When your love is as a big as a Bacon & Cheese Whataburger ... where else would you go?

See below to learn more about each Whatawedding couple, including photos from their celebrations in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Houston, College Station, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie, and head here to learn more about the vow renewals!

Dylan and Sharon were both students at the University of Texas at Austin when they met ... and learned they were both fans of stopping in for their favorite Whataburger meal after a night out.

A native of Corpus Christi, Sharon has a unique tie to our two-story Whataburger by the Bay location. Her older sister had her wedding rehearsal dinner at this location almost ten years ago, and her younger sister had her post-wedding celebration at the very same restaurant. As the middle child, Sharon knew she and Dylan could keep this true-love tradition alive!

Devin and Lesley met online, where she dazzled him with what he calls “her strong meme game.” Both first responders, the couple bonded over their desire to help people and their night shift work schedules. Not to mention late-night trips to Whataburger. It became a staple in their diet and on their dates. Devin has two kids who enjoy "Water Burger" just as much as they do.

According to them, being surrounded by orange and white on their big day was the Spicy Ketchup on top of the #1!

Colton and Viviane’s story started off like any good modern love story. They swiped right. They met at Whataburger.

And here they are.

Since they first connected, the couple has supported one another through new jobs and several moves – including an out-of-state adventure for Viviane. Through it all, Whataburger has been a constant. Each time Viviane arrived back in Texas to visit Colton, Whataburger was her first stop. It is, she says, her taste of home.

Texas, and a new career, called Viviane back home – and she and Colton decided to begin their latest adventure as newlyweds. While discussing venues, they heard about our Whatawedding contest and knew it was meant to be!

Xander and Amy had their first date at Whataburger – curled up in a booth and talking for hours on end.

It was a natural first date spot for Xander, whose coworkers had nicknamed him “Whataburger” because, well, he was always eating Whataburger. Since then, Xander has taken Amy’s three boys under his wing, earning a new nickname: “Xandad.”

Xander encouraged Amy to return to school, and proudly attended her graduation ceremony this past December, with celebratory Whataburger in hand. As the couple began planning their wedding, Amy heard about the Whataweddings contest – and took a chance entering the couple as a surprise. It paid off – and the couple is heading to their happily ever after … with plenty of extra fries.

As part of our Whataweddings celebration, we invited couples to renew their wedding vows at one of six Whataburger locations across Texas. Hundreds of couples showed up to take part in the ceremonies and then share a #1 with their #1.

After all, the next best thing to saying “We got married at Whataburger!” is “We got REmarried at Whataburger!”

In this case, that meant getting his best buds together for a bro breakfast with a twist.

The crew has been friends since their college days at Texas A&M University, when – Josh says – “Whataburger was always there for us. Whether it was 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning or 2 a.m. on a Saturday night.” (Check them out in their Aggie gear!)

So when it came time to ask the old gang to stand up at his wedding, Josh knew just where to get everyone together. He worked with the Whataburger team at a store in Pearland, Texas (just outside of Houston) to take his event to the next level. “These guys are a huge part of our lives. I wanted to do this the right way,” he says.

After everyone sat down, Whataburger Family Members brought out special boxes for everyone – instead of all the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits the group was expecting.

Once they helped each other figure out how to get the ribbons off, each prospective groomsman opened the box to find a collection of Whataburger-branded items from Whataburger.com/shop, as well as some fishing gear. “When I think about good times with my friends, I think about fishing, and I think about Whataburger,” Josh says.

Josh picked out Whataburger socks for the groomsmen to wear during the ceremony, as well as Whataburger-branded Yeti tumblers to keep their drinks cold at the reception.

“We’ll be using these Yetis for the bachelor party. And it’s going to be awesome,” says Berkay Basagaoglu, who will be best man at the Sept. 22 event.

After “the ask” – and some reminiscing between the guys about college pranks involving turtle races, oversized donut pillows, and mosquito-ridden weekend jaunts – the Whataburger team brought out their real breakfast orders and let the friends dive in.

Life after college is a little more complicated … Josh works in San Antonio, his best man is in med school in Houston, and other friends are scattered around the state. But they stay in touch via Snapchat and, sometimes, “obsessively calling until they pick up,” says groomsman Devin Haley.

“These guys keep me accountable,” Josh says. “And on the flip side, they’re fun and caring – and if there is anything I need in my life, they’re always there for me.”

As a society reporter at the Houston Chronicle, Amber Elliott is one of the first people to know about up-and-coming wedding trends.

So when she noticed couples incorporating Whataburger into their big day – whether it was late-night food deliveries or wedding party gifts – she knew something was brewing.

“Whataweddings have been catching on,” Elliott says. “Brides are really starting to personalize their weddings.”

That sparked an idea for Elliott and the editorial team at the Houston newspaper. When the Chronicle held a photo shoot featuring three brides in high-end gowns last wedding season, they provided a little Whataburger flavor.

That meant taking cues from recent Houston weddings: orange-and-white stainless steel tumblers to keep bridesmaids going as they dance the night away, Whataburger sunglasses for the Instagram-perfect look, and – of course – a few Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits for late-night fuel.

The result? A unique blend of beauty and biscuits with a playful, southern vibe.

“We created a fantasy here,” Elliott says. “Not everyone can afford a dress that costs the same as a (car). So it’s good to see those things juxtaposed with something you can go out and get right now. It’s a bit of fantasy and a bit of real Texas roots in a wedding story, which is unexpected.”
