Adam Mandel’s love of goes way back to long before he met his wife, Whitney Wicker.
“I’m from New York, so I have been eating White Castle my entire life,” Adam says.
A Texas native, Whitney had only ever eaten the frozen White Castle burgers you can buy at grocery stores before she met Adam. He was working as a photographer on the road with a musician, and she was a promoter for one of the shows. The first time they visited his hometown together, that was the first place he took her.
Since there are no White Castles in Fort Worth, Texas, where they live now, every time they go back to New York, White Castle is always their first stop.

Since White Castle handled the entire wedding planning process along with , all Whitney and Adam had to do was pick what items they wanted served off the menu and tell White Castle what kind of music they liked and the cake flavor they wanted.
“White Castle handled the rest and it turned out better that we could have imagined,” Adam says.
While Whitney and Adam’s parents were a little shocked when their kids first told them about their wedding venue, they came around to the idea once they saw just how beautiful a White Castle wedding could be.
“I think seeing everything decorated and how well the White Castle team put everything together took any nervous feelings they had about their children getting married in a fast food restaurant right away,” Adam says. “By the end of the night everyone came up to us telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.”
