I wish I were kidding. You can't get much more fancy than this, folks.

All the sordid details and lots more pictures are at the link. Check it out:

1. Hells yes!

Actually, I would much prefer a good Waffle House waffle with butter and syrup, a side of grits and sausage over a rubber reception hall chicken any day.

2. I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom

I'm crazy, allow me to amaze thee, they say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me.

:rofl:

I once did that song at a karaoke night on a dare. Good times! :thumbsup:

4. I guess if they're happy with it...

... then who am I to diss their nuptuals?

But isn't it ironic how straight folks hire (and much of the time SEEK OUT) gay wedding planners?


Hi, Racaulk- Got your pics from the UK yet? :hi:

6. Love a good redneck wedding:

As the famous twang of Hank Williams Jr. blasted from an SUV stereo Friday afternoon, about 30 folks socialized, sipped soda and puffed on cigarettes.

The lucky couple, George "Bubba" Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn't have it any other way.

For years, the couple tried to marry on their Independence Day anniversary*. But the bride was always scheduled to work. Instead of waiting any longer - she got the day off at the last minute; Mathis had to report for the morning shift - the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work.

Standing nearby, the father of the newly minted Mrs. Pamela Mathis, William Christopher, wondered if anyone had videotaped the ceremony. He wants to send it in to CMT.

"I think it's pretty redneck myself," he said, laughing. "But I'm a redneck anyway, so."

The couple plans to honeymoon Monday and Tuesday, but then it's back to work.

The destination?

"I don't know yet," Mathis said.

* Anniversary of what they didn't say -they are both 23 and have been together nine years.

15. I was still a smoker when I got married and my

mom forbade me from smoking at the reception. She said there was nothing worse than a "smoking bride"

I did not agree with her, but respected her wishes and looking at that picture, I tend to agree with her - even though it was 10 years ago, I will tell her so.

17. You're both wrong

Nothing puts the assy in classy like a hugely pregnant woman with a ciggie between her lips.

18. you may have us there.....

I had forgotten that eye-sore.

7. "the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work"

They're 23, which means they've been dating since they were 14. Wow. And two kids to boot.

8. Kicking for the evening crowd.

9. Well, it beats all those sitcoms where the couple gets married in the living room... still,

If that doesn't remind you of that scene from "Ghostbusters", nuttin' will...

10. Congrats!

I hope you have many happy years! :hi:

12. I think this is cool.

[Zuiderelle]

14. I, for one, think spending lots of money on a wedding is stupid, so good for them.

They had their friends, they got married, they saved money. What's the issue?

16. Cue up the dueling banjos!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Love and waffles.

Amen.

Best wishes to them for many years together, and may they be filled with love.

20. Yay!
