In elementary school there was a boy named Joel Burger and a girl named Ashley King. Since fifth grade, they've been dubbed 'Burger King'. All through high school, where they were on student council together, the nickname stuck.By the time they graduated high school and went to different colleges they decided they didn't want to let go of their high school friendship, so they started calling each other to keep in touch.

And then they realized they were meant to be together. Sigh. So sweet.

So they started on their journey to happily-ever-after...and, since the nickname stuck right through college, they continued to have fun with their Burger King name...to the point of taking pictures at one of the restaurant drive-thru signs to announce their engagement.

Well...the Burger King fast food chain found out about this love story and surprised Joel and Ashley by calling them to say they are going to pay for all of their wedding expenses and provide gifts for the big day! A Burger King spokesman says the company felt an overwhelming urge to help the happy couple.

The Burger-King nuptials will be held July 17th. Congrats!!!
