Edwards takes his wife to Wendy's for their anniversary
 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - He's worth millions and could afford the fanciest restaurant in town, but Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) and his wife celebrate each wedding anniversary at a fast-food joint.

The Edwards' have made a romantic ritual out of toasting their nuptials at food chain Wendy's, a tradition that will continue on their 27th anniversary this year.

"Wendy's, we go to Wendy's for our anniversary," the North Carolina senator told NBC's "Today" show on Thursday.

Elizabeth Edwards said on their first anniversary they were moving house, looking "grungy and awful" and so instead of going somewhere fancy they chose Wendy's.

"The next year, for some reason we found ourselves at Wendy's again," said Mrs. Edwards.

I think it is cute. I love a #1 from Wendy's. Not to mention their 99cent menu:p

Well if it bothered her I am sure they would break that tradition real quick.:D

In this day and age, they have the spark still and ya gotta give them some "awwwws" for that!

Sometimes the most romantic and meaningful times in a marriage are the ones that cost the least....

Our favorite "anniversary" restaurant happens to be Godfather's Pizza, for many of the same reasons the Edwards have gone to Wendy's. It brings back earlier and wonderful memories.

I'm cynical.

I think they made that tradition up.

Look! They are common people just like us! Vote for them!

lol why didn't they just buy the Wendys?

Ah who cares? I mean hey if that's what they like to do, good for them. At least they're eating in a restaurant founded by an American with one of the kindest hearts ever.

Anyone remember when Wendy's had salad bars? I miss Wendy's salad bars.

sageofages, I've heard great things about Godfather's Pizza. Is it strictly an Iowa thing?

I think that's sweet. :D

Good for them.

I remember Wendy's salad bars! It's been about 10 years since I've been inside a Wendy's though.

Godfather's isn't just an Iowa thing. We had them at home in Florida, too.

Godfather's Pizza is the best...first time I had some was in 1977 in Springfield Ohio, so I don't think it is just Iowa.

There's Godfathers Pizzas in Ohio. Wendy's salad bars were the best. I miss those so much. They had that really weird pudding on them, but as a kid I loved it.
