This made it to the front page of Yahoo on Sunday, so it's probably made the rounds—apologies if you've seen it. I guess I've been living under a rock because I hadn't yet. Anyway, it's obvious the groom had breakfast on his mind rather than his wedding. If it's early where you live, careful with the volume. The bride gets shrieky. Video, after the jump....

Illinois couple Paul and Caragh Brooks were married Friday evening at Taco Bell. Wedding favors included Taco Bell hot-sauce packets that read "Will you marry me?" Said Paul Brooks: "We're a little bit of an offbeat couple, so we figured that we wanted to have an offbeat ceremony, and Taco Bell is the closest thing we have to a church, so ... this is where we like to hang out; this is where we wanted to do it." Video, after the jump....

"Waffle House is as much a part of our lives as our kids are," said the bride in this artistically rich multimedia slideshow from the Gwinnett Daily Post in Georgia. She's been working with her now groom at the iconic Southern chain for almost three years, so when he had to work on the wedding day, she knew it was the fated venue. Like Dan Dickinson of the blog VJArmy, I am so entranced by this. The colors, the love, and the thought of having celebratory grits and hash browns. Related: With this slice, I thee wed...

As wedding season gets into full swing, Regina Schrambling asks the question on many wedding guests' minds: "Why is the food at weddings so bad?" There are the obvious constraints: budget, number of guests, and those applied by venue (house catering only), but perhaps the real reason is less obvious: Weddings are the rare party not given for the guests. Even birthdays take participants into account more, possibly because pomp and ceremony are not allowed to spiral out of control. Instead weddings are a celebration of the hosts' fantasies, dreams, and ultimately, their competitive streaks—what couple does not want the extravaganza to end all extravaganzas? Girls who spend their whole lives dreaming of being brides see everything around them as...

The Vows column in the New York Times is one of my all-time guilty pleasure reads even when it's not about chefs, but the column featuring Butter chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli is a must-read for anyone interested in love stories starring quirky, lovable eccentrics (and who isn't?)....
