Giant Wedding Burger

It's not a wedding cake shaped like a burger, but simply, a giant burger in place of the central wedding cake. Tom and Kerry Watts of Poringland, England, served a 19 kilogram (42 pound) cheeseburger at their wedding reception made by American restaurant min-chain, Zaks. "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," said Tom Watts.

How was this behemoth of meat and bun made?

It took butcher John Baxter, from Burgers Plus, in Norwich, a whole day to create and shape the giant beef patty, weighing 400oz when uncooked, from Zaks' secret recipe. [...]
The bun weighed 5kg and staff had to cut it in half using a saw.
Then, to finish off the fast food masterpiece, it was garnished with 12 iceberg lettuces, 12 onions, 30 tomatoes, 48 slices of dill pickle, and 2kg of cheese, along with a litre of ketchup and a litre of mayonnaise.

Two kilograms of cheese. That's true love. Congratulations to the happy couple! (BBC News has a video featuring the burger, but it's not playable in the US.)
