But when the groom, who works as a photographer, shared a clip of the celebration on social media, the couple received a backlash.
Viewers took to the video’s comments section to criticize the newlyweds for their choices.
People criticized the couple for not serving their guests “quality food” and for being “cheap.”

Another said: ‘Guys, stop! it’s not a matter of going to the wedding for dinner. But McDonald’s, what?’
However, the couple have since defended their decision to local media. They told reporters they did it because “it was cheaper” and wanted food that everyone liked.
The bride, who works as a marketing assistant, shared Le Parisien newspaper: ‘We have looked at the prices of some caterers, but I am a picky eater.

People criticized the couple for not serving their guests “quality food” and for being “cheap.”
‘I was afraid we were going to pay for something we didn’t like. If you’re going to pay, you might as well get something you like.”
Others defended the couple, saying they thought this was better than wasting thousands of people on one meal.
One person said: ‘I’d rather eat McDonald’s at my wedding than go into 25 years of debt for a wedding.’
Another said: ‘Finally people who can have the wedding they want without going into debt can show off. To be happy!’
Someone else said: ‘I love people, they don’t understand that a real wedding should reflect the image of the bride and groom, I think it’s fine as long as they are happy.’
