We go to the River Café a lot because it’s on the right side of town for us, though we do need to remortgage the house for the meal. Last week we went with Stanley [Tucci] and his wife Fi, who are very good friends of ours. We always let them order because they’re such foodies. That weird cheesy, garlicky pizza thing they bring out is unreal, and I had veal the other night and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

The shift means couples avoid complex rituals, such as endless rounds of toasting, and eliminates concerns about the weather for outdoor weddings. For instance, staff at Haidilao, the popular Chinese hotpot chain, will enthusiastically decorate the branch and sing wedding songs for the couple and the guests. At McDonald’s, which is already a popular venue for children’s birthday parties worldwide, couples can even have wedding bouquets made from McNuggets, adding nostalgia and fun to the nuptials. “One of my colleagues even humorously remarked that my wedding invitation was essentially a free hotpot meal voucher,” she said.
