Alexz Siprian and Danny Martinez embraced their sorrows during a “sad-lebration” portrait session at their local Whataburger on Saturday, mySA.com reports. The Temple couple wore black and “channeled their emo side” to commemorate the day they hoped to say “I do,” per the outlet. The future Mr. and Mrs. wore Whataburger face masks, fed each other French fries and snuggled up together in a booth in the pictures by South Oak Photography.

"I was honestly so, so sad when we decided to postpone our wedding," the bride-to-be explained. "I tear up just thinking about it, but we knew it was for the best because we both want all of our guests at our wedding."

"Whataburger was our comfort food that day. We sure ate our feelings away,” Siprian said of the weekend photo fun. “But jokes aside, now we have memories on a day that was supposed to be a special day for us."

To that end, the photography business joked on Facebook that the unforgettable pictures were “so 2020, y’all!”
In a larger sense, Texans seem to have a whole lot of love for the classic burger chain; other fans have staged photo shoots at Whataburger in honor of prom and Halloween.
