The bride and groom posed in paper crowns from burger chain, and the grooms wore Burger King T-shirts under their suits, the New York Daily news reported.

The couple made international headlines earlier this year when the childhood sweethearts snapped a photo of them in front of a Burger King sign and announced they were getting hitched.

And then, a representative from Burger King called and said the wedding was on them and paid for a whopper of a wedding for the couple, it reported.

"When we heard about the happy Burger-King couple, we felt an overwhelming urge to celebrate their upcoming marriage," spokesman Eric Hirschhorn said.

King is taking her husband's last name, so she is now a Burger.

"But it will forever be Burger King," the new husband said after the ceremony.
