You May Now Kiss The Bride's Taco......

First there was the amazingly elegant Waffle House wedding from last year and now we have the almost equally as hot Taco Bell wedding from this past weekend. Why don't I ever get invited to classy affair like these?

Paul and Caragh Brooks decided they should get married at a Taco Bell in Normal, Illinois because their relationship has always been kind of weird and they like spending time there. They met on a dating website while Caragh was living in Australia. And she doesn't even have to change her last name, because she's always been a Brooks.

The Taco Bell didn't even close for a couple of hours while the wedding was going on. So while they were exchanging vows about love and shit, customers were ordering Nachos Bellgrandes and Enchiritos. It's actually kind of fitting.

The bride wore a hot pink $15 dress. They decorated the joint with balloons and streamers. The employees wore hot sauce packets with the words "Will You Marry Me?" on them. The whole wedding cost around $200.

This shit still sounds way more luxurious and decadent than any Spears wedding.

At least I know exactly what I would order at the reception: a Mexican pizza, a pintos n' cheese and a chalupa supreme. I hope Tums hosted the fucking after party. Instead of throwing rice, the guests threw farts. And I'm sure Paul not only ate a taco at the reception, but also ate one later in their marital bed at the nearest Super 8. With extra hot sauce of course.

Below is a video of this shit. You know Caragh is thinking, "I don't give a fuck if we married in a truck stop bathroom as long I don't have to work anymore!"


Thanks Kath

ILovePapaSmurf, San Berdoo? Well there you go. I don't eat in San Berdoo. I would only go to Robertos in San Diego county. And now that I have a kid I don't eat fast food much. But I don't order rice! If I want rice I go to a sit down place. If I was drunk in my younger years and needed nachos, I would drive through robertos. Like alot of people in San Diego. Never taco hell though.

See, that's when I think I should go into some wedding-related service or product. You can charge double because lots of women lose all reason when it comes to their "special day". Black garter belt set? $100. White "wedding night" garter belt set with hearts and dove detailing? $500.

But then you have to deal with entitled, crazed, stressed-to-the-max bridezillas, so maybe not...

I LOVE Taco Bell and Waffle House! Great place for a wedding! Why the fuck not? If they mop the floors prior it might not be so bad.
I got married in Las Vegas at a chapel with a drive thru window. The entire wedding cost $200 including video and photos. I paid $100 for my dress off a David's Bridal clearance rack. My husband rented his tux for $75.
And we are still extrememly happy to be married 13 years later.

ILovePapaSmurf yes, but it is still better than Taco Bell. And I don't live near Olvera street. Besides I go maybe once or twice a year for "mexican" fast food. Very rare."

I don't live near Olvera Street either, but if I am a hungray for it, I'll drive an hour to eat their yummy rice.

I went to an Albertos in San Berdoo, Calif. and it was awful. I ended it up feeding the food to roaches that were tunneling through bushes outside the restaurant. Ugh, sooo gross.

This will be my second marraige. The first time I did it, I phoned my fiance, asked what he was doing on Thursday after 1pm, and said meet my ass at the courthouse. He did. In the background you could hear convicts at the jail yelling about movies. Now...that was cheap.

They must be spending all their cash on the honeymoon. Methinks Navy Pier in Chicago? They can sip on lemonade and dine on corn dogs while cruising Lake Michigan on a Sea Dog.

Hahahahaha I went to college in Normal and have been to that Taco Bell about 23983924 times. Love it.

My friend got married in October and spent over $8,000 on a freaking "videographer." When I think about all the things I could spend $8,000 on, a Taco Bell wedding sounds pretty damn good.

The thing with Taco bell is its made people think that mexican's only eat overly processed super fattening tacos, burritos, "mexican pizza", and nachos. And that they all have chihuahua as pets.

It isn't so? :(

Why go to Taco Hell, when you can go to Robertos, Albertos, filibertos, etc etc. Well in Ca you can."

Albertos is so fucking greasy. I can't stand the shit. Seriously.

If you're looking for great Mexican food in Los Angeles, stop by El Paso (sp?) on Olvera street. Two Snaps!

Yeah. I'm just too practical. Our wedding cost barely anything - our reception was a small lunch for our family at a lovely little restaurant after a quick ceremony in a park. It was very low-key and intimate, very nice, very inexpensive.

Although I do love to go to the lavish bashes and ransack the open bar and dance all night on someone else's dime. That's fun, too. It's always been my philosophy that it doesn't have to be mine for me to enjoy it. So I'm not jealous if someone has a big wedding or a nice beach house or a car and driver. If I can enjoy it with them, it's enough for me.

So true. Taco Bell is NOT mexican food. Real tacos are NOT sweet and they don't even have sour cream and shredded carrot. Same goes for burritos and nachos.

Frappboat, you're not missing ANYTHING with Taco Bell. It's all pseudo-food. And it's all the exact same stuff, just in different shapes and sizes.

Well, at least they don't look as trashy as the folks who got married at the waffle house thing. Those looked scary. But I wonder why this couple didn't just held a normal civil ceremony? why do they have to marry at a stupid yucky Taco Bell?. Was it for the attention or are they just dumb?. Anyway, let's see how long they'll last.

Oh another sort of unrelated note, Charlotte Church announced on her website that she's called her new son Dexter Lloyd Henson.

So maybe next will be a Mucky Donalds wedding! :D

Again, WTF!
First, I knew the principal that sucked off the Blue Man. Now see an article about the Taco Bell in my town.

I go to college in Normal.
