Unorthadox Wedding by an Internet Ordained Minister

Posted on 12 January 2009

Since we were talking about controversy over ministers ordained online last weekend, I figured I’d continue with the trend.

A couple in Normal, Illinois got married last week at their local taco bell. They were married as their friend Ryan Green, who was ordained online, administered the vows over customers inside the fast-food restaurant continued to order tacos, burritos and my personal favorite, spicy chicken crunchwrap supremes.

Employees went through all the hot sauce packets and picked the out the ones labeled with the words “Will you marry me?” and decorated the restaurant with streamers and balloons.

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

The couple wrote back and forth and talked on the phone for nine months before Caragh Brooks moved to the United States.

We have the same brain, just in two bodies,” Paul Brooks said. “We think alike in virtually every manner. We have the same interests, viewpoints.”

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 appropriate,” groom Paul Brooks said. “It’s an offbeat relationship.”

The bride wore a $15 hot pink dress and the entire wedding cost about $200. When asked to comment the grooms mother said “This is the way to go — there’s no stress.”

    Do you outsource your graphic work for your website? I like them and would be interested in knowing who did yours! I’m in the process of designing my template for my new blog but having a hard time. Looking to pay someone to help.
