Caragh Brooks, 21, of Australia, met Paul Brooks, 30, on an Internet dating Web site. They already had the same last name.

...

He proposed on New Year's Eve and, because they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there.
It's kismet!

I don't want to judge, but I must say that based on my own experience with Taco Bell, I imagine that one or both of them spent a significant portion of their wedding night on the toilet.

I'd like to see a wedding cake made out of layers of tacos. At least it would be different.

Well, people get married at sports arena and amusement parks, why not Taco Bell.

I was thinking bong, not toilet.

I'm sure this doesn't say much for my maturity, but that was the statement of the century - my wife heard me laugh from the other end of the house!

If they have the same last name, perhaps they're long lost siblings. That would complete the story.

Hottie if she cut out some of the Taco Bell, but not bad certainly. Probably better than what the average online dating scenario yields.

At least it's original.

They could have been boring and had an Elvis' Drive-Thru Shotgun Special.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

Good point. People will do almost anything to get a Australian residency permit these days.

I am proud to say I've never eaten at Taco Bell. Stories like this keep me away.

Hey, at least they have their own supply of rice to throw... although it might be a little sticky.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

What's so great about Australian residency? I hear they can't even use the Internet down there.

Taco Bell was better when the included the potatoes with the quesadilla instead of that dumb taco.

You can thank me for my deep insight later.

Yeah, but who needs it if you can still get the Holden that Pontiac sells the GTO.

Why not a Canadian Tire? They have pretty good floor space for a dance hall.

Hey, it's classier than a Taco Bell. At least they can do some tire rotations or something on your limo while you tie the knot.

And hopefully less nauseating than that damned MacDonald's Chicken Nugget wedding cake in that commercial they keep showing. That thing really disturbs me.
