New Business Development at Primark, said: "We want to give our customers incredible experiences in our stores and offer collections they can't find anywhere else, with brands we know they love. "We're thrilled to have teamed up with Greggs to bring the Tasty Café to our Birmingham store and give fans of the brand the chance to get their hands on the limited-edition clothing range."

Who is Mitch Lane? The budget food guru helping families beat the cost of living
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIKTOK is the place to be if you are a foodie, with creators everywhere teaching doom scrollers how to cook. But while many of them are former award-winning, Michelin-trained, multi-hyphenated chefs, one self-taught home cook has garnered a major following. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mitch Lane was invited to appear at BBC Good Food Show in 2023 Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial Who is Mitch Lane? Mitch Lane is not like your average food TikToker. The dad of three is from Wolverhampton and has been posting his food-based content on social media since 2020. He is 32 years old and was previously a tool salesman in Walsall. His first post on his TikTok account was a mouthwatering Kinder Bueno, and from there, his platform grew. His first viral video came after he reconnected the famous McDonald's Big Mac from scratch, receiving over a million views on that alone. Since then, the proud Wolves Football Club fan has amassed over 1.2million loyal followers who stayed tuned to see his latest creation. His ethos is about helping people save, without scrimping on taste, and so Mitch has been praised for his honest and empathetic addressing of the current cost-of-living crisis. What are his books? Mitch has made it his mission to show busy parents how to cook on a budget, and he brought his TikToks to written form after releasing two cookbooks. 4 Mitch Lane has produced two cookbooks all around helping families save money Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial The self-taught chef authored his debut book, Feed Your Family For A Fiver, which was released in 2023. This book is packed full of easy, comforting, crowd-pleasing recipes that anyone can make on a budget, no matter your experience. From Tandoori Chicken Traybake to Budget Carbonara, Mitch makes life easy for his readers. The book received great acclaim, becoming a Sunday Times Bestseller. And so, he produced a follow-up in 2024, Feed Your Family For A Fiver – In Under 30 Minutes! 4 Mitch Lane released his second book in 2024 Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial Mitch spoke to the Sun previously about his motivations for his books. He said: 'I want all you busy, budget-conscious folk to enjoy tasty, comforting meals without breaking the bank. 'And with planning, you can make all these recipes within half an hour. 'Cheap and quick, it's what we need.' What is Mitch Lane doing now? Mitch attributes his success to Lockdown, as after being stuck indoors for months on end, he decided to start creating content. While he is an social media sensation, Mitch's life has not changed drastically. 4 Mitch Lane says not much has changed in his life, maintaining his day job Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial By day, he is still working as a hardware supplier, selling nuts and bolts, the same job he has had since I left school at 17. But he has still managed to meet his idols, as he was invited to appear at BBC Good Food Show in 2023 alongside The Hairy Bikers and Ainsley Harriott. He told The i Paper: "For my friends and family at home, I think it is both weird and exciting to see me achieving this success. "You don't tend to see people from Wolverhampton on the telly, so when one of us is on there, we really cheer each other on."
