This Smashburger location in Aurora was the setting for a wedding reception on Saturday.

It's spring and love is in the air, as is the smell of grilled meat.

This past Saturday, a couple became the latest in the curious trend of couples getting hitched -- or holding their receptions -- at fast food restaurants. "Whoa there!" you might say. "Smashburger is a quick-service restaurant, not fast food!" You may be correct, but that feels like splitting hairs when you're wearing a bridal gown mere feet from a deep fryer.

Congrats, and enjoy those burgers.
