The Taco Bell Wedding Anniversary Of Our Dreams

Turns out love is in the air. Or is that just the beefy aroma of the Chalupa Supreme?

For Mickey and Jo-Ann Muhlstein, it’s both. The couple, both in their early 80s, just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in none other than their beloved local Taco Bell―proving once and for all that true love, whether it be for a person or Nachos BellGrande, can indeed endure the test of time.

The Luxe Cravings Box Of Anniversaries

Of course wedding anniversaries can be celebrated in all sorts of ways. And once you’ve made it 60 years (think about it―that’s six decades of shared bathrooms, six decades of passive aggressive conversations about “wanting you to want to do the dishes,” six decades of deciding who chooses dinner this time) you should be able to celebrate wherever and however you darn well please. For the Muhlsteins, that meant their local Taco Bell, where the happy, clearly chill-as-you-know-what couple has eaten lunch for the past 12 years. 

What’s funny, or just even more endearing, is that per that archaic and/or likely historically pragmatic system of wedding anniversary “categories,” 60 years of marriage meant the Muhlsteins had actually made it to their Diamond Anniversary. The list is actually kind of weird: you’ve probably heard of the Silver Anniversary (25 years), but have you heard of the Wax or Silverware anniversary? Make it to 16 years of blissful marriage and you will. But then the Muhlsteins, whom we’re realizing might be geniuses, sidestepped all that by focusing on their two favorite things: one another, and living más. 

Taco Bell Also Believes In Love

Because game recognizes game, and because anyone who can make it through six decades of marriage (and 12 years of Taco Bell menu changes) is probably very, very chill, Taco Bell decided to reward the couple. As a present for their loyalty as customers, the mega-chain gifted the couple free Taco Bell lunches for the rest of their lives. (We’re assuming that includes the Luxe Value Menu. I mean―60 years, guys!) If this isn’t actually the high point of relationship goals, I don’t know what is. 

Free 5-Layer Burritos and endless Avocado Ranch Sauce aside, there really was love in the air that day. And with more than a little wink to the venue and his Mrs., Mr. Muhlstein summed it up beautifully: “Mild, hot, on fire, our love has been strong enough to survive every twist―and not just cinnamon.” 

Congratulations, Muhlsteins. May your Fiesta Potatoes be ever cheesy.
