Imperial, California - Joel, 24, and his bride to be, Ashley, 23, of New Berlin, Illinois have been an item ever since kindergarten.  So, it was no surprise they decided to tie the knot after all those years.  But the reception they got when they announced their wedding made them the celebrity couple of the day, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Mr. Burger and Ms. King announced their betrothal by posting an engagement photo in front of their local Burger King restaurant.

It's not known whether she'll take his name after the nuptials or to opt for a trendy hyphenated surname.  It's a good bet that the hamburger chain would love to have Ashley start calling herself Mrs. Burger King.

The company is overjoyed with the news and is picking up the tab for the marriage celebration.  A spokesperson confirmed the company's delight, announcing that  "Burger King wants to help give you a whopper of a wedding."
