Normal Couple Weds in Taco Bell (Yes - Normal - Normal, Illinois, that is)

Did Taco Bell cater? What's wrong with MacDonald's and getting hitched under golden arches? How about Pizza Wedding Hut? I mean seriously, it sounds like these people had more money than brains....... no scratch that, the bell ringing probably addled their brains! lol I'm sorry, but this just reinforces my belief that society no longer holds anything sacred or worth of proper respect anymore.*sigh* My own wedding was small, intimate, beautiful and special. I wouldn't even consider having a wedding like the one you describe here. If this is modern day romance...........you can keep it!

While I don't think I would want to do that in a wedding. I think that they chose a unique idea! Hey they only spent 200 USD, they got an intimate wedding & it was very informal for them. It's kind of funny that they did it in "Normal" IL, hahaha I would like to do something unique but not too expensive & something that was intimate. Cheers! Pablo

I heard about several couples getting married at Taco Bell. Nothing new to me at all. lol As for me, we got married in the courthouse. Plain and simple and very cheap. I'm with you, why go all out on a huge wedding when you could take all that money and buy a nice house or pay off all/most of your debt.

Welllllll, I have to say that a big expensive wedding isn't quite what I would want to do either, but my guess is that so long as they had the legal peice of paper from the state/county and the guy was willing to sign it, then whatever.... Mind you, Taco Bell would be one of my very LAST choices, but then again, I AM allergic to CORN!

Well.... as a person who has had a traditional wedding and then a not-so-traditional wedding, I don't think anything people choose to do any more is of any concern. I don't think I'd want to get married at Taco Bell, but I would figure if a place wanted to give me free food or something, I'd likely take them up on it lol. As far as the criticism from people about multiple discussions on the same subject - I myself will do a SEARCH first and if it returns nothing, then I go ahead with my discussion. There's something about the search which is BROKEN because usually AFTER I have made my discussion, then I see others in the 'related' column! So... for anybody who gripes about multiple discussions about the same subject, take a chill pill. The reason it happens is because the searches return nothing until after someone makes another discussion. I don't know why but it has happened to me at LEAST five times! If mylot doesn't like it, they need to fix their search results engine. If there are other discussions about 'taco bell wedding', the initial search should have returned those other discussions! It's not your fault it didn't. I'm not quite sure why people want to spend so much on weddings. Now if I COULD, like if money were no object, perhaps I would. I think I would be more likely to be picky about some things, like my catering or maybe a place where everyone invited had dinner, or I'd be able to fly people here and put them up at a nice hotel or bed and breakfast or something, stuff like that. I still don't think it would cost 20K but that's because I'd still try to get the best deal on everything. As far as where the minister obtained his license to marry people, who really cares? It's true that almost anybody can get something like that online, and if you want to get married quickly, that's probably the best way to do it. I am one of those people who if I could, I would learn how to do everything and get certification to do everything so then I could just do everything myself and not have to count on other people. Other people do nothing but irritate me, slow me down, take their sweet time, refuse to do their job (to my satisfaction or within a reasonable amount of time) and if I could do everything myself, it would be loads cheaper not to mention a whole lot less stressful. My second wedding was excellent. Hubby and I went and did it while our older kids were on spring break visiting other family, so we just had our 14 month old. We went to get our license and got married at a library in town - it was cheap, took about 15 minutes, and we had one friend attend as our witness. We took pictures, didn't have a chance to get nervous, didn't have to order clothing, cater food, plan anything, or pay for a chapel, reception, etc. We were able to just relax, hang out, and then go ring shopping the next day and have a few nice dinners out and some entertainment. No matter how you slice it, when I think about my wedding, it's supposed to be for us. We don't need to go about impressing anybody. I just want to have a good time, know what I mean?

Hey jerz! Well, after reading the strange article about this couple I say why not? They seem to be weird in every other way so why not marry at Taco Bell? Personally, no thanks! I barely like to eat there! I have never been married, almost twice! I made the concious decision to back out before I made the drastic mistakes that would have surely ended in divorce anyway and I don't regret it either time! So I would now, as then never marry! What for? If I didn't do it then when I was young, why would I do it now? I feel that it just wasn't in the "cards" for me to wed! I lived with both ex-fiancees and I am glad I did! It proved that it would have been very wrong if it had gone any further! I am living with someone now~no chance of marriage on this one either although we get along alot better than the other two x's!

Well it is their right to choose where they get married. Must admit it is quite different. Maybe they are Mexican food fanatics and didn't want to take the time fixing tacos for all their guests. No matter where they got married I hope they have a long and happy married life.

Well....that was quite the story...Hopefully things will work out for them and they will live happily ever after...

LMAO!! HEY GF!! Wow!!! Words fail me Jerz on that article and the wedding I was hoping to see a picture of them for some odd reason LOL! boy can you say "coo coo for Cocoa puffs"???? I can!!! There's no way in hell I'd ever do something like that , well maybe if it was a Long John's Silver's, no maybe Golden Corral, yeah buffet baby! NOT!!!!!!! [i][/i][u][/u]

People in Normal, Illinois are anything but normal. I don't like going there because the people are so strange.
