Couple weds at Taco Bell

I'd hate to smell the wedding reception!!  :bleed eyes:

'There's no stress': Couple weds at Taco Bell

NORMAL, Ill. – Wedding bells meant Taco Bell for Paul and Caragh Brooks.

Customers inside the fast-food restaurant continued to order tacos and burritos as the couple sat Friday in an orange booth at Taco Bell and exchanged vows.

"It's appropriate," groom Paul Brooks said. "It's an offbeat relationship."

Employees displayed hot sauce packets labeled with the words "Will you marry me?" They decorated the restaurant with streamers and balloons.

The bride wore a $15 hot pink dress and the entire wedding cost about $200. Several dozen guests looked on as the couple's friend, Ryan Green of Normal, administered the vows while wearing a T-shirt. He was ordained online.

"This is the way to go — there's no stress," said the groom's mother, Kathy Brooks.

Caragh Brooks, 21, of Australia, met Paul Brooks, 30, on an Internet dating Web site. They already had the same last name.

The couple wrote back and forth and talked on the phone for nine months before Caragh Brooks moved to the United States.

"We have the same brain, just in two bodies," Paul Brooks said. "We think alike in virtually every manner. We have the same interests, viewpoints."

He proposed on New Year's Eve and, because they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there.

"I would never have expected in my life in working here there would be a wedding," restaurant manager Carl Hamlow said.

The average cost of a wedding in Canada is $25,600 according to today's paper. I'd want something better than Taco Bell, but having an extra $25,400 entering into their lives together is probably going to reduce a lot of financial stress.

That's pretty awesome. Personally I really wouldn't care too much where I got married, maybe not a Taco Bell, but as long as the bride is happy with it, and I can see her in a pretty dress. There are very few things more beautiful than a pretty woman in a wedding dress (one would be that woman naked :P).

The epitome of class.

But seriously, as long as both people are happy with it, it really doesn't matter where they get married.
