I was set on a 3-course meal for our wedding but my KFC loving hubby won & we had a fast food buffet of fried chicken
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.

K Mak at the Planetarium review – cosmic trip into the void
'I'll leave you with the cosmos,' Australian singer Kathryn McKee – or K Mak – whispers dreamily at the start of this ethereal but oddly muted gig. A globe of light emerges and vaguely spacey projections beam around the band as their electro-classical orchestration soars into life. From there, with no other interaction with the audience, the show struggles to gain much velocity. Freeze any moment of this performance and the snippet of synth-infused symphony you catch will have an otherworldly beauty. But in the room, with the band squashed awkwardly against the back wall so as to be caught in the projection's light, the energy is halting. The action feels untethered from the space we occupy together, neither party quite sure what to expect from or offer the other. The instruments are an easy extension of their players, the irrefutably accomplished musicians on drums, violin and cello sometimes closing their eyes as they lose themselves in the mournful music. The voice of K Mak, who is also on keys, comes to us first with heavy synths, her voice high and alien, her lyrics taking effort to unpick. Then she strips back the modulations to give us her voice unfiltered, her just-discernible words of love and longing making it equally possible that she's speaking as a person as she is a star. Behind the performers, psychedelic projections veer from micro to macro, from abstract and tangible, with globular molecules and rushing comets colliding as if tilted through a kaleidoscope. These trippy visuals have the most impact when they feel tailored to the music, a burning flame around a black hole pulsating in time with the beat of a drum. But moving on to images of bouncing jellyfish and unfurling flowers, they begin to seem compiled at random. Losing any connection to outer space, they threaten to tip into the abstract bounce of a desktop screensaver. The music may be cosmically calming, but this performance lacks the intensity required to either truly ground or transport you.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori as you've NEVER seen her before in old modelling photos
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori has been making waves with her shocking, risque style since marrying the controversial rapper in December 2022. Censori, 30, who West, 48, previously claimed 'can't wear anything without his approval', showed off a vastly different look in a never-before-seen modelling shoot before her rise to fame. The Australian architect - who memorably went naked on the 2025 Grammys red carpet earlier this year - sported long brunette locks as she modelled for her friend's small clothing brand. In contrast to her flesh-flashing displays, Censori wore relatively demure looks including a strapless top, jeans and a plunging halter. In another snap she modelled athleisure wear and a black bralette as she gazed into the distance. Censori's most shocking style stunt came with her outrageous naked red carpet display at the Grammys - where she went completely naked under a sheer dress, exposing her breasts and genitals. The stunt made global headlines and many of Kanye's followers were quick to accuse the rapper of being 'abusive' and 'controlling' while using his wife's body 'as clout'. Addressing the backlash amid a vile anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic rant in February, West claimed that he has 'dominion' over Censori but insisted he would never force her to wear anything she didn't feel comfortable in. He tweeted: 'I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T SHES WITH A BILLIONAIRE WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB A** BROKE B*****S. 'PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID A** WOKE PAWNS. 'I HAVE NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY FOR ANY ONE LIVING CAUSE NO ONE LIVING CAN F**K WITH ME BUT I DO LOVE SOME PEOPLE AND I GIVE THEM FAVOR. [sic]' He carried on his rant in the early hours, penning: Anyone who called my wife's Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame yes youuuu. 'She been dressing naked for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it's a stunt. Every single b***h on the planet wish they had her bravery body platform and access to money and a husband that supported they personal expression. 'There are a lot of things that had to converge for this moment to happen.' Censori recently shared more naked snaps taken by her rapper husband Since Kanye married Bianca fans have expressed concern over her wellbeing, with the Australian architect continuously seen parading around in various states of undress. During the Grammy Awards, Bianca stepped onto the carpet clad in a furry black coat before theatrically dropping the garment and flashing her bare bottom to photographers. She turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while Kanye - nominated in the Best Rap Song category - leered at her nude body during the incident of indecent exposure. Kanye, who was fully clothed, was seen issuing commands to Bianca. Lip reader, Nicola Hickling went on to state that Kanye said: 'You're making a scene now.' She nodded her head and he told her: 'Make a scene, I'll say it'll make so much sense.' He added: 'Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.' She then tells him: 'Alright, let's go.' It was claimed last month that Kanye chooses her daring looks to not only aid in keeping his 'edgy persona' but to also show that his wife is 'the sexiest woman alive', according to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun. The source stated that while some of the outfits she wears in public 'aren't to her taste' - she has since learned how to make it an 'advantage.' 'Bianca has figured out how to turn all this into her advantage. A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste. But she tells him she will wear them - if she's paid.' The Heartless rapper had allegedly offered Bianca a salary wage to don head-turning ensembles, but she turned that down, and instead requested that she be paid based on each look. The source added that they believe Bianca has made around $3 million due to the deal and said, 'She's essentially monetizing her image.' She was reportedly paid $120k to wear was the naked dress ensemble at the Grammys.

Greggs and KFC's new sausage roll with gravy
Greggs and KFC have teamed up to create the 'culinary crossover of the century', also known as a sausage roll drenched in 'liquid gold' gravy. Launching this week, the high street food giants have worked together for the first time to offer the Greggs sausage roll with KFC gravy, claiming it is the 'mash-up the nation's been craving' and 'seriously flavoursome'. The brands said the alliance followed Britons consuming 15,000 litres of KFC gravy and more than one million Greggs sausage rolls every day over the past year. A post shared by Greggs (@greggs_official) Greggs and KFC announced they are taking the new combination on a three-day tour from Thursday, August 7, handing it out for free in London. This will be followed by more dates, including Manchester on August 8 and Newcastle on August 9. The tour will stop at London's Southbank Centre on Thursday, followed by Manchester's St Anne's Square on Friday and then Newcastle's Times Square, all between 12pm and 5pm, with supplies available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, a sharing bucket including six Greggs sausage rolls and a large tub of KFC gravy will be available for £10 on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16 through Uber Eats in London, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham. Is this the Greggs and KFC collab you have always wanted? (Image: Greggs/PA Wire) The news comes after Greggs and KFC teased a collaboration yesterday (August 5), which certainly got fans excited, as Greggs posted a video on social media of a sausage roll being held up in front of a KFC store. It was captioned: 'Is this a sign?' Taking to the comments of the Instagram post, trying to guess the foodie announcement, this person wrote: 'KFC inspired Chicken bake? Instead of creamy sauce in the current chicken bake it'll be KFC gravy? A KFC & Gravy style bake? I'M INVESTED.' Someone added: 'KFC Chicken & Cheese melt?' One shared: 'This would blow my MIND AHHH.' KFC brand manager Phoebe Syms commented: 'At KFC, we bleed gravy. We go to obsessive lengths for our liquid gold, and so do our fans.
