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.

$200? See. I tell people they don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding but they don’t listen.

Will they be honeymooning “south of the border”?

There's something rather odd about that statement.

This is very, very wrong.They should have gotten married at Steak and Shake, since it was actually FOUNDED in Normal, Illinois.

They had to fire all the editors so they could recruit reporters from Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Gaza and Venezuela.

No you just have common sense. I think that spending that kind of money plus more on a wedding is stupid and insane and I’m a woman.

Another woman here, and I feel the same way! All that money could go into the bank, or towards a home! My husband and I got married on less than $500! And after 33 years, we couldn’t be happier and are feeling pretty comfortable.

Dittos here. Hubby and I got married for less than $200, both wearing borrowed clothing. LOL! Thirty years later...

I think maybe they’re on to something.....

Rather have a wedding and adjourn to a reception hall, and make the caterer bring everything in, have the wedding where the eats are.
