Hope this does not offend anyone, but it can't be worse than GMoney's discussion of bastard children. NO offense GMoney.

I can't help myself with this one. What the heck is the cause behind the sudden popularity of "redneck" weddings. I'm sure some one in another country in a mud or dung hut with a generator powered Satellite TV is watching the show "My Best Redneck Wedding Ever" and calling the head of government: "Trust me sir, we have nothing to worry about with these Americans . . . I just saw a drunk American woman wrestle a pig in a mud pit at her wedding. They were also playing horseshoes with toilet rings. These people are not in any way intellectually capable of the technology they claim to posses. If we ignore them in three generations, they will lose all language skills (social are already gone) and we can take over easily" Really, what kind of image are we projecting? The way we behave is tourists is bad enough, now we are flaunting our lack of dignity for all the world to see on an international forum!

What is a redneck wedding anyway?

Yes, how horrible that some find it more appealing to have fun and party down than have a nice white wedding with 1800 dollar centerpieces and a little string quartet in the corner.

Atrocity, Lets outlaw non-conventional thinking right away.

I Have to say,

If i get an invitation to a "redneck" wedding and a standard one on the same day. The traditionalists are getting the "regretfully decline response"

Strangely enough, I'm at least somewhat in agreement with csiunatc--I find the ludicrous amounts of money so many people throw away on wedding ceremonies a lot more shameful than playing horseshoes with toilet rings.

For that matter, I was reading in the NY Times about people in Manhattan who work as party planners for small children, organizing six figure birthday parties for five year olds--having that kind of shallow, incredibly wasteful materialism displayed internationally is what makes me embarrassed

  i caught one episode of that mtv show "sweet 16" - that show just made me sick. those parents were raising a spoiled brat who only thought of herself and as a reward she got something like a 2 million dollar party/present. ridiculous!

  I went to a wedding in 05. With some very wealthy peoples daughter marrying someone i know.
  
  Very nice wedding no doubt about it. No expense spared..
  
  By 9.30 i was so bored I sure would have needed something to puke in.
  
  Give me the coon dogs and kegs!! Atleast that will be something to remember (wether you can remember depends on how many kegs in the pickup)

I wasn't saying that you couldn't have fun or relax or even spend ridiculous amounts of money on the wedding. I went to an awesome one recently with kegs, barefoot bride, and fireworks (the best part was the four-wheelers picking you up at your car to give you a ride to the ceremony spot by a pond), but this one on TV had toilets lined up so that people would have a place to puke if they felt the urge. It is a real show and Tom Arnold is the host; I may have the show name wrong. And I will admit, I was totally glued to the show like a rubbernecker at a train wreck.

Oh - oh - oh - I have something to say!! LOL Born and raised in Dixi, I been to my fair share of redneck hitchin's. Everything from the shotgun wedding to the wedding at the Pawn Shop. I've also gone through every wedding planning excuse you can imagine...

"Nah, we can't get married on Sunday because they don't sell beer on Sunday."

"I gotta get my old man out of jail first."

"You want me to pay for a what? A cake? Hell get a box of Twinkies and hand everyone one."

But I have to tell you, there is nothing in this world sweeter than a couple country kids tieing the knot down here. Just married on the pick up truck windows, Always Save cans tied to the bumper, keg in the back of the best man's truck, and at least 3 coon dogs - just in case, I mean, you never know. LOL Momma comparing herself to the Mother In Law and deciding to hike her skirt 3 more inches - because she's sexier. Daddy sneeking to the bathroom for a shot of the Jack he has in his boot. It's a beautiful thing. LOL

@annaswan: I forgot! AT the wedding I just went to, there were dogs everywhere, all of them walking up and down the aisle and in between the rows through the whole ceremony. One of the dogs decided my son was cool and stayed at our seats licking him the whole time. I didn't have to worry at all about a crying or bored baby!

I'm from the South and I've never seen or heard of anyone in my area having a redneck wedding. That sounds more like something you would see on the old Beverly Hillbillies TV show.
