NORMAL, Ill. (AP) - Wedding bells meant Taco Bell for Paul and Caragh Brooks.

Customers inside a Normal outlet of the fast-food restaurant continued to order tacos and burritos as the couple married yesterday in 1 of its booths.

Thirty-year-old groom Paul Brooks said he and his bride have an off-beat relationship and thought an off-beat setting would be appropriate.

Employees displayed hot sauce packets labeled with the words "Will you marry me?"

Twenty-1-year-old Caragh Brooks wore a $15 hot pink dress for the $200 wedding.

Jeez, and I thought I was splurging when my dress cost $250.

I would prefer Golden Corral though. They have cake :’)

How romantic - Johnny Edwards reaffirms his vows ... whoops, wrong Taco Bell couple. I’ll give Edwards one kudo: he got Mama T to ask “what was chili” in front of the national media.

The title is an oxymoron! (Thank you Bill Buckley)

[PJ-Comix]

Did he get his chimichanga microwaved during the honeymoon?

THere’s a YOung Frankestein joke laying around here somewhere if anyone wants to pick it up.

The love of my life (bless her soul) and I got married by the JP in San Diego. We didn't even have witness’s I remember the JP calling to his assistant “Cricket” saying “You have to do your duty again”

The Bell needs to bring back the Frito Burrito Supreme... heck if they had it as a finger food at this wedding, I would have attended ;-)

Works for me. My husband conducted a wedding at a Pizza Hut in Joplin back in the 80’s. Even made mention by Paul Harvey.

I have no problem with $200 weddings. Couples need to save their money for divorce attorneys.

[dfwgator]

Well Taco Bell did win the Franchise Wars.

[Radix]

Does this mean that there are now four rings of marriage?

The engagement ring, the wedding ring, the suffering, and the onion ring.

Do they even have onion rings at Taco Bell? If not then the lame joke is ruined.

A $200 wedding? Was that for the whole enchilada?

[Poser]

There are a lot of jokes about her soft taco, his burrito supreme, chimichangas, etc. here. I think I will pass.

[PistolPaknMama]

Actually doesn’t sound that bad. And I could get a #8, crunchy of course.

#8...phooey! You can get 10 tacos for 10 bucks and feed two friends too! :-)
