Story behind the song
A friend thought she saw a wedding reception at a local fast food restaurant. This country flavored tune emerged a short time later.
Lyrics
It was just a fast food wedding, but they could not find a beef His heart was surely stolen, and she had been its thief They stood at the drive in window as the grill man took their vow It was just a Wendy’s wedding, but they got married anyhow It was just a fast food marriage, for a while things were fine It was not the most nutritious, but their hunger did decline It was a time for being thrifty, not a time for chowing down It was just a Wendy’s wedding, the only one in town It was just a Wendy’s wedding, but then things began to slide Sort of like a low fat burger, with no fries on the side She could be content with water when he was thinking, “double shake” Who’ d have thought that Wendy’s wedding would soon lead their hearts to break At first the years were friendly, with no peak he could not climb Faster cars and bigger houses, taking one step at a time, but Each step that he ventured left her one more step behind It had been a fast food wedding, now dessert was on his mind It had been a fast food wedding, but she finally found a beef When she said that she was leaving he felt something like relief But he soon got indigestion when she waltzed him into court That was no fast food lawyer, who left him out of sorts What was once a Wendy’s wedding now a seven course divorce.
