Some people have all the cluck.
Sorry, we mean “luck”.
When Canadian man Mike Hovak started thinking about what to get his wife Angela for the 15th wedding anniversary, there was only one thing on top of his list: some finger-lickin’ good chicken from his favourite fast food chain.
True love!

Angela had agreed to let Mike have KFC at their wedding reception all those years ago, as she recounted to CBC News.
“Mike ordered 500 pieces,” she said. “Everybody that was invited to the wedding was more excited about the KFC than our wedding.”
Keen to keep the KFC tradition alive, Mike found he had his work cut out for him this year, as their nearest chicken outlet had closed last year.
Mike said:
“So during March break, me and my son got up early one morning, drove 700 kilometres, picked up 15 buckets of KFC and drove 700 kilometres back — in one day.”
He reckons he clocked up 1,400km (870 miles) worth of petrol, and splashed out $600 (around £320) on the food.
But Mike says it was totally worth the effort. “We have to keep traditions alive. 15 years. Why stop now?”
The good news for the couple is that the Canadian branch of KFC is aware of the deed, as evidenced by this RT:
Could there be a lifetime supply on its way to them? Or a Nando’s-esque Black Card?
What more is there to say about this story than..
