And they're not even trashy types!!!

Original story is here.

'There's no stress': Couple weds at Taco Bell



Wedding bells meant Taco Bell for Paul and Caragh Brooks.

Customers inside the fast-food restaurant continued to order tacos and burritos as the couple sat Friday in an orange booth at Taco Bell and exchanged vows.

"It's appropriate," groom Paul Brooks said. "It's an offbeat relationship."
Employees displayed hot sauce packets labeled with the words "Will you marry me?" They decorated the restaurant with streamers and balloons.

The bride wore a $15 hot pink dress and the entire wedding cost about $200. Several dozen guests looked on as the couple's friend, Ryan Green of Normal, administered the vows while wearing a T-shirt. He was ordained online.

Well... HE certainly doesn't appear to be. Can't say the same for miss bleach-n-cleavage there.

I would have understood if this was done in Asia somewhere, as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and TacoBell are thought of as "luxury" restaurants there, but to do it here in America? It's rather silly. In Turkey for example, McDonald's restaurants are two story buildings, the upper level being the V.I.P section, and the lower part being the regular restaurant. You walk in, and are seated by a hostess dressed in very chic Mcdonald's uniform, and a waitress comes to your table, takes your order, and returns with your BigMac or Quater Pounder or whatever. It really is expensive too, so usually people take their dates and stuff there. O_O They even have delivery service! XDD

Ra,

Staging events in public? I like it!

This reminds me of the time me and my friends tried to stage a rave at Myers department store (The poshest and most expensive department store chain in austrlia) we got kicked out by security which wasn't fun. We had about 23 people there!

So my next target is the 4th floor of the IKEA richmond building. They never have any staff on the 4th floor and they only have 2 security guards so it should be easy enough.

Still it's much easier to have rave parties on playstation home.

I went to Myer once, and it was so EXPENSIVE. x.x Nice attempt to rave it, though.

Can I join your rave party of IKEA? xD I'd love to do that.
