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.
WOW...I love taco bell so I had to post this. I don't love the place as much as these two though, They are really taking things to the extreme. Have these people ever heard of getting married at a place called City hall?! If this is where they got married, I don't wanna know where they're planning on honeymooning.
P.S..IF this article makes you hungry for taco bell, and you happen to eat there on your lunch break..refer to the how to poop at work guide.

...So...many...questions. *head explodes*
ReplyDeleteSo many excerpts from this article have ruined my life:
Hot sauce packets labeled with the words Will You Marry Me? How is that even possible? Do you know how small those packets are? How were the words even visible? Maybe they meant they shaped the hot sauce packets to look like words.
Why did they have to put the price of her dress, lol?
"They already had the same last name" *dead*
Honeymoon at Coldstone Creamery, holla!
LMAO @ coldstone creamery
