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.

It could have been much, much worse! They could have been married in Chicago at a downtown dance club on a Friday night and then a fight breaks out afterwards!

[sunshinefizzy]

Just think, they could get divorced in Taco Bell. After all, the food was inspired by mexican cuisine!!!

Hell, I would even do it since I would only pay $200 instead of $10,000 to $20,000 for a wedding, that is ridicilious!

Taco Bell: The New White Castle for Weddings

[DVDFreaker]

Hmm, I need to find a future wife who loves Taco Bell to death so that way, she will agree to get married at Taco Bell and I can save between $10,000 to $20,000 in wedding costs and only pay $200! :D

Yet bares only a superficial resemblance.

On the other hand, if either of them contracts hepatitis, they can blame it on Taco Bell.

Yes, there was a hepatitis scare a few years back at a Taco Bell in New Hampshire after an employee was found to have it. Patrons who ate at that Taco Bell had to get shots. True story.
