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.

Chongo · Jan 13, 2009, 12:02 AM

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.

Chongo · Jan 13, 2009, 01:54 AM

She's not bad looking

30 year old guy hooked up with a 21 year old hottie. Nice going!!

Big Mac · Jan 13, 2009, 03:40 AM

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

andi*pandi · Jan 13, 2009, 10:33 AM

oh, she's from another country. Wonder if a green card plays into this equation?

Doofy · Jan 13, 2009, 10:49 AM

At least it's original.

They could have been boring and had an Elvis' Drive-Thru Shotgun Special.

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

I bet he had some taco that night!!!
more exclamation points!!!

osiris · Jan 13, 2009, 10:57 AM

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

Chalupa.

ort888 · Jan 13, 2009, 12:35 PM

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

andi*pandi · Jan 13, 2009, 04:04 PM

they were just trying to one-up these people:

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

goMac · Jan 14, 2009, 02:18 AM

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.

Divorce at Wendy's?

Unreal. At least have some taste and get married at something like the Golden Corral or some place like that. Sheesh.

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

gumby5647 · Jan 15, 2009, 12:11 AM

what? No jokes about it happening in "NORMAL" illinois

Salty · Jan 15, 2009, 12:00 PM

A friend of mine got married at Tim Horton's... very Canadian.

ctt1wbw · Jan 15, 2009, 05:30 PM

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

Salty · Jan 15, 2009, 05:38 PM

Who would get married at Canadian Tire? That's just stupid!

ctt1wbw · Jan 15, 2009, 05:40 PM

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.

I find her teeth disgusting.

SpaceMonkey · Jan 15, 2009, 06:25 PM

Yeah the second picture makes her look a little vampyric.

Watch what you say...I wouldn't want Google search results attracting any more Tw!l!ght fans than we've already been cursed with.
