What could be more romantic than being married by a bacon priest? (Picture Church of Bacon)

Forget getting married by a fat Elvis impersonator – you can now get married by a bacon priest from the Church of Bacon.

In Las Vegas, obviously.

But the sizzling celebrants are under attack from spoilsports and busybodies, some of whom are almost certainly vegetarian.

The ‘Church’ was set up by atheists to protest against discrimination against non-believers (and to marry people amidst the delicious sizzle of bacon).


One member is Las Vegas-based magician Penn Jillette – who is ‘our Sunday school teacher,’ the church says.

The Las Vegas-based religious organisation claims it is being discriminated against by the bank Wells Fargo, who refused to sign off documents for the church, according to its founder.



Founder John Whiteside, a former combat pilot says, ‘We’re not immoral. We’re not un-American. That’s what we’re trying to get corrected.’

‘We enjoy people mocking us. We mock ourselves. This isn’t supposed to offend anyone.’
