What's in a name? Sometimes when you mash-up two separate names the jokes just write themselves, and you end up with the Burger-King wedding.

Joel Burger and Ashley King are marrying in July in Jacksonville, Illinois. They stood next to a Burger King sign in their engagement photo.

King tells the State Journal Register that she met Joel in kindergarten during a yo-yo assembly at school.

"We had a yo-yo assembly," Ashley remembers when interviewed by the State Journal Register. "I just remember they had a bunch of yo-yos. The guy at the assembly was a motivational speaker, and he used yo-yos."

After that man was finished with his motivational speech, he asked the two fifth-grade (student council) representatives to stand up as he wanted the students to applaud the efforts King & Burger did in helping set up his event.

"As soon as he said, 'Joel Burger and Ashley King,' he started to laugh out loud,"  King continued, "And pronounced we were 'Burger King'. We have yet to escape the teasing, but we have fully embraced our nickname."
