Portion of chicken nuggets from your own pocket
After the ceremony at the church, the couple drove to McDonalds, with their 28 guests following. “We waited in the parking lot for everyone to arrive, and then drove through the McDrive one by one. We were at the front of the queue with our rented Volkswagen van. I ordered a menu with chicken nuggets and Daan had a Big Mac ”, Mariska laughs.

And how beautiful is that, then I can just wear that wedding dress a second time. ”
