When John Townsend marries Michele Sarao this morning, she'll have her choice of rings - plain, chocolate or vanilla, with or without sprinkles.

The New Jersey sweethearts are planning to have a coffee-and-nuptials ceremony outside a Dunkin' Donuts in Hackensack courtesy of the pastry chain, which has thrown in a free honeymoon in the Bahamas.

Sarao, 28, and Townsend, 29, won a "best proposal story" contest held by the donut dynasty. On the second anniversary of their meeting last October, Townsend gave Sarao three boxes, each with a photo representing their past, present and future. The last box contained a picture of him holding a "Will You Marry Me?" banner.

Dunkin' Donuts are the best.2/28/2005 8:32 AM|||emily|||The title of this post made me wistful, because as you no doubt know, Dunkin' Donuts discontinued the crueller over a year ago. Apparently it was too labor-intensive to hand-twist all those cruellers. They now feature "the stick," which is a far cry from a crueller. Fortunately, small independent donut shops continue to supply cruellers.3/01/2005 3:44 PM|||Rob|||Cruellers gone? I had no idea...as I am so, far from any current locations.
This is too cruel! What's next? The coffee?3/15/2005 1:48 AM|||Joslin|||The store I work at still sells crullers. The bakers use a hang crank device that drops the dough in the grease, just like with the cake donuts. No twisting involved.
