True Story: The Picture Perfect Wedding... at Taco Bell?!

"It's appropriate," groom Paul Brooks said. "It's an offbeat relationship."

*Pause*

SMH... really? I don't even know where to start with this one. Getting married in Taco Bell will never be appropriate! And I thought in the land of fast food nothing would top White Castle's candelit Valentine's Day dinners with waiter service... once again I was wrong.

A couple from Normal, IL (no comment) decided to get married in Taco Bell since a lot of their time is spent there (really???). I'm not one to judge, but come on people - a Taco Bell wedding? Are times really that bad? I understand we're in a recession, but damn, there has to be a better way! I'm sure there are other places you like to spend your time that are more fitting for a wedding and your budget. There's nothing romantic about smelling like taco meat during your wedding ceremony!

Nonetheless, Paul Brooks and Caragh Brooks, exchanged their vows at their local Taco Bell while seated across from each other in an orange booth (at least it wasn't at a regular table with those hard ass chairs that give you butt cramps). The employees went all out for the couple and decorated with streamers and balloons... they even had custom-made hot sauce packets with "Will you marry me?" written on them (um I thought this was a wedding, not a proposal. Get it together Taco Bell! "Just Married" would've been more fitting for the occasion and probably would've cost less to print).

Unlike most weddings this wasn't an invite only type of affair. Taco Bell kept its doors open to the general public during the ceremony so its loyal consumers, who couldn't fight their cravings, could come in and order their Chalupas and Gorditas.

The entire wedding cost about $200 - $15 went to the bride's hot pink wedding dress; the ordained minister was a friend of the groom, so that probably cost them a value meal... and the rest of the money went... um... where? Isn't $200 kind of pricey for a Taco Bell wedding? I mean aren't their tacos like 79 cents now? Sounds like the couple might have been robbed!

Paul and Caragh Brooks you probably thought it was a good idea at the time, but I'm sure there were some regrets when you spent the entire night on the toilet with the bubble guts when you should've been celebrating your day!

Why?? "For The Love of Ray J"

Join us on our journey as 14 of the sexiest women from across the country try to tame the ultimate ladies man, Ray J." (VH1)

This morning I saw a commercial for VH1's new show "For The Love of Ray J", and all I could think was "why?".

WHY RAY J?  I could've sworn you and Whitney were gonna ride 'til the wheels fell off! 

WHY VH1??  There's only so much I can take. Don't you think the people had enough? I can't keep up with all this buffoonery.  Please make it stop!  I blame you Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav!!!!

But as much as it pains me, I just might have to tune in and watch this trainwreck unfold (pathetic I know).  I'm really curious to see if Kim K, Lil' Kim and Whitney make guest appearances to help Ray J with his pick.

For those of you who care, the series premieres February 2nd on VH1.
