| He’s worth millions and could afford the fanciest restaurant in town, but Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. John Edwards 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. The millionaire trial lawyer described his wife as the "love of my life" and Mrs. Edwards said it was her husband’s optimism rather than good looks that first attracted her. "It’s a pretty face, but that’s not it," said Mrs. Edwards, of why she fell for her husband, who was once voted America’s sexiest politician by People magazine. |
