This story gives new meaning to the phrase cookie-cutter wedding. John Townsend and Michele Sarao ofWest Milford (only 30 miles away) have won an all expense paid wedding at a Dunkin' Donuts shop and a honeymoon trip to the Bahamas for submitting the most outrageous wedding proposal story.

The couple was among six finalist couples from the New Jersey corridor (New York to Philadelphia) chosen in the “Dunkin' Donuts Hole-y Matrimony Contest”.

Hard to believe no one could outdo this bit when John gave her three identical boxes marked "yesterday" with a picture inside from when they began dating; "today" with a recent picture; and, "tomorrow," with a picture of John holding a banner that said "Will you Marry Me." When Michele turned to look at John he was holding an engagement ring.

Awwwww.

We can understand why Dunkin' Donuts threw the contest. PR is PR, after all. What we can't fathom is a bride who would willingly accept cardboard-box catering or a pink-and-orange color scheme. Except, perhaps, for Malibu Barbie.
