Why have a wedding cake when you can have this

Post by Captain Tony »

RELISHING MARRIED LIFE

Tom and Kerry Watts' mammoth burger was nearly half a metre wide and weighed the equivalent of about 100 quarter pounders.

It was the highlight of the couple's wedding reception which was held at Zak's American diner in Norwich UK.

Firefighter Tom, 36, said: "Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day.

"I could not believe the size of the burger. It was just incredible. Everything has just been amazing. It was the best day ever."

Kerry, also 36, added: "We love burgers and thought it would be a bit of fun. It made the day even more special. We love chocolate too so we also had a chocolate cake."

It took butcher John Baxter a whole day to create and shape the giant burger which weighed 400oz when uncooked.

It had to be cooked for three hours and required three chefs to lift it out of the oven before it could be put into the specially made sesame seeded bun.

The bun alone weighed 5kg and staff had to cut it in half using a saw. The burger also featured 12 iceberg lettuces, 12 onions, 30 tomatoes, 48 slices of dill pickle, 2kg of cheese, a litre of ketchup and a litre of mayonnaise.

You think that is something special?

Here is the cake from our rehearsal dinner. The french fry bag was made out of white chocolate. The "lettuce" and "tomatoes" were gummy fruit.

RICH!!! Shame on you! The hubby looks like a big boy - but in reality they look average...they both look very happy!... I was just thinking if the s*x does not kill you on the honeymoon, the burger will! Right to the heart
