Couple marries at jerky wedding: ‘Calling all meat heads’
There’s nothing like a “meat cute” — especially when it involves falling in love over pork jerky.
A couple from the UK experienced love at first bite over their shared fondness for the cured sausage snack Peperami, deciding to take their love for each other — and the cured meat snack — to the next level, tying the knot in a meat-themed wedding.
“We take it along with us on days out, enjoy it during movie nights and we even have a stash of it on our bedside table so we can easily reach for it from our bed,” Francesca Brooke-Fenton, 37 told NeedToKnow.online.
“It’s fair to say we are obsessed with the snack!” her now-husband Luke Hindmarsh, 33, added. “I proposed last New Year’s Eve during a hotel stay at a fancy Harrogate hotel whilst Francesca was pregnant.”
The pair recently welcomed a son, Cielo, to their family and couldn’t wait to tie the knot in a very unique way.
The pair said they always wanted to do something a bit “crazy” when they got married, but weren’t sure how — until they thought about the contents of their kitchen cupboard.

“Peperami played a big part of the start of our relationship — we both are genuinely in love with the snack, so it made perfect sense to us to have it become center for our big day,” Brooke-Fenton gushed.
“I contacted the company about a month ago and expressed our long-lasting obsession for the brand. They agreed to help us plan our dream wedding — we couldn’t believe our luck!”

The pair put out an invitation “calling all meat heads” to their Peperami-themed wedding — a nod to their favorite meat snack.
The meat theme extended to all areas of the wedding, with the bride donning a punk style dress inspired by the Peperami wrapper and ditching the traditional floral arrangement for a bouquet stuffed with the spicy sausage.
All Peparami dreams were included — including a Peperami in costume and a giant meat shaped cake which incorporated the mascot.
The newlyweds said their guests loved the unique nuptials, adding that their families share their love for the quintessential British snack.

“My mom was over the moon when I told her, she said it sounded fantastic. We just want them to experience a unique wedding with us, rather than some of the boring celebrations they’ve been to in the past,” Brooke-Fenton said.
“My friends and family haven’t been too surprised at all they know how much I love Peperami, they all love it too,” ” Hindmarsh agreed.
