Love Blossoms at McDonald's in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO – A heartwarming romance has emerged from the fast-food scene in Sacramento, where Joseph Gomez and Abby Armienta, both former employees of McDonald's, have turned their workplace connection into a lifelong commitment. Their love story began six years ago amidst the hustle of serving McNuggets and McFlurries, as their coworkers recognized a spark between them and decided to play matchmakers. The couple's journey took an unexpected turn when their colleagues organized a team bonding event at the movies, which inadvertently became their first date. "Nobody shows up except for Abigail and I," Gomez recalled, describing how they were "booby-trapped" into a blind date. This serendipitous encounter marked the beginning of their relationship, which has flourished over the years. As they prepare to tie the knot this September, the couple is excited to celebrate their love with the same coworkers who played a pivotal role in their union. Roseville McDonald's owner Jordan Ruiz noted that Gomez and Armienta are not the first couple to find love under the iconic golden arches, suggesting that such romances are a delightful tradition within the fast-food community. While their days of serving happy meals have come to an end, Gomez and Armienta are now looking forward to a new chapter in their lives, one that promises a happy ending filled with love and companionship.
