Awww
The headline was one of those things you read and say, "whaa?" "Couple gets married at Taco Bell." I said to myself, this ought to be good. It worked for them, and was probably just as memorable, if not more memorable, than one of those ridiculous affairs where people (parents) drop $50,000 on the wedding. Congratulations to the couple, who get a big nod of approval from this particular wedding-hating person.
Caragh Brooks, dressed in a $15, hot pink dress, said her vows with Paul Brooks, who wore a lavender shirt and purple and magenta tie in honor of Taco Bell’s colors, in the dining area of the fast-food eatery at 1527 E. College Ave., Normal.
The entire wedding cost about $200.
“It’s appropriate,” the groom said of the Taco Bell choice. “It’s an off-beat relationship and we figured that would be off-beat.”
With several dozen invited guests in the room, the couple sat in a decorated booth with Ryan Green of Normal, a friend of theirs who became an ordained minister online. As Green, dressed in a T-shirt, officiated, they said the same vows.
