    Couple Gets Married 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.

    Man, and I thought getting married on the bridge of the Enterprise was odd.

    Yeah, I've been on the tour in Vegas. >_<

    I can think of a few slightly more romantic places like a public toilet or an alley behind a porno theatre, but whatever makes you happy I suppose...

    I think its cool. She is hot too!

    A couple of years later, she will want a "Real" wedding. I'm sure this will happen.

    Sounds more like a little fat kids Birthday Party event.

    she sounds like a keeper. Smoking hot and doesn't want to spend a ton on the wedding? That begs the question, does she have a twin sister?

    I used to taunt my friends who were dating that I'd pay for their Star Trek Wedding. (no one took me up on the offer). I can't do it anymore though since they closed the Experience down.

    I think it's kind of cool that they're not afraid to express how much they just don't give a shit about the whole wedding custom thing.

    I can only wish I could meet a woman who would marry me in a taco bell.

    No one else has commented that this took place in an area called NORMAL, Illinois??? This seems completely retarded and abnormal to me. Whatever floats your boat though I guess. Spending 200 bucks on a wedding is cheap as shit, and they, if they stay together anyway, will have a pretty out-there story to tell the kids one day.

    I would like to reiterate that Taco Bell is the best restaurant ever.

    Knowing the average cost of a US wedding is about $25,000 makes the bride just that much precious. Keep in the mind that the $25,000 doesn't include the price of ring and honeymoon right after.

    I drove over a nail [or something] a few months ago as I craved fast food at like 11pm.. So I went through the Taco Bell drive through and : pop! : right as I was leaving the drive through lane... cant get ur tire fixed in the middle of the night. Never been back to Taco Bell since!
